The Buffalo Bills have played disappointing football as of late and that has resulted in them not being in first place of the AFC East. With the Bills Week 12 visit to face the New Orleans Saints set for Thanksgiving, we wanted to take a deeper look at how they can get out of this funk and the Bills-Saints matchup as a whole.
In the past four weeks, they have losses to the Jacksonville Jaguars in which they scored nine points and a struggling Indianapolis Colts team who they made look like a Super Bowl contender. It seems like one week the defense is the one who can't get stops, and the next week the offense is the one who can't move the football.
For more insight on the Bills' Week 12 matchup against the Saints on Thanksgiving, listen below:
Luckily for Buffalo, they're going to take on another struggling team on Thursday night against the New Orleans Saints. This is a game that the Buffalo Bills should walk away with but the game is in New Orleans and they have struggled recently. Let's take a look at four bold predictions for the Buffalo Bills as they take on the New Orleans Saints.

Bill's Week 12 Predictions
4. Josh Allen throws for over 300 yards
Josh Allen needs to step it up this week as his team is not in first place anymore. He's going to come out firing and throw for over 300 yards with two or more touchdowns. The Bills offense and Josh Allen realized that they need to wake up if they want to win a Super Bowl like many thought they could at the beginning of the season.
This is the perfect opportunity for Josh Allen to show the world that he still is an elite quarterback even after some disappointing weeks. Expect Josh Allen to come out of this one with two or three touchdowns and over 300 yards to carry the Bills to a win.
3. The defense doesn't allow more than two touchdowns
The Saints aren't exactly a high-powered offense. This is the perfect opportunity for Buffalo's defense to get things to click and shut somebody down. Buffalo is not going to allow more than two touchdowns and they won't allow more than 20 points in this game. Their pass-rushers will finally play like they can be and be one of the better pass rushing defenses in the NFL as we have seen for a glimpse throughout the season.
2. The game is close at halftime but Buffalo breaks out in the third quarter
Buffalo has had some interesting starts the past few weeks including only scoring three points against the Miami Dolphins and also struggling to score some points early on in other games. This is going to be an issue that they need to address, but that's not going to change this week. Instead, Buffalo won't score much before half-time but will come out in the third quarter and score two touchdowns. They will also have a big fourth-quarter which will allow them to put up over 30 points in this game.
1. Buffalo wins 31-17
This will be somewhat of a close game throughout the whole game. Buffalo will eventually be able to seal it away early on in the fourth quarter and go on cruise control from there.
They will win this game over the Saints 31-17 and go back to being tied for first place in the AFC East.
