On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran provides a Buffalo Bills vs Tampa Bay Bucs preview, including keys to a Buffalo victory, five bold predictions for this game and why this is must-win for the Bills in some ways.

The Bills are 6-3 and sitting in very decent shape, record-wise. However, if they want to realistically have a shot at the No. 1 seed in the AFC or even more importantly, stay right in the race for a sixth straight divisional title, they absolutely can't afford to drop this game to the Bucs or any home game remaining for that matter. Patrick highlights four players where the pressure to win this game and start playing better is turned up the most.

He also takes a look at a very talented and battle tested Tampa team that comes to Highmark Stadium with a lot of confidence, fueled by quarterback Baker Mayfield, who right now is very much in the mix for 2025 NFL MVP.

From there Patrick lays out three keys to a Buffalo win on Sunday, including pressuring Baker Mayfield, finding a way to stop the deep ball he loves throwing and making the Buffalo offense more of a threat in the passing game themselves. That plus five bold predictions for the game, will Patrick actually pick against the Bills and much more.
