As with the Baltimore Ravens vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers matchup on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week 8, many NFL fans and bettors would have been circling this week's upcoming Sunday Night Football showdown between the Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills as one of the more important games of the season.
And as with the Ravens vs. Bucs game, Sunday's Packers vs. Bills duel will certainly be important but not for the same reasons most would have initially expected.
While Buffalo will return from its bye at 5-1 following a huge road win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay will make the trip to New York at 3-4 and mired in a three-game losing streak.
After losing to the New York Giants in London and the New York Jets at home, the Packers went down to the Washington Commanders 23-21 at FedEx Field on Sunday.
