Bills at Lions 8/23/19 - NFL Preseason Picks & Predictions
The Buffalo Bills are set to visit Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan for a Week 3 preseason clash against the Detroit Tigers. The Buffalo Bills come into this matchup with a 2-0 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent game against the Carolina Panthers, 27-14. Matt Barkley looks like a valuable option at the backup QB spot as he connected on 8 of his 10 attempts for 110 yards and a TD. Cole Beasley should be the Buffalo Bills top target this season, and he proved that against the Panthers as he recorded a team-high 5 receptions for 44 yards.
The Detroit Lions have struggled a ton on the defensive side of the ball during the preseason as they have allowed their opponents to combine for 61 points through 2 games. 2nd-year safety Miles Killebrew had a big game in the secondary for the Detroit Lions as he contributed 6 tackles and 1 TFL. Andrew Adams looks like a potential starter after pitching in 4 interceptions for the Buccaneers last season, and he showed his ball-hawking abilities with an interception against the Texans.
Betting Trends for vs
These two teams have been on the opposite side of the spectrum during the preseason as the Bills are undefeated and have looked impressive on the offensive side of the ball while the Lions have had troubles on both sides. Veteran QB Matt Barkley has had an impressive preseason as he has thrown for 236 yards and 2 TDs, and he should pick apart a defense that has not held an opponent under 30 points thus far. The Bills made it a priority to surround the QBs with WR options this offseason, and they addressed that which has been a difference-maker. Final Score Prediction, Buffalo Bills win and cover ATS 31-17.
