12. Buffalo Bills – 312.6 Total Yards Against

The Bills looked like they were about to get run out of New England when the Patriots took a big lead before halftime. However, after halftime, Super Allen showed up and took them apart for another Bills win.

11. New Orleans Saints – 311.2 Total Yards Against

The Saints have been a laughing stock at times this year but last week they showed the Panthers what’s up. This week, they’ll feast on the Jets, who play like football like a college team at times. Look for the Saints to win this game and send the Jets back to New York with another loss.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars – 308.5 Total Yards Against

The Jaguars beat up the Jets last week with the sacks and three turnovers in what turned out to be a blowout. This week, they’ll have a real challenge as they face the Broncos in Denver this week.

9. Minnesota Vikings – 307.9 Total Yards Against

The Vikings had their hands full with the Cowboys, but only sacked Dak Prescott twice. They’ll need a better effort this week against the Giants, who aren’t that good, but have a defense that could cause problems for the Vikings.
