Final 2022 regular season win-loss predictions for the Buffalo Bills

Week 13: Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots

The Buffalo Bills kick off a stretch of three straight divisional games that could be the deciding factor on whether or not they win the AFC East for a third straight year. The Bills begin this stretch with the team they saw in the AFC Wild Card Round last year, the New England Patriots.

While the Patriots still have Bill Belichick as their coach, this is not the same team that used to run the AFC East. This preseason the Patriots have not looked good, particularly on the offensive side of the ball as they try to figure out who should be calling plays between Matt Patricia and Joe Judge.

In theory, this could create an advantage as opposing teams struggle to prepare for the Patriots’ offense but the only thing it has seemingly done to this point is confuse second-year quarterback Mac Jones. This is probably not an ideal situation for the young quarterback and this has the potential to be a long season for the New England Patriots

Prediction: Win (9-3)
