These are three bold predictions for the Buffalo Bills in Week 16.
The Buffalo Bills will be looking to set a season-high in consecutive wins at five with a win on Monday night against the New England Patriots. While the Patriots may be looking to the offseason after being eliminated from playoff contention last week, the Buffalo Bills still have plenty to play for on Monday night.
These are three bold predictions for the Bills against the Patriots in Week 16.
Josh Allen doesn’t throw for more than 200 yards
This certainly not a good prediction but one that seems likely to happen. This season has been by far the best in Josh Allen’s career and the best season for a Buffalo Bills quarterback since the days of Jim Kelly.
He currently has exactly 4,000 passing yards, 30 passing touchdowns with an additional eight rushing touchdowns.
Even with the Patriots being without Stephon Gilmore, this is not a good matchup for Josh Allen and the Bills’ passing game and one that he will struggle with. Bill Belichick is an excellent defensive mind and does a good job of limiting what quarterbacks are able to do through the air.
In the past four weeks, the Patriots have allowed only one quarterback (Justin Herbert) to throw for over 200 but just barely at 209. The other three quarterbacks (Kyler Murray, Jared Goff and Tua Tagovailoa) were not able to break 150 passing yards.
Combine this with Josh Allen’s first performance this season when he had only 154 passing yards and an interception, and this is not set up for the Buffalo Bills quarterback to have a big week.
