Buffalo, NY – The Buffalo Bills (3-0) are set to face off against the struggling New Orleans Saints (0-3) in Week 4 of the NFL season this Sunday. The Bills aim for their first 4-0 start since the 2020 season, while the Saints look to find their footing following a challenging beginning to the year.
As the game approaches, the Bills are dealing with a few injury challenges. Defensive tackle Ed Oliver (ankle) and linebacker Matt Milano (pectoral) have both been ruled out for the matchup. Additionally, right tackle Spencer Brown (calf) and defensive end A.J. Epenesa (pectoral) are listed as questionable, creating some uncertainty in the team’s defensive lineup.
The Saints also face injury struggles, with defensive end Chase Young (calf) and offensive tackle Dillon Radunz (toe) unavailable for the game. Wide receiver Devaugh Vele (hip) is marked as questionable, potentially impacting the Saints’ ability to execute their offensive game plan effectively.
The oddsmakers have the Bills heavily favored by 16 points against the Saints. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. and the game will be broadcasted on CBS. The Bills have not only enjoyed a perfect record so far this season but also carry an 11-game home winning streak during the regular season, adding to the momentum going into this matchup.
In terms of performance, the Bills have showcased remarkable consistency, going eight straight games without a turnover, which ties for the longest streak in the league since 1933. This lack of turnovers has bolstered their standing as one of the most competitive teams in the league.
Analysis from football experts indicates that the Bills are likely to dominate the Saints, particularly due to New Orleans’ ongoing offensive troubles. The Saints, under the leadership of head coach Kellen Moore, are attempting to rally around quarterback Spencer Rattler. However, Rattler’s record as a starter remains disheartening at 0-9, adding pressure to the team’s performance.
The Bills have an impressive run game led by running back James Cook, who has continued to excel particularly following his recent contract extension. Coupled with a strong offensive line that leads the league in run block win rate, the Bills are well-equipped to establish a ground game against the Saints.
Viewers should keep an eye on key players like James Cook and wide receiver Khalil Shakir, both of whom have been productive contributors in previous games, especially during opening drives. However, the Bills will need to be mindful of discipline as they dealt with 11 penalties amounting to 55 yards in their last matchup against the Saints, which could prove costly if similar issues arise again.
As both teams gear up for this crucial game, the stakes remain high for the Bills to continue their winning streak and for the Saints to salvage their season after a difficult start. Fans and analysts alike eagerly await what promises to be an intriguing contest laden with potential impacts on the playoff outlook for both franchises.
