Re: Buffalo game flexed to prime time

My initial reaction was "Looks like the NFL wants to make it as tough as possible for the Pats to go 16-0". No matter who the opponent, night games on the road are naturally tougher - the crowd gets louder, the home team is pumped up, plus it throws the Pats off their routine for the next game. Also factor in that we're coming off a bye and there will be some rust to shake off. The Bills will be a confident bunch at 5-4 (Miami? please) and will play a "spirited" game.
Obviously the league is hoping that the viewing public is unfamiliar with the fact that the Bills are our *****es and we routinely beat them by double-digits in their own house.
