‘Their life doesn’t get any easier. The Packers are heading to Buffalo to take on the surging Bills, who have won three straight games and are 5-1 on the season. They’re coming off a bye week following an emotional win against the Chiefs, and looking like legitimate Super Bowl contenders with Josh Allen at the helm.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Packers at Bills: Sal’s keys, notes and stats
‘Rodgers can make plays to keep his team in games, even when things aren’t going as well as expected. The Bills have to make sure they don’t allow that to happen and not give Green Bay hope, knowing they have one of the best to ever play throwing the ball.’
WKBW sports staff predicts Green Bay Packers @ Buffalo Bills
‘If Green Bay is going to pull off the upset this week, they’ll need splash plays from their playmakers. But here’s the problem for the Packers – they don’t have any elite playmakers at wide receiver. Allen Lazard is a good player, but he’s banged up heading into this matchup. Former Bill Sammy Watkins looks like he could return this week, but has failed to produce consistently. Rookie Christian Watson is also dealing with an injury, and could be unavailable.’
Bills, Packers are ready for Sunday Night Football
‘The Bills are coming into this game with more confidence in their rushing attack. Two weeks ago against Kansas City was one of the best ground games we have seen from this Buffalo offense in years. The Bills were easily able to move the ball on the ground, rushing for 125 yards on 31 carries.’

‘Why is there any reason to believe the Packers are going to find something to motivate them against the Bills? Rodgers isn’t wired that way. When he plays well, he does so methodically, almost mechanically. He’s a cool, calculating pro who doesn’t ride the emotional waves the way veteran counterpart Tom Brady does.’
Thad’s Three Things: Bills vs. Packers
‘Green Bay, on the other hand, has been an utter disaster since a 3-1 start. Their three-game losing streak included two games where they were favored by more than a touchdown and two where they blew double-digit leads. To be fair, two of those losses were against arguably the top two surprise teams in the league (Giants and Jets).’

‘”I think everyone on this team always loves primetime just knowing the eyes are on us. It gets (us) a little extra hyped up every week. I think with primetime there’s always a little extra juice, too. It’s easy to get yourself going,” Bills TE Dawson Knox said.’
Top 6 storylines to follow for Bills vs. Packers | Week 8
‘The Packers’ issues haven’t necessarily been on defense. In fact, they have yet to give up more than 27 points in a game. Their issue has been the offense’s inability to get it going with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his playmakers with the departure of Davante Adams. On the other hand, Buffalo has had an offense and defense that have supported each other through the start of the season. When Buffalo’s offense hasn’t performed at its best, the defense has been able to help out and vice versa.’
