Key Factors
Favors Over
The Buffalo Bills have played in the most "bad weather" (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in the league since the start of last season, which should mean increased pass volume, reduced running volume, and improved passing attack results when facing improved weather in this week's contest.
With a top-tier 15.7% Red Zone Target Rate (76th percentile) since the start of last season, Dawson Knox has been as one of the TEs with the biggest workloads near the end zone in the NFL.
The Buffalo offensive line profiles as the 4th-best in the league since the start of last season in protecting the QB, which has a positive effect on all passing offense stats across the board.
As it relates to linebackers in covering pass-catchers, Los Angeles's group of LBs has been terrible since the start of last season, profiling as the 2nd-worst in the NFL.
