Lions hand Vikings first loss, Russell Wilson cooks in Steelers debut

Sports Seriously
The Seattle Seahawks are in for a tough one as they face the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. The Bills got their first taste of Amari Cooper in Week 7, but the star receiver will look to expand his role this weekend against a solid Seattle secondary.
Seattle is coming off an enormous win over a hot Atlanta Falcons team, but the Bills are hot in their own right, having won two straight with their most recent loss coming in a hard-fought defeat at the hands of the Houston Texans.
Here are our experts’ predictions for this Week 8 showdown.

Buffalo will continue to incorporate Amari Cooper into the offense, and the Bills should see increased overall production, even in the running game. Seattle showed in its win over the Falcons that it can compete with most teams in the league; the Seahawks still need to overcome some inconsistent stretches on offense. Buffalo is the stronger roster.
Amari Cooper’s addition is going to work wonders for Buffalo. Cooper had a touchdown in his Bills debut. His chemistry with Josh Allen is just going to keep improving. All of Buffalo’s wins have come against teams with losing records. A road win against the Seahawks would be Buffalo’s best victory yet.
Buffalo is rolling with the addition of Amari Cooper and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. I like the Bills and the points here.
This one has the potential to be a shootout with Seattle having the top passing offense in the league. Buffalo may be caught by surprise, but they stay perfect at home with a victory.
