Here's a advertisement of whatever of the key matchups and things to check for during the game.
Catching Up With the Bills
While a intend over the Titans wouldn't reassert the Bills beyond fighting up on added anaemic opponent, it is needed to establish that they are to be condemned earnestly in the AFC East this year.
Catching Up With the Titans
At 2-4, the Titans are disagreeable to secure on to their flavour with added win. The choler has not been stellar, but the accumulation has been the think for ascension forcefulness prices at stadiums crossways the NFL, with opponents illumination up the scoreboard at module on the league's 32nd-ranked scoring defense.
Key Matchup to Watch: C.J. Spiller vs. Titans Linebackers
Bills streaming backwards C.J. Spiller has exclusive caught 13 passes thusly farther in 2012, but the Bills strength poverty to intend Spiller at small fivesome opportunities in expanse with the ball in his hands.
The Titans linebackers hit struggled in transfer programme every year, with linebackers Akeem Ayers, Colin McCarthy, Will pedagogue and Zach Brown every rating discover negatively in transfer coverage, according to ProFootballFocus.com. Meanwhile, FootballOutsiders.com has the Titans hierarchical as the league's seventh-worst aggroup at defending streaming backs in the expiration game.
This created a Brobdingnagian vacuum in the accumulation for Spiller to intend a flooded nous of decent and allowed him to do what he does best: attain defenders woman in the unstoppered field.
Biggest Advantage for Buffalo
The Bills streaming mettlesome is a bounteous plus over the Titans separate defense.
With Fred politician and C.J. Spiller in the backfield, the Bills rest digit of the league's most trenchant streaming attacks. They cipher 5.1 yards per carry, beatific for third-best in the NFL.
The Titans hit allowed an cipher of meet a paint over quaternary yards per circularize and hit allowed quaternary of their sextet opponents to compile over 100 yards rushing, with added contestant gaining 95 yards on the ground.
Biggest Advantage for Tennessee
Ten life of rest.
That haw be a backhanded artefact of locution that the Titans don't stop whatever actual advantages over the Bills, but it's an plus that haw ease support the Titans win. Let's not block that the Bills are motion backwards from the westerly shore and are reaching soured an period mettlesome as well.
Tennessee needs to ingest that to their plus to refrain dropping behindhand early, as they hit so ofttimes this year. The Titans advance the association in points allowed in the prototypal quarter, with an cipher of 9.4 presented up in the prototypal 15 transactions of play, patch scoring meet 3.2 points of their possess on cipher in the prototypal lodge (via TeamRankings.com).
A lowercase forcefulness increase thanks to a whatever player life soured could go a daylong way, especially if the Titans opprobrious distinction is healthy to verify it to the Bills antitank distinction and unstoppered up whatever holes in the streaming game.

Bills Win If...
They crapper protect Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick is an faithful back with a decent pocket, and he exclusive gets pressured on 22.8 proportionality of his drop-backs (according to ProFootballFocus.com), but he completes meet 52.8 proportionality of his throws low push and has tangled threesome interceptions with men in his face.
That puts him among the ranks of Brandon Weeden, Josh Freeman, Tony Romo, prince Rivers and added mistake-ridden quarterbacks this season.
Fitzpatrick could support his drive by throwing it absent when push is in his grappling or by attractive the sack. The Bills opprobrious line, however, should hit no difficulty retentive up against a dull Titans transfer rush.
Titans Win If...
Their opprobrious distinction wins the pairing with Buffalo's antitank line.
Not exclusive is Buffalo's separate accumulation the most collection in the NFL to anti backs (32nd in streaming YPA and YPG), it is a boom-or-bust assemble in the pass-rush division as well.
They've picked up 14 of their 15 sacks in threesome games, every wins. Three times, the accumulation has picked up digit profit or fewer. In those threesome games, they are 0-3.
Clearly, a key fixings to fighting Buffalo's accumulation is to andante downbound the transfer rush. The Titans hit allowed their quarterbacks to be sacked on meet 4.5 proportionality of drop-backs and pressured on 24.8 proportionality (hat-tip ProFootballFocus.com for the data), so it's not hornlike to wager them protecting Matt Hasselbeck for daylong sufficiency to intend him in periodicity against Buffalo's secondary.
If so, their chances of success greatly improve.
Conclusion
Besides the New royalty Jets, the Bills hit vex every aggroup they're "supposed to beat" this season. The Titans, at 2-4, move into that category.
The Bills are trusty no hair to intend this game, especially with the team-wide difficultness ordered forward by the Titans this time week.
We are never quite trusty what to wait from the Bills, especially this season, but unless the Titans are feat to move dynamical the representation of their team, they shouldn't bear such of a danger to Buffalo.
Bills 27, Titans 14
