Josh Allen is far from being a Pro Bowl quarterback, but he’s trying his best to drag the Buffalo Bills’ offense somewhere close to where it could get a bit more respect. Allen will go up against a legend in Week 4 in the form of Green Bay Packers signal-caller Aaron Rodgers, who’s playing hurt, but he’s still Aaron Rodgers.
At press, NFL Futures list the Bills with +12,500 odds to win the AFC while the Packers are packing +900 odds to win the NFC this season. Read on for a preview of this intriguing matchup between two teams looking to avoid falling further behind in their respective divisional races.

Betting on the Buffalo Bills (1-2)
The Bills entered last weeks’ game against the Minnesota Vikings looking like a bunch of sitting ducks, but Josh Allen and company flipped the script and proceeded to embarrass the hosts in a 27-6 road win to finally break through the win column. Much of the credit for Buffalo’s win goes to the team’s defense that held the Vikes to only 292 yards and forced Minnesota to commit three turnovers. Minnesota only had 14 rushing yards on six carries, as it hard immense trouble solving Buffalo’s defense that is fifth in the league against the run with 80.0 rushing yards allowed per game average so far this season. Buffalo’s ground game stepped up, too, even without star running back LeSean McCoy who’s dealing with rib injury. Rookie QB Josh Allen had 39 rushing yards and scored both of the Bills’ rushing touchdowns, while Chris Ivory led the team with 56 rushing yards, albeit on 20 carries. Buffalo needs to cut down on penalties after being called for infractions 12 times in the Minnesota game.
The Bills are 3-1 ATS in their last four road games.
Betting on the Green Bay Packers (1-1-1)
The Packers need to protect quarterback Aaron Rodgers better. It’s been a cliched and worn-down chorus that everyone has heard of, but the Packers have yet to address their pass protection issues. In their 31-17 road loss to the Washington Redskins last Sunday, Rodgers, who is already not 100 percent healthy, got sacked four times for a loss of 25 yards. Furthermore, the Packers are fifth in the NFL with 12 sacks allowed. That doesn’t sound good for the Packers with regards to their matchup with Buffalo, which has a total of eight sacks on the season. That said, the Packers just have enough talents on skill positions on offense to wear down Buffalo’s defense. Rodgers should also get more help from returning running back Aaron Jones, who played his first game after a two-week suspension against the Redskins and rushed for 42 yards on six carries. He did not get plenty of workload, but he’s expected to beginning this coming Sunday.
The Packers, who are averaging 23.3 points per game, are 2-2 ATS in their last four home games.
Writer’s Prediction
Green Bay wins, 27-17.
