The Week 4 game between the Buffalo Bills and New Orleans Saints features two teams going in completely opposite directions.

The Bills once again have their sights set on winning a Super Bowl in 2025 and are looking the part of an elite team following a 3-0 start to the season.

Meanwhile, the Saints are awful, as we all expected, and the team is in desperate need of a rebuild as it rides the fast track to a lost season.

As a result of their respective situations, the expectation is the Bills will go into Highmark Stadium on Sunday and crush the Saints.

But that also sets this contest up to be the ultimate trap game for the Bills, something the NFL is infamous for.

Vinnie Iyer, The Sporting News

Iyer: "The Saints don't have much of a run defense or downfield passing game. That plays right into the hands of Josh Allen and James Cook as Buffalo rolls a non-conference foe at home." Pick — Bills 34, Saints 17
