Thursday, November 7th, 2024

Buffalo, currently with a 7-2 record, will compete against the Indianapolis Colts, who hold a 4-5 record, on Sunday at 1 p.m. EST. The Bills enter the game as 4-point favorites and have achieved a 5-4 standing against the spread, whereas the Colts are 7-2.

The historical series between the two teams favors the Bills with a 38-33-1 lead. However, the last encounter in November 2021 saw the Colts triumph with a 41-15 victory.

In their last matches, Buffalo emerged victorious over the Dolphins with a 30-27 scoreline, while Indianapolis suffered a loss to the Vikings, ending 21-13.

Offensively, the Bills rank 15th overall and 16th in passing. Defensively, they stand 17th overall and 16th in pass defense. On the other hand, the Colts place 22nd both overall and in passing offense, while their defense ranks 29th overall and 31st against rushing.

Buffalo boasts a turnover differential of plus-11, contrasting with Indianapolis' plus-2.

A key player for Buffalo is James Cook, although Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman may not be available due to injuries. Cook is leading the team's rushing efforts with 496 yards and seven touchdowns.

Joe Flacco remains an important figure for the Colts, aiming to improve following a subpar performance in the previous game.

A significant matchup to watch will be the Bills' defensive line against the Colts' offensive line, which will lack Pro Bowl center Ryan Kelly.

While Cooper might return for the Bills, Coleman is expected to miss at least one game. Attention is also on Curtis Samuel's pectoral muscle injury, and Christian Benford is anticipated to make a comeback from injury.
