Key Details
Buffalo Bills
After one of their best wins against the Bengals, the Buffalo Bills are looking to ride their momentum against the Patriots at Foxborough. The Bills’ offense, while shaky, has Josh Allen, who is still playing well and could have another strong game with James Cook helping out. Buffalo’s offense has been ranked in the middle tiers, but could still pack a punch against the Patriots. A concern for the Bills is the defense, with injuries plaguing the team of linebackers and interior defenders. Buffalo’s chances are slim, but it could impact the game for bettors on Sunday.Â
New England Patriots
After a couple of years in the NFL basement, the New England Patriots are back in the forefront of the NFL playoff picture. The roster led by Drake Maye, who is emerging as a superstar, has been slinging the ball to emerging receivers. New England’s defense is also showing great improvement from last year, being a top-tier defense with Mike Vrabel coaching them. The Patriots have been improving and could have a strong showing against the Bills in a crucial game for the AFC East.
Prediction
The house in Vegas believes this could be a close game, and it will be for the Patriots’ favor due to their younger roster. New England has been on a hot streak and could deliver another strong game from Maye against a weak Bills defense. While the Buffalo Bills have experience in difficult games, the Patriots’ young roster could outmaneuver them on offense and defense. Bettors should take the Patriots this Sunday due to their roster talent and the fact that they are facing the Bills’ injured defense and taking the cover.
