The road for the disappointing Green Bay Packers does not get any easier on Sunday as they travel to Buffalo to face the surging Buffalo Bills. The Packers are 3-4 on the season and have lost 3 straight while the Bills are 5-1 and have won 3 straight. These two teams have not played since 2018 when the Packers blanked the Bills 22-0 in Green Bay as an 8.5 point favorite. But for this nationally-televised Sunday Night Football tilt, the Bills are an 11 point favorite.
Has there been a bigger disappointment this season than the Green Bay Packers? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers might give them a run for their money, but overall, they have not been good. They are now facing one of the best teams in the NFL in one of the most difficult places to play, so a win here this week would truly be an upset. The Packers come into this game having lost three straight games to fall to 3-4. And it was a bad loss, as they fell to the Commanders 23-21, playing with their backup quarterback. The Packers had been favored by 4 points.

The Packers were completely dominated in time of possession as Washington controlled the ball for 37 minutes to about 23 minutes for Green Bay. And running is supposed to be one of Green Bay's strengths. They were also outgained 364 to 232 and had 6 fewer first downs. Aaron Rodgers was decent 23 for 35 for 194 yards and 2 touchdowns with no picks, but the running game was non-existent. Aaron Jones had 23 yards on 8 carries while AJ Dillon had 15 yards on 4 carries. Jones did catch 9 passes for 53 yards and 2 touchdowns however. Allen Lazard added 6 catches for 55 yards. The Packers rank 23rd in points scored and 14th in points allowed. They are No. 1 against the pass, but 27th against the run.
Green Bay has a long list of injuries, with the biggest one being Rodgers, who is questionable with a thumb injury.
