Patriots vs. Bills 

This game will be much more competitive than most would have thought at the beginning of the season.  The Patriots aren’t as good as most thought they would be and the Bills are a little bit better.  The Patriots are coming off of a blow out win over the Bengals in week 2 and the Bills a road win over the Lions.

Although the Patriots blew off some steam in their victory last week I don’t think their problems are over.  However, I do think they are re-focused on the task at hand and that’s winning the AFC East.  The Bills are a force to be reckoned with and they have a new owner so they’ll be hyped up for him.

The Patriots are favored but this is just the kind of game the Patriots like to use to convince themselves that no one expects much from them.  That’s why I think they’ll rain on the Bills parade and get the close division win on the road.         NFL Picks
