Week 2: NYG vs Buffalo

Similar to Dallas, the key to stopping Buffalo is getting to quarterback Josh Allen. An extremely physical player that relied on his legs too much in his rookie season; if DC James Bettcher can dial up some solid blitzes, it will force turnovers in coverage. I expect to see DeAndre Baker have his first great game as a Giant here, facing lesser talent at wide receiver.

Baker will likely line up opposite Zay Jones or Robert Foster. However, Buffalo also has a great defense, but Barkley will see the benefits of having an improved offensive front, running for over 100 yards and two scores, one on the ground and one through the air.

Corey Coleman will earn his stripes on a long touchdown, breaking through and setting the tone for the rest of the season.

Score: NYG 28 – Buffalo 17
