The Patriots: On a winning run
The Patriots have a recent track record of being at the helm of AFC East, winning all but three titles from 2001 through last year. But the Bills are the reigning division champions, and will have the Bills Mafia passionately cheering them on at home.
New England is coming from a six-game winning streak, and rookie quarterback Mac Jones has been delivering the goods for the team.
The Patriots’ offense is ranked seventh in the league, delivering 28 points each game. They also have a rock-solid defense, only allowing a league-low 15.8 points per game.

The high-scoring Bills
Bills quarterback Josh Allen is more experienced than Jones and leads the team’s strong passing game. However, the 25-year-old has had several interceptions in three of his last four games, and Buffalo lost two of those contests.
The team’s offense has been formidable, churning out 29.6 points per game. The Bills, like the Patriots, also boast great defense, allowing only 1,964 yards through the air in its games.
The high-level defense of both teams could spell low scores in a tightly-contested matchup.
