Buffalo Bills (6-1) @ Minnesota Vikings (6-1)
Monday, November 9, 8:15 PM ET
The 6-1 Buffalo Bills are traveling to Minnesota to take on the 6-1 Vikings on Monday night, and this will absolutely be the "Game of the Week" as far as matchups on paper are concerned.
The Vikings have had the best defense in the NFL pretty much all season, but the Detroit Lions found a way to beat them last week and were the first team to do so. And even then, it took a massive effort from Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, and the Lions' offense.
It's going to take the same from Josh Allen and the Bills, but this is a different animal.
While Jared Goff has been the NFL's best passer this season, Josh Allen has the highest EPA of any QB in the league thanks to his legs. Allen is the most dynamic dual-threat in the NFL right now, and we know Brian Flores likes to bring heat. No, we can't say that. That's not accurate.
Brian Flores loves to bring heat more than any defensive coordinator in the NFL.
He's not going to change for Josh Allen, even though Allen absolutely feasts against the blitz.
We already said this was going to be the game of the week, and the matchups within the matchup make it even better. The Bills are favored by 3.5 points on the road (they are 3-0 on the road this season) largely because the Vikings' offense has not proven to be competent enough to beat a team like Buffalo.
Playing at home is a huge factor in Minnesota's favor, but I think Josh Allen and the Bills keep their foot on the gas.
Prediction: Bills win 23-19
