Bills vs Patriots Highlights
Many look at Buffalo and talk about the myriad talents of Josh Allen – with good reason, given his playoff performances in 2021 – while looking past their formidable defense. They ranked 1st in points per game allowed and yards per game allowed, which is no mean feat when facing the caliber of opponents they came up against. They will need that defense to be on top form once again when facing the Pats this week. They will no doubt be confident that they can slow Mac Jones down enough to get a win.
The New England Patriots also had a strong defense last season, ranking 2nd in points per game allowed through the season. They allowed an average of 30 points per game against the Bills, though, so they will need to improve in that area if they are to challenge their divisional opponents this week.
These AFC East rivals split the series last season into two lopsided matches in December. The Bills stepped up when it mattered in the postseason by battering the Pats 47-17 in the AFC Wild Card Weekend. Josh Allen was near perfect, throwing 5 touchdowns and a 157.6 rating. Amazingly, Buffalo did not punt all game, showing their offensive dominance.
How will this one go if you’re looking to bet on NFL games in Week 13? Despite Bills vs Patriots usually being one-sided, the caliber of the defenses will make it a close game, with the Bills just edging the win.
