I'm just not buying the Bills being a solid 5-3 team

They've played 4 teams with an overall top 15 defense. Here's how they played on offense against each.
Carolina-loss
passing yards-126 rushing yards-69 total=195
Denver-win
passing yards-213 rushing yards-75 total=288
Atlanta- win
passing yards-182 rushing yards-117 total=299
Cincinnati-loss
passing yards-166 rushing yards-82 total=248
Not one game over 300 yards total offense.
Defense is 23rd overall. Allowing 94.4 rushing yards a game and 250.2 passing yards a game. Total=344.6
Saints are 15th overall on defense. Allowing 116.1 yards a game and 210.5 passing yards a game. Total=326.6(Note: this includes the first two games)
Saints are 2nd overall on offense. rushing yards 122.8 and passing yards 269.8 Total=382.6
Saints are better on special teams also.
The only edge the Bills have are rush defense and turnover margin on D with 17, 11 ints and 6 fumbles while giving up 4 ints and 2 fumbles for a +11 margin. The Saints have 9 ints and 3 fumbles on D, while giving up 4 ints and 5 fumbles for a +3 margin.
So far the weather outlook isn't good, cloudy 40% chance of rain,10 to 20 mph wind, temp 45 degrees. Both teams have to deal with that. We don't turn the ball over, the Bills don't win. That's the only reason they are 5-3.

I wouldn't be surprised either way on who wins this game.
now, if we just totally laid an egg and Buffalo won big, then yeah I would be.
but I don't see a blowout loss coming considering the balance the Saints have on offense and a defense that continues to find ways to get the job done.
Edit: if they win (bills) it probably be by a FG or less.

When looking at the Saints schedule in comparison to the Panthers, the Saints really need to win this game. The Saints schedule is so much more difficult than what Carolina has. Sucks but they have a way easier road to the division title than we do even though the Saints are the better team

Just playing devil’s advocate:
They won two of those four.
QB’s we’ve faced past three weeks: Hundley, Trubisky, injured Winston/Fitzpatrick.
I want to believe, but let’s not pretend we’re all-world here.

I know we're trying to rationalize this game but it's important. It's on the road against a good team. 5-3 is hard to get to and we should know that given the past 3 seasons.
We have to stop their run consistently and only allow a scramble here and there against Tyrod. He's a decent passer but he takes risks which we can capitalize on. If we don't turn it over I believe we can win by 10-14. But if we do turn it over it's going to be a nail biter. I'd also feel a lot better if we got at least Warford back considering we will likely be without Armstead.
We win this one and I think we take care of business against the Skins. I'll save the Rams for another time but I feel like if we win these next two we're destined to win the division.

This is the type of thing that would make me nervous as hell in years past. This year not as much. We can pound the rock probably the best this team ever has under Payton. Even 2009 when we could run decently our ground game wasn't as good as it now.

They're a much better team at home than on the road.
If we get out to a lead they aren't really the type of team who can mount a successful comeback IMO.
Need to start fast.

It helps that we've been a very good running team so far this year. That'll be huge for a game like this.

Don't turn it over, and don't let Shady average 5+ ypc and you beat the Bills its that simple.

Playing and winning in Buffalo isn't easy vs this 2017 team.
They haven't lost at home and have one of the best RBs in the NFL to go along with one of the more efficient QBs in the league.

I kind of agree but...
Not looking forward to watching us catch punts in a New York drizzle....

what's funny is going on the Bills message board and they say the same thing about the Saints

Still a challenge in the nfl. I’ll be super happy with a win
