Pros

The Packers are a massive 10.5-point underdog in this week’s game, likely leading to an extreme passing game script.
THE BLITZ projects the Green Bay Packers to be the 2nd-most pass-oriented offense on the slate this week with a 67.2% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
The weatherman calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind typically means increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing effectiveness.
The Buffalo Bills have stacked the box versus opponents on 19.5% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-most in the NFL. Positioning an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
The Green Bay Packers have used some form of misdirection on 54.7% of their play-calls since the start of last season (6th-most in the league), which can keep the defense guessing and improve offensive efficiency.

Cons

THE BLITZ projects the Packers to call the 9th-least plays on offense on the slate this week with 63.6 plays, accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
The Buffalo Bills pass defense has allowed the 9th-lowest Completion% in the league (63.3%) vs. WRs this year (63.3%).
The Buffalo Bills pass defense has been quite strong when opposing wide receivers have gotten into space, surrendering an average of 4.26 yards-after-the-catch this year: the 6th-least in football.
The Buffalo Bills linebackers grade out as the best unit in football this year in covering pass-catchers.
The Green Bay Packers offensive line has given their QB a mere 2.44 seconds before the pass (3rd-worst in the league since the start of last season), which has a harmful impact on all passing attack statistics across the board.
