New Orleans Saints vs Buffalo Bills 2025 Week 4 Preview

Caleb Yaccarino • September 27, 2025

The losing streak is up to three games, and after last week's horrible loss to the Seahawks, the Saints aim to bounce back in Week 4. Only issue is their opponent... the Buffalo Bills.


What the Bills bring to the table

Entering this game 3-0, the Bills are one of, if not the best, team in the NFL. A Super Bowl is more of an expectation than a hope with this team, with star QB Josh Allen leading the team. There is not much a team can do against the Bills high-power offense, and that's primarly due to Allen's ability to dominate. If you play off, he will pick apart the defense; if you send pressure, he will avoid it and make the play; and if you cover everything, he will beat you on the run. The Bills rushing attack is also excellent, with James Cook having a great year so far. On defense, the Bills pass rush has been decent so far, and the run defense could be exposed at times. The pass defense has also struggled this year, and could be another issue going into the game.


How about the Saints?

Yeah, this could be a tough one. The Saints have had some good moments throughout the season so far, but last week was horrible, and could be a sign for things to come in this game. This defense is not ready to compete in the NFL, and teams will be able to pick them apart. The pass rush has been underwhelming, and the pass defense has been horrible. This is a recipe for Josh Allen to do anything he wants against the Saints. On offense, QB Spencer Rattler has been decent and could win games, the rushing attack has looked strong, and when healthy, the offensive line is good. The issue is consistency with this group and penalties. Special teams also need to be much better, and if kicker Blake Grupe misses another makeable kick, I'm not sure he will be on the team after this game.


Injury Report

  • EDGE Chase Young - OUT
  • WR Devaughn Vele - Questionable
  • G Dillon Radunz - OUT

My Prediction

I love being optimistic going into each game, but there is zero chance I can feel comfortable about the Saints against the Bills. I can almost guarantee this game results in a Saints loss, and I have the final score at 38-14, with the Bills dominating for most of the game.

Team Stats (Pelicans @ Cavaliers) Final Score: 100-128 Rebounds: 40-52 Assists: 23-29 Blocks: 3-9 Steals: 9-10 Turnovers: 11-11 Stat Leaders (Pelicans/Cavaliers) Scoring Leaders: Antonio Reeves, 34; Ty Jerome, 29 Rebound Leaders: Yves Missi, 8; Jaylon Tyson, 11 Assist Leaders: Elfrid Payton, 8; Jaylon Tyson, Craig Porter Jr., 7 My Player of the Game: Antonio Reeves Takeaways If you didn't know who Austin Reeves was before this game, well you should now. The rookie scored 34 points against the best team in the NBA right now. The Pels were without Brandon Ingram, Trey Murphy III, Dejounte Murray, CJ McCollum, Herb Jones, Jose Alvarado, and Zion Williamson in this game. So there's that. BI and Trey Murphy will hopefully be available for Friday's home game against the Warriors, and it's got to be close to time for McCollum and Jones to be coming back as well. New Orleans is 4-12 on the season, and are the second to last team in the Western Conference standings. It can only get better from here.

Team Stats (Mavericks @ Pelicans) Final Score: 113-119 Rebounds: 57-51 Assists: 29-28 Blocks: 4-9 Steals: 9-9 Turnovers: 16-12 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Anthony Davis, 35; Zion Williamson, 24 Rebound Leaders: Anthony Davis, 17; Derik Queen, 10 Assist Leaders: Ryan Nembhard, 8; Derik Queen, 6 My Player of the Game: Zion Williamson Chrissy's Key Takeaways * This is the first five-game win streak for the New Orleans Pelicans since 2023. * James Borrego has turned this team around, not only offensively but they are so much better defensively. * This is the fourth game in a row that Zion is coming off the bench and it is making the Pelicans into an insanely deep team. Z says he trusts Borrego and is fine with the role. * DQ is getting better every game, and as a rookie, it's beautiful to see. * The Pelicans play again on Tuesday against the Cavaliers on the road.
