5. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen will be starting in just his third game. Allen has questions about his accuracy and this is a game for safety play. Allen has a strong arm and will look to push the ball downfield when given a chance.

Over throws and off-target passes could be plentiful in this game. Clinton-Dix being in the right place should allow him to walk away with the opportunity for big plays.

If the Packers can get an early lead, it would force the Bills to scrap a conservative game plan and put Allen in a position to throw a lot. This will give Clinton-Dix a chance at more than a few interceptions.

The safeties of the Packers have been criticized often this season. And with good reason.

Kentrell Brice has given up long pass plays in back-to-back weeks and Clinton-Dix has been out of position too often. Despite having the defense’s only two interceptions of the season, Clinton-Dix still has not played at a Pro Bowl level.

A game against a young quarterback could be the confidence builder he needs. Allen will give the Packers defense chances to make a play, it will be up to the guys on defense to make them.
