No need to beat around the bush — the Patriots are 27-3 SU and 18-10-2 ATS vs the Bills since 2001. This matchup has been about as one-sided as it gets and it’s not even close as only six of those 27 New England wins were decided by less than a TD. To pile on Buffalo even more, going all the way back to 1995, they’re just 3-18 SU on the road in New England.
- In the last four games that LeGarrette Blount received 22 or more touches, he’s averaged 106.7 rush yards with at least 1 TD.
- The Patriots are 4-0 ATS in their last four games at home.
- The Bills are 2-12-1 ATS in their last 15 games after winning as an underdog.
The big question this week will be who’s taking snaps for the Patriots with Jacoby Brissett banging up his thumb and Jimmy Garoppolo still recovering from a shoulder injury. Brissett practised early in the week, making him the likely starter. Either way, the Patriots are likely to pound the ball and add to their league-leading 452 rushing yards. The Bills have already allowed five rushing TDs — the third-most in the NFL this season.
One of Buffalo’s biggest issues the past few seasons has been their inability to string together wins. They had a big upset win over the Cardinals last week, but are 8-25 SU in their last 33 games after a win and haven’t won in consecutive weeks as an underdog since 2009, which is a very long stretch considering how often they're the underdog.
