Why Josh Allen and the Bills can cover
The Bills have forced more turnovers (15) than any team in the NFL and are forcing a turnover on a whopping 22.8 percent of defensive possessions. Buffalo leads the NFL in scoring defense (12.8 points allowed per game) and points allowed per drive (1.00), with the No. 1 mark in total defense, giving up only 251.8 total yards per game to opponents. The Bills are rock-solid against both the pass and run, leading the league in rushing touchdowns allowed (one).
Buffalo is also uber-elite in both third and fourth down situations, with opponents converting only 32.3 percent of third down attempts and a meager 22.2 percent of fourth down tries. The Bills lead the NFL in red zone defense, giving up a touchdown on only 35.7 percent of attempts inside the 20-yard line, and there is a path for Buffalo to put pressure on Tennessee quarterback Ryan Tannehill. No quarterback has been sacked as many times (20) as Tannehill this season, and the Bills have a deep bench of pass rush talent.
Why Derrick Henry and the Titans can cover
Derrick Henry led the NFL in rushing yards (640) after Week 5 and Henry also led the league with seven rushing touchdowns. He is exceedingly durable, leading the NFL in carries, and combines explosiveness with power and craft. With Henry in the middle of Tennessee's attack, the Titans are the No. 3 rushing offense, generating nearly 170 yards per game, and are averaging 4.9 yards per carry this season.
The Titans are also quite efficient as an overall offensive, ranking No. 3 in first downs with 127, and avoid turnovers, giving the ball away on only 12.5 percent of offensive possessions.
