=14.0ptThe Buffalo Bills (11-3) are coming off their biggest win of the season. They won a high scoring affair against the top team in the league, the Detroit Lions by a final of 48-42. Josh Allen made his case for league MVP by dominating from the start last week. He finished with 362 passing yards and 68 rushing yards while scoring a total of 4 touchdowns (2 rushing). James Cook provided a balance on the ground by rushing for 105 yards and scoring 2 rushing touchdowns of his own. The win marked the Bills’ 8th win in their last 9 games. This week, they face a divisional rival in the New England Patriots at home. The Pats are just 3-11 on the year and have lost 4 straight games. Drake Maye has thrown an interception in 6 straight games and leads an offense that is 2nd to last in the league in scoring (17ppg). The passing game is last in the league, averaging just 173.2 yards per game, which is surprising since they have been throwing the ball for most of their games as they have been trailing in all of them. The only chance they have here on the road is if Buffalo looks past them and is too busy puffing their chest after the big win over the Lions last week.
