Jeremy Cluff writes: “Could this game be a Super Bowl preview? Maybe. We hope these teams treat it as one. The edge in this one goes to the home team, which is 6-1 at Highmark Stadium, and has Josh Allen at quarterback.”
Bookies.com: Bet the Bills to cover vs Eagles
Bill Speros writes: “Tom Brady makes his final appearance at Highmark Stadium – in the booth for FOX. The Eagles clinched the NFC East in Week 16. They’re all-but locked into the No. 3 seed in the NFC. The Bills’ run of 5 straight AFC East championships may well be over before this one begins. The Patriots clinch the division with a win over the N.Y. Jets in the 1 p.m. Sunday slot. Still, the Bills need to win here to keep pace in the Wild Card race. Josh Allen & Co. are 6-1 at home this season and have won 5 straight outright. Plus, they cover against good teams at home. They’ve covered in their past 10 home games against teams with a winning record, not named the Patriots. Allen gets it done. Again.”
The site’s formula predicts that the Bills will win the NFL Week 17 game against the Eagles.

Matt Johnson writes: “Entering Week 17, the Buffalo Bills have surrendered 143.6 rushing yards and 1.7 rushing touchdowns per game with a 5.3 yards-per-carry average in the last 10 contests. This is a great opportunity for a resurgent Philadelphia Eagles offense – 152.8 rush ypg and 5.0 ypc in last four weeks – to exploit Buffalo’s biggest weakness. Plus, Philadelphia’s defense is getting Jalen Carter back for Week 17 and this unit is perfectly equipped to shut down Josh Allen through the air.”
