History
The Eagles and Bills have faced each other 13 times in their history. The Eagles lead the series 7-6. The last time they faced each other was in 2015, with the Eagles winning 23-20.
Predictions
In the last game versus the Bills, Darren Sproles was the leading rusher with 41 yards. The Eagles will need better production from the rushing attack if they want a chance to win. I believe that Doug Pederson will turn to his rushing attack more this game to set up the play action, instead of drop backs that immediately show the deep passing game plan. But look for the Eagles run through a rain soaked field to a hard fought win 20-13.
