Prediction:
The playoffs begin now for the Bills who really need this game not only to keep pace in the playoff Wildcard hunt but in their psyche. They have to know they can beat New England on their home turf and not just Week 17 when the Pats are resting their starters. The pressure is on…
It was evident by the meltdown Ryan had in his Thursday conference call with the Boston media. Asked a legitimate question about his obsession with NE, Ryan exploded and came off worse the longer he spoke. He had to know that he’d be asked that since he’s spoken about the Patriots three times this season on weeks where they weren’t even playing them.
The Patriots will have to go thru the adjustment period of not having Edelman in the offense. He is a big loss especially on third down and in the red zone. Brady picked apart the Bills in the opener with Lewis and Edelman but he still has Gronk and LaFell to go along with Amendola and Aaron Dobson who also had a big game Week 2.
The Bills like to run out of the gun and with a healthy McCoy and Williams; they’ll put pressure on the Patriots defense. This one will be closer but in the end, the Patriots at home are very tough to beat. Brady is lifetime 24-3 against the Bills and he’ll get it done on the Monday night stage. Patriots 27-24
