It’s the dress rehearsal for the 2021 NFL season as the Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills will meet in the third and final installment of the preseason on Saturday.
Both clubs are taking very different approaches to this abbreviated tune-up as the Bills will start Josh Allen and play the majority of their starters, while the Packers will sit Aaron Rodgers and most of the team’s No. 1’s.
Due to these very different game plans, the Bills come into Saturday’s home match as an unheard-of 9.5-point preseason favorite after opening at -4 and blowing past the 7 and the 9. The total has been less volatile but did jump two points to 36.5 after the Bills announced that Allen would start.
