GAME PREVIEW ANALYSIS

Daniel’s take:

Revenge is on everyone’s mind but Belichick will never let you know that. While the Patriots will approach this game with their typical “on to Buffalo” mentality, we all know inside they are set on payback. Against the Steelers, New England won the game mostly on the legs of LeGarrette Blount. This time around expect to see a spread and shred passing attack. Brady will want to have the ball in his hands as much as possible to put down the team that handed the Patriots their only loss. A win here should definitively put Brady in the lead for the MVP race.

I see this game won early in the air before Blount delivers body blows late in the game. Expect Brady to target Gronk and Bennett to create and exploit mismatches. I predict Edelman will have his first touchdown of the season against Buffalo and the Patriots will come out with a decisive victory.

Patriots: 38 Bills: 20

Marcus’ take:

From Buffalo’s point of view, this will be an extremely tough game for the Bills. They are coming off a frustrating loss to a division rival and are getting ready to play the best team in the AFC coming off of another easy win. Buffalo will likely be without LeSean McCoy and will have to lean heavy on Tyrod Taylor. Brady has been dominant since his return from suspension. Buffalo will have to win the trenches and make Brady throw away from Gronk and Bennett, easier said than done. Overall New England is just too talented and too hot. I have New England on top.
