Patriots RBs vs Bills Front Seven – Razor’s Edge Buffalo
The Patriots get back LaGarrette Blount this week, which will definitely help the team, long term as the big back in the offense to go along with the three change of pace backs. Buffalo’s defense, especially the front four is very good at stopping the run and going against a very young Patriots offensive line that didn’t excel in the running game last week.

Look for Blount to get some carries along with some quick hitters by Dion Lewis to keep the defense honest and get them to respect play action. But they won’t have a lot of room to run this week.
Patriots WRs vs Bills Secondary – Razor’s Edge Patriots
The Patriots key here as always is protecting Tom Brady; when the offensive line does a good job of protecting Brady, generally very good things happen in the offense. Rex Ryan has traditionally done a good job of slowing down the NE offense with his aggressive schemes and with the aforementioned pass rush with the front four it will be a difficult task this week.
Look for a big matchup between Julian Edelman and Stephon Gilmore; in beating the pressure it will be Edelman’s job to beat the jam at the line and get the ball for yards after catch. New England’s two tight end offense with Rob Gronkowski and Scott Chandler will be a tough one to stop for the Bills LBs.
