Our staff makes their expert picks for the NFL Week 15 battle between the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills
The Detroit Lions (12-1) will host the Buffalo Bills (10-3) in Week 15, in a battle of top teams in the NFL.
“Really good opponent, obviously, playing really good football right now,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said of the Bills. “It was a tough loss for them (last week), but this is the type of team that bounces back, they always do. So, we’re expecting their best. Certainly, everything starts with the quarterback (Josh Allen), he’s a phenomenal player, really does it all, (and) makes that team go. Defense—it’s a smart, crafty defense, they play hard, run to the football, they hit, opportunistic, (and) takeaways. Got weapons on offense, lean on the run game. It’ll be a challenge in special teams. So look, this is a top-tier opponent, so we’re looking forward to it and there’s no place you’d rather be than playing this type of football, this type of team, in December.”
