We predict what Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills will accomplish in the final weeks of the regular season, plus their playoff picture.
Throughout the final three weeks of the season, we will learn a lot about the Buffalo Bills.
Each of the final remaining games on the schedule presents different challenges. One week, the Bills face a difficult quarterback matchup to try and contain. The next week, they take on one of the hottest teams in football. Finally, Buffalo has to compete with one of the best coaches to ever throw on the headset.
But, here they are, at 11-3 and atop the AFC as the number one seed.
In order to earn that highly-valuable bye week in the first round of the playoffs, though, Buffalo has to finish strong. Let’s break down the final three weeks with some bold predictions.
Buffalo Bills at Chicago Bears Week 16 Prediction
Buffalo travels to take on a Bears team that’s lost seven games in a row. However, they’ve been fairly competitive in most of those losses thanks to Justin Fields’ ascension.
The Bears continue to operate the NFL’s top rushing offense, ahead of the next closest team by over 300 total yards on the ground. Chicago is committed to the run, but it starts and ends with Fields. Ever since the Bears gave Fields the reins and allowed him to play more to his strengths, he’s taken it and ran, quite literally.
The Bills, meanwhile, operate one of the more balanced teams and defenses, specifically. They’ll be able to stop the Bears on plenty of occasions, but Fields will get loose in this one. The Bills will likely score over 30 and win convincingly. Once again, though, Bears fans will be on their feet on multiple occasions thanks to the former Ohio State athlete.
Bold Prediction: Bills win by double digits, but not before Justin Fields rushes for 100 yards
