Ball on your 20 yard line. You put Saints Offense against Bills defense vs you put Bills Offense against Saints defense, almost everyone will go with Saints O.
And that is the truth, too, deservedly so.
But a complete football game is not simple. What if the ball is on the 30 yard line for the Bills offense? What if the Bills offense has more chances than the Saints'? What if saints offense has to execute more plays per drive in order to score?
The Bills really need to pull all of the things together to score an upset. No mistakes like McKelvin's fumble in Foxborough or Jackson's fumble in red zone in Ralph.
But the biggest key, to me, is the D-Line. They'll have blitz here and there, but we need to D-line to generate pressure with the front 4 to allow 7 back there to limit Brees' damage. The Saints never won the turnover battle in the past 3 seasons because they threw so much. We'd really need some this Sunday. In fact I'm going to say without getting a +2 in turnovers, the Bills probably won't win.
