How we see it: News reporters predict Bills vs. Lions on Thanksgiving Day
‘I think the Lions are trending the right way long term, but I think the Bills win the third Thanksgiving game they’ve played in four years. After a stretch of play below his own standards, Josh Allen should be closer to usual form, and I think he’ll put on a show for the early crowd. Bills, 31-23.’
View from Vegas: Bills should feast on Lions
‘The problem this time, though, is Detroit is 4-22 SU in its last 26 roles as a home underdog – but 6-0-1 ATS in its last seven contests. Digging deeper – like going back for more pumpkin pie and whipped cream – the well-oiled machine chips in with this nugget, noting that favorites of more than seven points in Gobbler’s Day are 18-2 SU and 16-4 when facing .500 or fewer opponents, including 11-0 SUATS when coming off a non-division battle.’
Bills Mailbag: When will Nyheim Hines play a bigger role in the offense?
‘You’re not alone in wanting to see more of Hines on offense, Gerry. Given the short week leading into this game, I’m not sure it will happen against the Lions, but I would expect him to play a larger role on offense in the weeks ahead.’
Erik Brady: Bills playing on Thanksgiving again? That's gravy
‘So, add it all up and the Bills are 5-4-1 on Thanksgiving. Now they have a chance for their first three-game Turkey Day unbeaten streak since the glory days of the mid-1960s. And that would be gravy.’

Bills’ Von Miller won’t spill tea, but he’s not worried about OBJ’s visits to Giants & Cowboys
‘“You know, he said he was going to sign in the beginning of December,” Miller said. “You guys just have to wait and see. I don’t want to spill no tea or nothing like that. Let him go see the Cowboys. Let him go see the Giants, but wait until he sees the Bills Mafia and what we’re doing here in Buffalo, man. I think he’s going to be blown away.”’

‘Dorsey’s job may get tougher if starting center Mitch Morse, who suffered an ankle injury against the Browns and is listed as questionable on the injury report, isn’t able to play. Starting right guard Ryan Bates said that the plan is for him to move over to center in place of Morse if he can’t go. Greg Van Roten started against the Miami Dolphins earlier in the season in place of Morse, but Bates said he’s comfortable at guard.’

Lions tasked with stopping rebound game for Bills' Stefon Diggs
‘In an extra fun twist, the Lions are catching Diggs after his worst game of the season. He was limited to a season-low 48 yards and was visibly frustrated on the sideline while being held without a target until hauling in a 5-yard touchdown on the Bills’ final offensive play of the first half.’

Josh Allen is slumping, and there might be an overlooked explanation
‘All of that has several people in the league’s coaching and management ranks suggesting the absence of Allen’s longtime coordinator and play caller, Daboll, is a significant factor in the origins of this malaise — or at least in its continuation. Daboll had an uncanny ability to read the quarterback and his body language and sense when he was falling back into bad habits and trying to do too much. Daboll knew how to rein him in and keep Allen from forcing things — a process that began when the quarterback was a turnover-prone rookie.’
Back At Ford Field, Bills Face Surging Lions
‘“These short weeks are pretty tough in terms of scheduling and guys trying to get their bodies right to play, but it’s tough for them as well,” quarterback Josh Allen said.’

‘Key Matchup: Buffalo’s running game against Detroit’s defense. Bills RB Devin Singletary ran for a season-high 86 yards, the same total rookie RB James Cook had for his best game on the ground in the win over Cleveland. That production took pressure off QB Josh Allen. The Lions have been shaky against the run, but they did limit Giants RB Saquon Barkley to a season-low 22 yards on 15 carries.’
