1. Carson Palmer, QB, Arizona Cardinals

Palmer is actually 0-3 lifetime against the Bills. All three games came when he was back with the Bengals. He hasn’t faced them since 2010, where Cincinnati lost 49-31. Palmer has six TDs to five INTs in those games. While Ryan has gotten the best of Palmer thus far, I’d expect Palmer to get a little taste of revenge on Sunday.

Buffalo is giving up an average of 316 yards passing game, 26th in football. According to SportingCharts, the Bills have already given up eight passing big plays, defined as plays 25 yards or more. No team in football is better than the Cardinals in this category. Arizona can stretch the field vertically to create the big play, but also can run all sorts of screen plays and create YAC.

The Bills also have given up 68.7 of their opponents targets. If Buffalo gets off to a slow start defensively, forget about it. Palmer is heating up and that means trouble for the Cardinal’s opponents.
