Buffalo at Tampa Bay Game Preview
Why Buffalo Will Win
The defense is still the best in the NFL – at least statistically.
It might have had a few meltdowns – like against Jonathan Taylor and Indianapolis – and the pass defense stats are was skewed after the wind game against New England, but this really is a good, prideful group that’s going to want to make a statement here.

The Bills will keep Brady from going off, but it won’t be enough. The Tampa Bay defense will hold up in the second half.
