Can you tell me what you like about Bills DEF against Houston this week?
Absolutely! I like them for a few reasons:
– they are tied for 6th in the league in interceptions and going against a quarterback with the propensity to throw them.
– they are top half in the league in sacks, though Houston’s only allowed two of those this year so that’s a bit negated
– CJ Spiller is a threat to house a kickoff basically every game
– I don’t expect Arian Foster to play, and Alfred Blue was just OK. Buffalo’s run defense is 6th best in yards allowed and hasn’t allowed a rushing score this year.
If Foster plays, they probably drop to No. 3 or 4 on my ranks. My only hesitancy with them at this point is that Fitzpatrick occasionally has monster days for no reason, and if they struggle to run the ball here and just chuck it all day there’s a chance this could be one of those days.
Thanks. They disappointed me last week, but I missed out on most of the other great streamers. So, we’ll stick with them one more week.
