New England Patriots (-3) at Buffalo Bills
What a difference one week makes. After their crushing defeat in Kansas City, the Patriots were treated as if they had suddenly lost every shred of talent and would never again win another football game. Apparently, Cincinnati must have bought into this nonsense as well.
While the Patriots suffered their share of criticism, few teams received less respect than the Buffalo Bills after their 2-0 start. As documented many times in this column, the Bills are notorious for hot starts that sizzle by season’s end. Included in these hot starts are typically impressive wins, such as Sunday’s victory in Detroit. New England, however, is known to win games in October.
The Patriots win big on Sunday in Buffalo, beating the Bills by two touchdowns, covering the spread, and making all rumblings of a sudden collapse a distant memory.
