Vikings-Bills Week 3 Preview | Baldy's Breakdowns (2:55)

NFL Network's Brian Baldinger takes a closer look at the Week 3 matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings.

 

NFL Expert Picks: Vikings Return Home to Host the Bills

 

The Vikings are back at U.S. Bank Stadium during Week 3.

 

Minnesota takes on the Buffalo Bills (0-2) who have lost their first two games by double digits.

 

Buffalo lost 47-3 during Week 1 in Baltimore against the Ravens and surrendered a 31-20 defeat at home against the Los Angeles Chargers during Week 2.

 

Rookie quarterback Josh Allen will start his second career game on Sunday after a debut where he threw for 245 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions against the Bolts.

 

Let’s see what is expected from the Vikings in their Week 3 matchup:

 

1 p.m. ET (CBS) | U.S. Bank Stadium (Minneapolis)

 

This just looks ugly on paper. And it probably will on the field, too. Who knows, maybe the _Bills_ will force two quick turnovers, one being a scoop-and-score, and go up 13-0 or 17-0. Or maybe (probably) Josh Allen's protection will break down in 2.3 seconds, and the Buffalo rookie will get sacked five times and hit a dozen others. Here's what I know: This is an awful matchup for a Bills team that has offensive line woes. If Buffalo can't establish the run again (83 yards in Week 1, 84 in Week 2), they're done. Look for Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer to play the long game, allowing the better roster to prevail without taking unnecessary risks offensively. Essentially, he won't give a turnover-starved defense any freebies.
