Football fans, Week 8 is here—and it looks like rain might be calling the shots in the Bills vs. Seahawks clash. Yep, if you’re heading to Lumen Field, brace yourself, because the Seattle skies are planning to join the game.

Forecasts are calling for a full house of rain, with gusty winds around 16 mph, maybe even hitting 20 mph. Expect a “definite” chance of rain showers, and temperatures hanging around 49°F.

With gusts like these, it’s almost as if the Seattle weather wants in on the action, adding a wild-card element to the passing game. If you’re rooting for Josh Allen to make those deep throws—as you should, because Allen’s QBR sits at the top of the NFL—you might need to cross your fingers for some rain magic.

It may feel like an added advantage for the Seahawks, especially with their history against the Bills. And, on top of that, those who know Lumen Field will tell you: the home team knows how to play in the mud.

But rain or shine, this matchup would be a go. However, it’d be interesting to look forward to the Allen-Geno Smith battle. And boy, it promises to keep us on our toes.

Bills vs. Seahawks: A thriller or a dull one?

Sure, the wet Seattle conditions might mess with certain plays. But when both teams are riding like they have been this season, you don’t worry about the forecast. You expect the game to be a thriller. And that’s what the Bills vs. Seahawks promises to be.

Historically, Seattle has a slight edge over Buffalo, holding a 3-2 record in their last five showdowns. Even so, Buffalo has scored a whopping 134 points in those games, with Seattle not far behind at 123. But that’s not even part of the problem for Josh Allen and Co.

Rather it’s the Seahawks’ “12th man” advantage. Uhm, yeah, the fans. They are renowned in the league for cranking up the noise, and will probably make things even trickier for the Bills offense. So yeah, expect some serious back-and-forth action on Sunday. So, about that “thriller or a dud” question for the Bills vs. Seahawks game—well, it looks like a sure-fire thriller!

Now, on to the battle within the war, here. It’s Josh Allen v Geno Smith. And if we go by the recency bias, then Allen’s been in top form, especially during the wins against the Jets and Titans. Man has recorded NO interception in 7 games so far. Throwing over 1400 YDS for 12 TDS. That’s a man on a mission for you, right there.

On the flip side, Geno Smith has been on fire since he took over in 2022. With an NFL-best 283.6 passing yards per game, Smith’s making his case for a third straight Pro Bowl. Former NFL cornerback Richard Sherman put it best: “They never give Geno enough credit… he looks like a surgeon when kept clean.”

So, buckle up, because the Bills vs. Seahawks showdown is shaping up to be anything but a snooze.
