Buffalo lost a heart-breaker last week to Jacksonville on a last-second Byron Leftwich touchdown pass. Outside of that last drive, Buffalo's defense looked like it did in 2003: very good. The Bills allowed the second fewest yards last season (they are in the same position this year after one week) and should be able to keep Oakland in check this week. The big question is whether Buffalo can muster any offense. I think the Bills can score enough points to keep this one close. The Bills also have some trends going their way. In week 2, visiting teams in a matchup of winless teams cover the spread about 7 out of 10 times. If the visitor lost as a favorite, that percentage improves. I expect a low-scoring close affair. One unit on Buffalo.
