Hat tip to the Seattle Seahawks for taking down the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7 to snap their three-game losing skid, but I expect them to drop this Week 8 tilt against the Buffalo Bills.
Buffalo beefed up its receiving room with the acquisition of Amari Cooper, and the veteran provided an immediate boost for the offense in limited action. Cooper hauled in four of five targets for 66 yards and a score on just 18 offensive snaps. A full week of practice will only help his chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen.
I also value Allen turning in a high-end showing against a tough Tennessee Titans defense last week. He threw for 9.8 yards per attempt with a 9.2 aDoT and posted his highest PFF passing grade of the year.
Additionally, the Bills rank higher in DVOA, including in both offensive and defensive metrics, and Buffalo is better on both sides of the ball in EPA per play.
Still, I do expect Seattle to push Buffalo and for this to be a back-and-forth game. The Bills and Seahawks, respectively, rank fifth and eighth in points per game and 11th and 12th in yards per play. Both teams are also solid in the red zone, with touchdown conversion percentages ranking seventh and 10th.
Turning to the final leg of this same-game parlay, Bills tight end Dawson Knox (ankle) missed Wednesday’s practice, while Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) was a limited participant. As a result, there’s potential for Kincaid to see a slight uptick in snaps, and he’s already recorded 40 or more receiving yards in four of his past five games, with 19 receptions for 225 yards on 31 targets.
The Seahawks haven’t defended the position well, either. Seattle has surrendered the ninth-highest yards per target (7.87) and 10th-highest catch percentage (76.9%). Additionally, Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts hauled in seven of nine targets for 65 yards against Seattle last week.
