Saint Pick

NEXT LEVEL. The Buffalo Bills came alive on the national stage on Thanksgiving in Dallas, soundly beating the favored Cowboys. Going forward, that victory looms large in their push for the playoffs.

This Sunday, the Bills meet arguably the best team in the NFL — the Baltimore Ravens. With 10 days to prepare and a crazed fan base ready to erupt, look for the Bills to rise to the occasion.

Freddie sees it this way:

BILLS 20, Ravens 17
