Minnesota Vikings (2-4) at Buffalo Bills (3-3)
Two weeks after laying it on the Atlanta Falcons, Teddy Bridgewater was destroyed against the Detroit Lions and their relentless pass rush. The Vikings only scored 3 points against the Lions in Week 6, but I’m feeling a big bounce back game on the road at Buffalo.
The Bills aren’t even close to as dominant as the Lions along the defensive line, and the Bills pass defense is allowing 269.2 yards per game, 28th in the league.
It’s not like the Vikings are defensive juggernauts, either. The Vikings have the 20th ranked scoring defense i and are allowing 23.8 points per game. Kyle Orton should have plenty of options to work with on offense, and Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller should be able to run the ball consistently against the Vikings’ defense.
The Bills should win this game; they’re the better team. But… I believe in Bridgewater! He’s going to tear up the Bills’ defense on Sunday. Just wait!
