The Buffalo Bills (5-4) and New England Patriots (9-0) are set to face each other for the second and last time this season in a Monday Night Football game at the Gillette Stadium. The Patriots won their first match, 40-32, at the Ralph Wilson Stadium back in Week 2.
Buffalo is currently on a two-game winning run to move up from 0.500 again since Week 6. Their last game was a 22-17 escape against another AFC East rival, the New York Jets, at the MetLife Stadium on November 12th, as per Sports Illustrated.
The Bills' defense held New York to only three points in the first half, then held on to limit the Jets to only seven points in the fourth quarter to quell their comeback attempt.
Meanwhile, the Patriots are still undefeated after nine games and they are looking to extend it to franchise-record 10-game winning streak to start a season.
They nipped the other New York team, the Giants, last Sunday also at the MetLife by the skin of their teeth, 27-26, with a 54-yard field goal from placekicker Stephen Gostkowski with only one second remaining in the clock, via ESPN.
Tom Brady will also be looking to improve from his last performance as he again will make good use of his favorite receivers, tight end Rob Gronkowski and wideout Danny Amendola, to duplicate their recent feat against the Bills.
Prediction: Patriots win, 38-24.
