Fearless Freddie’s Football Forecast

By FEARLESS FREDDIE 2 min read

MOMENTUM. The Buffalo Bills surprised this writer by surviving overtime and dealing a bitter defeat to the favored Los Angeles Rams Monday night.

The remarkable Josh Allen led the day once again, using his legs to improve his club to a division best 4-1 record. And let's not forget the game-saving helping hand of Greg Rousseau.

The Bills remained away from home this week to battle Las Vegas this Sunday. The thought here is the Bills will pick up a victory before having an early-season bye week. Expect an improved Buffalo passing game to make a difference.

FREDDIE sees it this way:

Bills 33, RAIDERS 24
