Sunday, November 20, 1:00 PM ET

The Buffalo Bills have recently faced quite a bit of unexpected adversity. Remember back to Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season. The Bills were on the road against the reigning Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams, and they put on an absolute clinic. They looked like the league’s most well-oiled machine and people on Twitter were legitimately saying they didn’t think the Bills would (or could) lose a game.

Here we are entering Week 11 action, and the Bills have lost three. They have lost some tough matchups and while there’s no shame in losing an 8-1 team, the Bills kind of had to have that game at home, at least to recapture some momentum. Unfortunately, having the two parts of the Minneapolis Miracle on their roster (Case Keenum and Stefon Diggs) was not enough to derail the freight train that is the Minnesota Vikings.

Playing at home and coming off of a loss, how could you take the Cleveland Browns in this game against Buffalo?

The Browns got absolutely smacked this past weekend by the Miami Dolphins, an absolute drubbing to the tune of 39-17. Unfortunately, simply running the ball with Nick Chubb as often as possible doesn’t really do it over the course of four quarters against explosive offensive attacks. The Buffalo Bills, even with an injured Josh Allen or Case Keenum (if he has to play) are a much better team playing at home compared to the Browns.

Cleveland will have just one more game without Deshaun Watson this season and I think he’s almost guaranteed to inherit a 3-7 squad next week.

Prediction: Bills win 27-20
