The Bills are a massive 9.5-point favorite in this week's contest, indicating an extreme rushing game script.Devin Singletary has rushed for 0.30 touchdowns per game on the ground this year (on average), one of the largest figures in the league among RBs (75th percentile).Opposing squads have run for the 2nd-most TDs in football (1.60 per game) vs. the Detroit Lions defense this year.The Detroit Lions safeties rank as the 29th-worst collection of safeties in the NFL this year in regard to run defense.The Buffalo Bills have faced a stacked the box on a mere 13.2% of their plays since the start of last season, 7th-least in the league. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
