The Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions meet up for that final tune up for the regular season. Most of the starters will be riding the bench for most of the game. This will be a final audition for the last roster spots on the team. Look for some relatively unknown players to make some plays on the night.

Bills Player to Watch: Jeff Tuel

Have to keep your eyes on the youngster who could be under center when the games get real in a week. Tuel could be the starter in week 1, so he better get those nerves out of the way now.

Chiefs Player to Watch: Micheal Spurlock

Spurlock is fighting for the final receiver spot on the roster. He is fighting for his life and that is what these games are for. He is a good returner and could help out receiving as well.

Matchup to Watch: Matt Leinart vs Jeff Tuel

It is hard to think of Matt Leinart as a veteran, but he has been in the league for a while and he is competing to get some snaps with the rookie Jeff Tuel. Whoever does better could be starting in week 1 of the season.

Prediction

This game will look nothing like a regular season game. Matt Stafford and C.J. Spiller will all be out of the game before the 1st quarter even ends. They will likely get one good drive and move on to prep for the opener.

Lions 23, Bills 20.
