Bills vs Lions Betting Prediction: Buffalo
This is the Bills vs Lions Betting prediction for Buffalo.
The offense has been the driving force behind the Buffalo Bills‘ fantastic performance this season. They are averaging 355 yards per game and scoring an average of 30.5 points per game. They rank second in scoring and tenth in total offense. The offense is associated with Josh Allen’s performance this year, as he has been an MVP-caliber player.
He has a 64.1% completion percentage, 3,033 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, and five interceptions. As the season progresses, the receiving corps has further developed and stabilized. Khalil Shakir has been a leader in the receiving corps, with 735 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 65 receptions.
James Cook and Josh Allen have been instrumental in the effective execution of the running attack. Allen has accumulated 416 yards and nine touchdowns on 80 carries, while Cook has accumulated 723 yards and 11 touchdowns on 157 carries. The Bills offense will be capable of scoring against the Lions’ defense. The Lions have been consistent, but they are currently grappling with injuries as they prepare for this matchup. Josh Allen and this offense should have no difficulty scoring against this defense.
This season, the Bills’ defense has been consistently effective. They permit an average of 332 yards and 20.6 points per game. They have been exceptional against the pass; however, they have not been as effective against the run. They are permitting a maximum of 208.9 yards airborne and 123.1 yards on the ground.
The defense is also talented, with Greg Rousseau, Ed Oliver, and AJ Epenesa at the forefront. Matt Milano is exceptional in the middle, while Rasul Douglas, Damar Hamlin, and Taylor Rapp are the primary standouts in the secondary. This defense is the most critical weapon against a Lions team, and it has demonstrated the ability to score at will. The Bills require their defense to perform at a high level, as they possess the ability to impede the Lions’ progress. However, it will be a challenging task, particularly on the road in Detroit.

Bills vs Lions Betting Prediction: Detroit
This is the Bills vs Lions Betting prediction for Detroit.
The Detroit Lions and their offense have been among the most exceptional units in the NFL. They generate an average of 394.8 yards and 32.1 points per game. In the entirety of the league, they rank second in terms of total offense and first in terms of scoring. The most significant factor this year has been their offensive balance.
Jared Goff has a 72.4% completion percentage, 3,265 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions through the air. In addition, the receiving corps has been exceptional due to its overall balance. The passing game’s top two assets are Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.
Williams currently has 710 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 39 receptions, while St. Brown has 863 yards and nine touchdowns on 81 receptions. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery have been formidable two-headed beasts in the backfield.
Gibbs has 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns on 178 carries, while Montgomery has 771 yards and 12 touchdowns on 180 carries. The Lions possess an abundance of offensive weapons, which should enable them to effectively advance the ball and score against the Bills. In their home game against the Bills, the Lions have been a destructive force on offense, and this trend is unlikely to change.
The Lions’ defense has been effective this year in a subdued manner. They are allowing an average of 318.6 total yards and 18 points per game. They are fifth in the NFL against the run, despite their struggles against the pass. They permit a maximum of 224.7 yards in the air and 93.9 yards on the ground.
At the forefront of this defense are playmakers such as Za’Darius Smith and DJ Reader, while Jack Campbell occupies the middle. In addition, Brian Branch, Kerby Joseph, and Terrion Arnold have been instrumental in the secondary school. In this matchup against Josh Allen and the Bills, this defense may be vulnerable due to the numerous injuries they have been enduring. The keys to slow down this high-powered offense are in their possession; however, it may prove to be their greatest obstacle this year.
