This Week 8 clash between the Buffalo Bills and the Seattle Seahawks promises to be a high-stakes affair. The Bills are riding high at 5-2, with quarterback Josh Allen leading one of the NFL’s most potent offenses. Allen has already thrown for over 1,400 yards this season, and his ability to both pass and run gives Buffalo a dynamic edge. He’s benefitted from a solid receiving corps, including Amari Cooper and tight end Dalton Kincaid, both of whom have been reliable targets. Buffalo’s defense has been solid as well, ranking in the top 10 in points allowed per game. The Bills’ front seven, led by Greg Rousseau and A.J. Epenesa, has been successful in applying pressure on opposing quarterbacks, which could spell trouble for Seattle’s offensive line that has been inconsistent this year.

The Bills’ ability to disrupt the pocket will be key to slowing down Seattle’s offense. Seattle enters this game with a 4-3 record, coming off a tough loss but hoping to regain momentum at home. Quarterback Geno Smith has been leading the Seahawks offense effectively, especially with deep threat D.K. Metcalf and the versatile Kenneth Walker in the backfield. Walker has been a reliable asset both in the running game and catching passes out of the backfield. However, Seattle’s offensive line struggles have made it difficult for Smith to find consistency, and he could face heavy pressure from Buffalo’s defensive line. Defensively, the Seahawks have been vulnerable to the pass, which could be problematic against Josh Allen’s passing attack. Seattle’s defense will need a strong performance from its secondary and pass rush, led by linebacker Jordyn Brooks and defensive end Darrell Taylor. If they can contain Allen and force him into quick decisions, the Seahawks could keep the game close.
