Bills vs Chargers prediction, keys to NFL Week 3 game

Key Points:

• The Buffalo Bills' defense has allowed 62 points in the first two games but remains undefeated at 2-0 due to the offense scoring 77 points in those wins, highlighting a need for defensive improvement under coordinator Jim Leonhard.
• The Bills' pass defense ranks poorly, allowing 273 yards per game and generating low quarterback pressure, while their run defense has improved from last season; players acknowledge the challenge of executing a new defensive system.
• The upcoming game against the 0-2 Los Angeles Chargers features a key quarterback matchup between Josh Allen, who is performing at a high level, and Justin Herbert, who has struggled recently but remains a threat.
• Key players to watch include Bills LT Dion Dawkins, WR Joshua Palmer, and DT Ed Oliver on defense, while the Chargers will rely on RB Omarion Hampton, WR Ladd McConkey, and DT Teair Tart despite injuries affecting their offensive line and tight ends.
• The game is expected to be competitive with the Chargers motivated to avoid a 0-3 start, but the Bills are favored to win 30-21, leveraging their strong offense and the Chargers' current offensive struggles.
