New England Patriots 26 · Buffalo Bills 21
Why this lean
New England Patriots gets the nod thanks to New England Patriots’s margin advantage, with New England Patriots’s recent run providing the second tip. Special-teams field-position swings are the hidden risk in a tight read.
Three things to watch
- Net efficiency. New England Patriots has the cleaner scoring profile; Buffalo Bills needs the game state to get messier.
- Scoring margin. New England Patriots at +10.6 per game vs. Buffalo Bills at +5.3 — a 5.2-point gap on the season.
