Fearless Freddie’s Football Forecast
LOPSIDED. The unbeaten Buffalo Bills, soon to return two key defensive players to the practice field after suspension, host the winless New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon.
The Bills are favored by a whopping 16.5 points to send the rabid Highmark Stadium hopeful home happy yet again.
The Bills have won 13 straight regular season games at home and the Saints will become number 14.
Expect Josh Allen and company to dominate from the opening whistle after a 10-day rest.
FREDDIE sees it this way:
BILLS 41, Saints 28
