Start time of Sunday night’s contest is set for 8:20pm ET at Highmark Stadium. The game time weather forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with temperatures hovering in the low 50s Fahrenheit.
Packers vs Bills Recent History
Sunday night’s matchup marks the first meeting between these teams since 2018, and the Packers’ first visit to Western New York in eight years.
These teams have taken turns posting wins in eight clashes since 1991. The total has reached 40 just once during a 5-0 run for the UNDER.
That has been fueled by some dismal road performances by the Bills, who have scored just seven total points over three trips to Lambeau Field but have averaged 25.8 points in their past five tilts on home turf.
"We got our a***s kicked. Plain and simple."

While Sunday’s clash will be the first-ever primetime meeting between these teams, both the Bills and Packers enjoy plenty of recent experience playing under the lights.
The Bills turned in dominating performances in primetime routs of Tennessee and the Los Angeles Rams earlier this season, and have now won eight of 11 night games since 2019.
The Packers are now unbeaten in 13 primetime appearances after topping Chicago 27-10 in Week 2, and also sport a 7-1 SU record in their past eight road games under the lights.
Green Bay Packers Betting Outlook
It is tough to take away a lot of positives from Green Bay’s loss to the Commodores last weekend. The Packers opened the scoring late in the first quarter with the first of two scoring catches by Aaron Jones but were otherwise ineffective at moving the ball.
The Packers racked up just 232 total yards and 16 first downs to further deepen existing concerns about this team’s attack.

While Aaron Rodgers has 11 touchdown passes over the past six games, and avoided the pick in the past three, he must contend with an injury-ravaged receiver corps.
Among the downfield walking wounded are Allen Lazard, who is confirmed out with a shoulder injury, while both Sammy Watkins and Christian Watson have both been limited by hamstring injuries.

Rodgers is also dealing with a thumb injury that has limited him at practice this week, but has been cleared from the injury report, and is expected to be under center on Sunday night.
Buffalo Bills Betting Outlook
Josh Allen earned some downtime during the Bills’ bye week after turning in another epic performance in the team’s Week 6 victory over the Chiefs.
The Bills pivot made use of all his downfield assets while piling up 329 passing yards and connecting on three scoring tosses. Allen has been equally impressive in Buffalo’s two home dates, tossing for four scores each in crushing wins over Pittsburgh and Tennessee.

Stefon Diggs has emerged as Allen’s favorite target. The 28-year-old matched a season-high last week with 148 receiving yards and has made scoring catches in each of his past two outings to bring his season total to six.
Allen also bolsters the Bills’ ground game, leading the squad with 257 rushing yards and two scores.

Not to be overlooked is the stingy Bills defense that has surrendered a league-low 13.5 points per game through six outings.
They have also surrendered just 10 total points in their two home wins this season, and just 9.8 points per game during an impressive 5-0 SU run in regular season play.
Green Bay Packers vs Buffalo Bills Prediction
With Aaron Rodgers playing through a thumb injury, and with limited options in both his backfield and among his receiving corps, the Packers will face an uphill battle to keep things close.
Weather permitting, the question is not whether the Bills will win, but by how much.
