Josh Allen and the leaders in the AFC East, the Buffalo Bills (4-2) host Will Levis and the Tennessee Titans (1-4) at Orchard Park Sunday afternoon.
The Bills return home following a 23-20 win Monday Night over Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. Buffalo scored just 3 points after halftime, but it was enough because their banged-up defense stepped up and held the Jets to just 3 points in the 2nd half. This team has to be a bit fatigued as the Jets’ game was their 4th since September 23rd. That said, they got a massive lift and should be energized following the acquisition of Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns. The one-time Alabama wideout is a true WR1 which was a need for Josh Allen and the Bills. The veteran has 691 receptions for 9,736 yards and 62 TDs in his 10-year career.
Will Levis was anointed the starting quarterback of the Titans before the season started. To put it mildly, he has struggled with the assignment throwing 6 picks and fumbling 3 times through the first 5 games of the season. Toss in the 2nd-year pro has also been sacked 15 times and you get the picture. The mistakes under center are costing this team seemingly every week. A quick dive shows the Titans’ time of possession is 9th-best in the NFL but they are T-25 in terms of touchdowns scored with just 10 through 5 games.
Lets take a deeper dive into the matchup and find a few sweats.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
The Bills just have to be at least fatigued at this point as they get set to play their 4th game in 3 weeks. The addition of Amari Cooper will help this team without question. It provides the Bills a true #1 receiver which they have not had since Stefon Diggs was sent to Houston. In addition, Cooper will help mentor the group of young wideouts on the roster. I expect Cooper to fit into the Bills’ offense seamlessly. Asking us to lay 8.5 points with the Bills is a big ask especially in a season featuring so many of the dogs covering but I am not sure the Titans’ offense can keep up with the Bill’ offense. Hold your nose and lay the points.
