Bills vs. Falcons Key Player to Watch

  • Michael Penix Jr., QB - Atlanta Falcons

It's been a rollercoaster start to the season for Michael Penix Jr. He's had a couple of solid starts, one horrific start, and then one fantastic start. If the Falcons want to pull off the upset on Monday Night Football, they need the version of Penix Jr. that threw for 313 yards and two touchdowns against the Washington Commanders.

Bills vs. Falcons Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the Road to 272 Bets, I broke down why I'm taking the points with the Falcons in this interconference prime time showdown:

The Buffalo Bills were exposed on Sunday Night Football. They are an elite offense that has plenty of issues on defense. Now, they have to take on a Falcons team that's coming off a BYE that has looked extremely strong defensively to start the season. The Falcons lead the NFL in Defensive DVOA, and overall, they're fifth in the league in Net Yards per Play at +0.8. Meanwhile, the Bills are 22nd in Defensive DVOA and are ninth in Net Yards per Play at +0.7.

The biggest question mark in this game is which version of Michael Penix Jr. will show up in this game, but I'm banking on his preparation being locked in after a week off. Atlanta may not win, but I'll take the 4.5 points with the Falcons on their home field on Monday Night Football.
