Buffalo Rumblings
On paper, the Buffalo Bills (3-0) are the biggest favorite of the young season when they welcome the New Orleans Saints (0-3) to town Sunday afternoon, with the Las Vegas oddsmakers pegging Buffalo as 15.5-point favorites over the Saints. But on any given Sunday, any team can emerge victorious…just look to last week, when the Cleveland Browns knocked the heavily favored Green Bay Packers off in the upset of the year to date.
Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining the key matchups to watch and positional analysis as the Bills look to avoid a trap game vs. the Saints and start the season 4-0 for the 10th time in franchise history.
The Saints might be one of six winless teams in the league, but they will still present some challenges to a Bills squad that has struggled to get off the field on third down scenarios this year.

On the other side of the football, James Cook and Buffalo’s ground game should experience plenty of running room against a porous Saints defense; Josh Allen should have ample time to find his open receivers against a Saints pass rush that is not great at generating pressure on opposing quarterbacks; will this be the week that offensive coordinator Joe Brady dials up some deep passing plays for Josh Allen?; and can Buffalo extend their streak to 25 straight games of winning the turnover battle?
