OUR PREDICTIONS

TOM SILVERSTEIN

If it rains, the Packers are going to be presented with the same ball-handling challenges they had a week ago. If they handle them the same way, they’re going to lose to the Bills. The fact Aaron Rodgers practiced Thursday matters. There’s a pretty good chance the timing of the offense and Rodgers’ accuracy will be better than last week. Expect Buffalo’s defense to put up a fight. Packers 31, Bills 23

PETE DOUGHERTY

It’s hard to see Buffalo pulling off back-to-back road upsets with a rookie quarterback (Josh Allen), especially against a Packers team looking to exonerate itself after the egg it laid in Washington last Sunday. The guess here is that gimpy Aaron Rodgers has a decent game, and Allen turns the ball over a couple times. Packers 24, Bills 17

RYAN WOOD

This game looks much different than it did in April. No longer can the Packers afford to look at this as a gimme, not after the Bills spanked the Vikings in Minnesota last week. And not after the Packers showed plenty of their own vulnerability in Washington. This will be closer than expected, but in a matchup between Aaron Rodgers and a rookie quarterback inside Lambeau Field, the safe bet is on the Packers. Packers 27, Bills 20

JIM OWCZARSKI

The disappointing performance in Washington coupled with seeing Buffalo upset Minnesota should have Green Bay getting right mentally this week. Physically, that’s another question. But this should be a “get well” game for the Packers’ defense at home against a rookie quarterback. Packers 24, Bills 13

STU COURTNEY

The Bills were 161⁄2-point underdogs last Sunday before stunning the host Vikings, 27-6. They’re still getting no respect from oddsmakers, who favor the Packers by 91⁄2. Buffalo made the playoffs last season, has a stout defense and expects to have running back LeSean McCoy back for this game. Expect a close one. Packers 30, Bills 24
