If you watched the Week 5 matchup between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots, then you saw how real the Patriots were and have kept themselves throughout this season. New England beat Buffalo 23-20, but for those watching that game know that it should have been by way more with the way the Bills were playing.
Since that game, the Bills have gone 5-3 but have won back-to-back games in the last two weeks. One of those games was a dominant 2nd-half performance against the Steelers, and the other was a comeback win over the Bengals in the 4th quarter. For this game, the Bills are going to need to come out swinging early on and make New England fight for a win.
This game is a very important one for the Bills, not just because they need to win to stay alive in the playoff race, but the Patriots can take the AFC East for the first time since 2019 with a win. For Bills fans, that would be an extremely hard sight to see the Patriots celebrate their first division title since Tom Brady left, and beating the Bills to do it.
Latest score prediction has Bills holding off Patriots in Week 15 (but not by much)
Sayre Bedinger from NFL Spin Zone has the Bills walking into Foxborough and beating the Patriots, winning 27-24.
"If Allen puts on the Superman cape for this game, the Patriots could be in trouble. And the implications of the Pats losing this one would be huge, because they have to travel to Baltimore next weekend.Sayre Bedinger, NFL Spin Zone
I never thought it would be so simple to pick this game, but I found a way. I found a way."
When Allen turns into Superman, the Bills become nearly unstoppable. Last week, the Bills were down by 10 points in the 4th quarter and Allen had himself a 40-yard touchdown run to jump start the Bills’ comeback, which included Christian Benford’s 63-yard interception return for a touchdown.
It’s annoying that Allen having to become Superman is what helps the Bills get the win but at this point with knowing what’s on the line, if it works then it works. We have seen Allen play well against New England and there is a good chance that he will help lead the Bills to an upset win in enemy territory.
