The struggling Buffalo Bills aims to end their win drought when they host the Detroit Lions in the ongoing National Football League season on November 14.
The Bills are feeling good of its chances against the Lions despite their 0-8 win loss record since the latter is playing bad on the road.
Did we say playing bad? It is an understatement actualy since the Lions are playing really terrible on the road this year losing their past six road games.
The Lions have dropped 24 straight on the road from Sept. 9, 2001-Dec. 21, 2003, have lost three of their four road games this year by eight points or fewer.
If the Bills can have an A-game on Sunday they have a huge chance of beating the visiting Lions.
The Bills need need to employ tough defense and limit their turnovers if it wish to defeat the Lions.
The home-team can further increase their chances of beating the Lions if newly acquired linebacker Shawne Merriman can make debut on Sunday.
If Merriman plays the odds that the Bills will win their game will further increase against the Lions.
The Lions can finally end their road games problems if the team will play as a team against the Bills.
Lions new starting quarterback Shaun Hill who recenty replace Matthew Stafford to that position need to play 101 percent to give victory to the team.
Hill became the team’s starting quarterback after Stafford suffered a shoulder injury in a 23-20 overtime loss to the New York Jets last Sunday.
NFL experts said if Hill will have a huge game the Lions can defeat the Bills again, since their first meeting in 2006 wher the Lions won 20-17.
In six games, Hill has thrown for 1,309 yards, nine touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing 61.1 percent of his passes.
