12. Buffalo Bills – 322.7 Total Yards Against

The Bills seem to get torched every week, yet their defense stays consistent enough to make them relevant. This week, they’ll have problems since the Texans defense is the best in the league.

11. Minnesota Vikings – 317.5 Total Yards Against

The Vikings come into this week hoping to keep their playoff hopes alive against the Packers. With Josh Jacobs currently questionable, the Vikings will have an easier day if Jacobs misses. Regardless, a divisional game like this is huge.

10. New Orleans Saints – 317.5 Total Yards Against

After beating up the Panthers before their bye, the Saints will be facing the Falcons this week. If the Saints can get pressure on Kirk Cousins, they’ll have the Falcons singing “we hate that,” all the way back to Atlanta.

9. Seattle Seahawks – 301.5 Total Yards Against

The Seahawks literally had their doors blown off by the Rams and were forced to keep up with them in their game last week. This led to multiple pressures on Sam Darnold, who broke under pressure by throwing four interceptions. This week, they’ll be playing the Titans, who are no match for the Seahawks.
