PATRIOTS VS. BILLS
New England Patriots: The difference is the matchup on the interior, where the Bills get Marcell Dareus back from suspension to pair with Kyle Williams and the Patriots might play with three rookies along the interior offensive line at different points in the game. Five of the last six meetings between Bill Belichick- and Rex Ryan-coached teams have been decided by three points or fewer, so I'm expecting a close one. Bills 17, Patriots 16 -- Mike Reiss
Buffalo Bills: From the time the NFL released its schedule in April, I've considered this a game the Bills can and should win. It won't be because Brady will struggle on the road; he's actually been better against the Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium (72.6 QBR since 2010) than at Gillette Stadium (67.2 QBR since 2010). Instead, Ryan will be the difference. Brady had a 46.7 QBR in road games against Ryan-coached New York Jets defenses from 2009-2014. Bills 24, Patriots 21. -- Mike Rodak

Prediction. "I like the Patriots 27-24, with players who wouldn't be considered the usual stars rising up to lead the way."
