Buffalo Bills

Patriots

Hot off a Monday Night Football matchup in Ohio, NFL Week 18 sees the Buffalo Bills return home for their final game of the 2022-2023 regular NFL season, and what a season it has been! As we play through this finale, there will be plenty to consider, and while some teams might not be playing for anything other than pride, those choosing to bet on NFL games can still play for financial rewards! We will break down how this game has gone in the past and predict what will happen this time around.

What better way to finish the regular season than with a divisional game against an opponent that stole the limelight for so many years? The Bills will be keen to capitalize on a rich vein of form against the Patriots in recent years, winning 4 of their last 5 against this week’s visitors, including the 2021 AFC Wild Card game that saw Josh Allen lodge a passer rating of 157.6 and throw for 5 touchdowns as the Bills demolished their visitors on home soil. So go ahead and get your foot in the door, and place the best NFL bets today.

Bill Belichick is used to being on the other side of a post-season demolition but is yet to find the right man to replace Tom Brady after his departure to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Many of the Patriots’ 77-47 series victories came as a result of Brady’s ability to perform under pressure, but with only one win against this week’s opponents since his departure, the tables seem to have turned on this AFC East rivalry. Let’s remember, though, that the New England Patriots also had a strong defense last season, ranking 2nd in points per game allowed through the season, and that these current AFC East rivals split the series last season into two lopsided matches in December.

If Josh Allen is still on the active roster, expect a home win and for New England Patriots vs Buffalo Bills to provide all the entertainment of last season’s postseason encounter. You will undoubtedly find that the NFL betting odds reflect that as well. But, hey, remember to read up on NFL football scores!
