Both the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills are 3-0 to open the season. Sunday, that will all change as the Patriots are on the road to take on the Bills.
While the Bills may have 0 Ls in the loss column, many critics believe that saying the Bills are undefeated should come with an asterisk. Buffalo won three-striaght games, but they didn’t exactly play the toughest teams in the league. The Bills defeated the Jets, Giants, and Bengals this season.

Online bookmaker SportsBetting has the Bills as the underdogs at +265.
New England hasn’t exactly faced the toughest opponents, either. They took on the Steelers in Week 1 before facing the Dolphins and the Jets. So while both teams were not tested in the early going of the season, they were still able to walk away victorious.
For the Bills to win this game, they will need to defeat the best defense in the league. The Patriots have allowed just 17 points agianst in three games.
New England’s offense also comes at you like a wrecking ball. They are scoring 35.3 points per game.
Buffalo has a solid defense as well. Ranked 4th in the NFL, the Bills are allowing just 15.7 points against per game. Their offense could use improvement, as they are ranked 17th in the league.
The last time Buffalo defeated the Patriots was in 2016. However, the last time Buffalo defeated New England at home was in 2011. History is not on the Bills’ side ahead of this game.
This is certainly a statement game for the Bills more so than the Patriots, so it will be interesting to see if Buffalo pulls out a W and improves to 4-0.
