The Buffalo Bills (5-2) take on the Seattle Seahawks (4-3) in a primetime matchup featuring two dangerous teams. The Bills, who just bolstered an otherwise mediocre receiving corps with star Amari Cooper, once again appear poised to be one of the favorites to earn the AFC’s Super Bowl spot. This matchup of Bills vs Seahawks should be filled with action.
Meanwhile, Seattle’s dangerous passing offense, headlined by the trio of Geno Smith, DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, cannot be counted out in any matchup.
MVP candidate Josh Allen takes on Geno Smith and his high-powered Seattle offense in this Seahawks vs Bills clash.

Seahawks vs Bills Prediction
SEA Seahwaks 21, BUF Bills 24
On paper, the Bills are one of the most dangerous teams in football. Josh Allen is a superstar. Amari Cooper gives the team the true #1 receiver they have lacked since Stefon Diggs left Buffalo. James Cook has been proficent as the lead running back. And the defense features enough veterans and playmakers to get them across the preverbal finish line.
Cooper’s snaps were limited in his debut last week. However, this matchup should allow the Bills to properly unleash their newest weapon.
Speaking of weapons, the Seattle offense is nothing to scoff at. Metcalf being listed as doubtful for this matchup is a big blow. However, few teams have receiver depth like JSN and veteran Tyler Lockett waiting in the fold. When you throw in one of the league’s best, young running backs in Kenneth Walker III, and add a stellar home field advantage in Seattle, the Seahawks are primed to play spoiler in Week 8.
Seahawks vs Bills Best Bets
Josh Allen Over 250 Passing Yards (+145)
Allen, generally one of the league premier passing yardage leaders, the former Wyoming superstar is only throwing for an average of 211.9 yards per game so far this season. However, the presence of Cooper cannot be overstated. The former fourth overall draft pick is a five-time Pro-Bowler who has surpassed the 1,000 yard receiving mark in seven of his ten NFL seasons. His presence on the roster allows Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, and Dalton Kincaid to all reassume their role as secondary pass catchers, giving Buffalo a dangerous passing unit.
The Bills will have to throw early and often to keep pace with Seattle. Thankfully, the Seahawks have a middle-0f-the-pack passing defense (14th at limiting opposing passing yards). Allen is primed for one of his best performances of the season.
Amari Cooper Over 75 Receiving Yards (+215)
All the points on Allen also apply here. It is also worth nothing that Cooper has fought through one of the worst quarterback situations in the NFL during his time in Cleveland. His 41.7 yards per game this season with the Browns is drastically less than his career mark of 66.7.
Cooper has gone from one of the worst quarterback situations to one of the best. Expect the Bills to show off their new weapon in this shootout with the Seahawks.
