Week 12 Thursday Night Football Result Prediction

Buffalo has been playing quite well this season, led from the front by the reigning MVP, Josh Allen. The Bills are coming off an impressive 44-32 win over the Buccaneers in which Allen had 3 passing and 3 rushing touchdowns. Their defense has been sloppy at times, but the offense has managed to overcome the weakness in the majority of the games.

As for the Texans, the season got off to a horrible start. They have managed to get to .500, but the team is facing key injuries on offense. The defense has been the strength of the team this season, but to win games, you need to score points against top teams.
