The Buffalo Bills hope they can finally get their first ever victory in the ongoing National Football League season when they face the Detroit Lions on November 14.
Playing in-front of its fans, the Bills have a huge chance of beating the Lions despite their woeful 0-8 win-loss record in the 2010 NFL season.
Although they have a lesser record compared to the Lions 2-6 slate, the Bills have a big chance of beating the visiting NFL team since the latter is struggling big-time while playing on the road.
Based on the latest statistics from the NFL, the Lions have loss 24 straight on the road from Sept. 9, 2001-Dec. 21, 2003, have lost three of their four road games this year by eight points or fewer.
The only wins of the Lions this year all came at their own turf.
NFL experts said if the Bills will play hard and execute their game-plan well they can upset the Lions and bring joy to their fans on Sunday.
To win over the Lions, the Bills also need to employ a stone-wall defense and avoid turnovers.
The Bills can also further boost their chances against the Lions if newly acquired linebacker Shawne Merriman can finally debut for the team on Sunday.
If his health permits and Merriman plays for the Bills it would be a huge factor for the home-team against their visitor.
The Lions for its part can avoid an upset if they can play as a team and limit the offence of the Bills.
Lions new starting quarterback Shaun Hill also needs to have an A-game if the team wish to defeat the Bills for the ninth time in this NFL season.
Hill earlier became the Lions starting quarterback after original starter Matthew Stafford suffered a shoulder injury in a 23-20 overtime loss to the New York Jets last Sunday.
Experts said Hill can have a dominating performance in the game, the Lions can defeat the Bills again, since their first meeting in 2006 where the Lions won 20-17.
It was learned that in six games in the 2010 NFL season, Hill has thrown for 1,309 yards, nine touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing 61.1 percent of his passes.
