4PM Sunday Game: Buffalo Bills (5-2) vs. Seattle Seahawks (4-3)

Predicted Score: Buffalo 31.5 - Seattle 25.5
Vegas Spread: Buffalo -3, O/U 45

Quarterback Matchup:

Josh Allen (Bills) holds a clear edge over Geno Smith (Seahawks), both in consistency and explosiveness.

Game Flow:

The Bills are expected to rely heavily on their ground game, with James Cook slated for 22 carries. This will keep the clock running and likely allow Allen to mix in some high-efficiency passing.

Team Offense vs. Defense:

Bills: The Bills’ defense allows 36 points per game on the high end, but their offense is potent, averaging 37 points against teams with similar defensive setups. Allen’s dynamic play will test Seattle’s defense.
Seahawks: Seattle's defense has struggled, allowing up to 44 points against similar offensive opponents. However, they can still put up points, averaging up to 42 points in high-output games. With a high-powered offense, Seattle will aim to stay close by testing the Bills' secondary and creating space for explosive plays.

Key Factor:
If the Bills can establish Cook and keep Seattle’s offense off the field, they’ll control the pace and likely cover the spread. However, with both defenses prone to giving up points, this could turn into a high-scoring shootout.

Final Take:

The Bills are positioned as favorites for a reason, but this could be closer than anticipated if Seattle’s offense finds a rhythm.
