5 NFL teams on upset alert in Week 7

2. Buffalo Bills

The first thing that you need to know about the Buffalo Bills in Week 7 is that they will be playing in London. If there’s one thing that the recent years’ worth of London NFL games have showed us, it’s that weird things are going to happen and we are more than likely going to be watching an ugly football game taking place.

Make no mistake, the Bills are a substantially better football team than the Jacksonville Jaguars. Any argument to the contrary is laughable. However, the Bills are coming into this game with a ridiculous amount of injuries, including quarterback Tyrod Taylor and star wide receiver Sammy Watkins both already being ruled out for Sunday’s matchup. Not having those two players and having E.J. Manuel now starting at quarterback is enough to make you think twice about the Bills winning in London against Jacksonville.

However, one of the things that might get overlooked in all of this is the fact that the Jaguars have been moving the ball relatively effectively through the air as of late. Blake Bortles is still prone to making poor decisions and throws that lead to turnovers on occasion, but this team is chucking the ball all over the field and doing it often lately. Against a Bills defense that is susceptible to a passing attack, that’s another thing not in their favor.

Again, this game is in London and anything can happen. But looking at everything logically and seeing how injuries and everything else are shaking out heading into the game across the pond, the Jags may very well be primed to knock off the Bills.
