    The Philadelphia Eagles may be on a short week following a 21-17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night, but there's plenty of reasons to like the Birds on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.

    Philadelphia has won its last four games and is 9-1 on the season. The team's win over the Chiefs was impressive, and the Bills are nowhere close to where Kansas City is in terms of performance.

    After entering the year with high expectations, the Bills have been mediocre and sit second in the AFC East with a 6-5 record with losses coming to the likes of the 2-8 New England Patriots and the 4-6 New York Jets.

    Additionally, star quarterback Josh Allen has been anything but a star. The 27-year-old has completed 69.6 percent of his passes for 2,875 yards and 22 touchdowns, but he is also tied with Washington Commanders signal-caller Sam Howell for the league lead in interceptions with 12 picks.

    Allen has tossed at least one interception in each of his last seven games and has thrown at least one pick in nine of 11 games this year. He can't afford to turn the ball over this weekend with Jalen Hurts leading the offense on the other side.

    Hurts could end up having a field day on a banged up Buffalo defense that will be without Tre'Davious White and Taylor Rapp due to injuries.

    Hurts also has no shortage of options on offense with reliable pass-catchers in A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith to go along with a backfield that includes D'Andre Swift and Kennth Gainwell.

    With the Bills allowing 204.2 passing yards and 110.5 rushing yards per game, the Eagles should do some damage.
