Patriots-Bills Preview

Sunday's matchup featuring the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills features two teams having completely opposite seasons.

On one hand, you have the New England Patriots who are having an amazing season at 12-2. They are fighting for the 1 seed in the AFC and can clinch with their 15th consecutive win over the Bills on Sunday.

Then, on the other hand, you have the Buffalo Bills who are 4-10. They've basically been out of the playoff race since the season began.

Why should I watch this game?

The game is a rematch from earlier in the season in which New England won 38-30. Buffalo was surprisingly competitive in the game and showed some offensive ability.

Also, you should watch because the game features two good quarterbacks.

For New England, you have 3 time Super Bowl winner and possible league MVP Tom Brady. Brady is having an incredible season passing for over 3,500 yards, 31 td's and 4 int's.

Without Brady, the Patriots wouldn't be what they are. They are a team that relies on their offense because they don't have much of a defense.

For Buffalo, they throw out a trio of players in Ryan Fitzpatrick, Freddy Jackson, and Stevie Johnson.

Fitzpatrick is having a surprising season with 23 touchdowns and only 12 interceptions. While his numbers don't stack up anywhere near Brady, he is still having an above average season. He has even caught the eye of other NFL players such as Terrell Suggs who put Fitzpatrick on his pro bowl ballot.

Jackson and Johnson have also been on fire the last half of the season as well. Jackson is an underrated running back who has the ability to tear up the Patriots and Johnson is a threat no matter where the Bills are on the field.

Key to the game:

The key to the game is for the Bills to pray for a Christmas Miracle. They need to find a way to stop Brady.

In the last matchup, Brady passed for 252 yards and 3 touchdowns as he carved up the Bills secondary.

The Bills should be able to score some points against the Patriots defense, but if they can't stop Brady, it will be to no use.

Outlook:

I see the Bills offense showing up for the challenge but I see their defense getting carved up. In the end, I think Tom Brady and the New England offense will score too much for the Bills to handle and win going away.

Prediction: Patriots 38-24
