Bills vs Texans Preview & Bold Predictions

Bills vs Texans Preview & Bold Predictions

Author: Blue Wire October 4, 2024 Duration: 41:25

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of the Buffalo Bills at Houston Texans showdown, including keys to the game for Buffalo alongside a handful of bold predictions for Sunday.

After being handled thoroughly in Baltimore this past week, Sunday is a big bounce back opportunity in Houston against a very talented Texans team that's 3-1 so far this season. Of course, this game is attracting a lot of national attention and not just because both teams are good. Former Bills star Stefon Diggs is with Houston and playing well. Patrick talks about him and takes exception to a large national narrative right now that this is a "revenge game" for Diggs and Houston.

Patrick spends time talking Bills with some big picture perspective, brushing off the stink from the performance in Baltimore to point out several things going right for the team over the first month of the season as well as the latest injury news and who could be in or out for Buffalo on Sunday.

From there's it's about keys to the game and Patrick highlights being more committed to using James Cook in the running game than they did last week and conversely taking advantage of a suspect Houston interior offensive lineman with a pair of Bills defenders down the middle who've largely underachieved so far this season.

The episode is wrapped with a handful of bold predictions, including forecasting a long touchdown for a guy who's been a complete non-factor through four games and the opportunity for AJ Epenesa to leave a big footprint on that game. That plus a final score prediction and much more.
