Tennessee Titans vs Buffalo Bills Prediction
I’m going to stay with Buffalo. The Bills took part in a scrappy, sloppy game (22 combined penalties) against the Jets on Monday but managed to power out the victory. Buffalo came up with 361 total yards (210 passing), 24 first downs, and some timely pass breakups on defense. On paper at least, this weekend’s home matchup against an opponent outside of the division should be less of a hassle.
As for Tennessee, they looked pretty bad on offense versus a mediocre Colts team over the weekend. The Titans posted just 241 yards (95 passing), 4.4 yards per play, 16 first downs, and a rough 4-of-11 on third-down tries. The 11 penalties hurt quite a bit as well. Things won’t get any easier this Sunday.
