New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

The New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills both kicked off the new season with victories over tough teams Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts respectively. Both are hoping to start a winning streak as they face each other at the Ralph Wilson Stadium this Sunday.

With superstar quarterback Tom Brady leading the way, the Patriots made easy pickings of the Steelers in their runaway 28-21 victory at the Gillette Stadium last week, as reported by Oregon Live.

Brady outplayed his equally illustrious counterpart, Ben Roethlisberger, as he tallied 288 yards via 25-of-32 passing, four touchdowns, with two sacks and no interceptions for a QB Rating of 91.2.

Meanwhile, the Bills are more impressive in beating the Super Bowl-favorite Colts, 27-14, in their own opener also at home.

Starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor was remarkable in his Buffalo debut going 14-of-19 in passes for 195 yards, one touchdown without any sacks and interceptions for a QBR of 88.2, as per Heavy.

The new-look Bills are certainly making it a fight against the Patriots, but Brady will find a way to put his team over their opponents by at least one touchdown.

Prediction: Patriots win, 28-21
