Clash of AFC East 2-0

This weekend we find an unusual matchup between these two AFC East teams starting with a 2-0 record this season. For New England that’s no surprise to begin that way, but when you are talking about the Buffalo Bills that’s another story, with a team looking great on the field and with an offensive production not seen on Buffalo in a long time.

Coming out of a losing season (4-12 record) with 2 weeks in this year’s season Buffalo has won half of the games they won last year. Looking promising yes, but don’t let go that underdog emotion to blind you in this matchup; Buffalo has won over two regular teams, tough but regular at the end (Kansas City and Oakland), not close to the power of Tom Brady and New England. Of course New England has some weakness, but those weak points are eclipsed by the outstanding performance of Tom Brady, who is becoming a living shotgun on the field.

Could Buffalo resist New England’s offensive game? If we go by the numbers of the previous matchups between these two teams, the sky looks more than gray for Buffalo. They have lost the last 15 games against New England, but this year it could be different, Buffalo is at home, they have a renewed team, their fans are just crazy about this good start, and I can’t even imagine how crazy this city can go if they defeat the Patriots this Sunday. It could happen…

The spread on the game sets New England favorite by 9 points. Brady has almost the double passing yards than Fitzpatrick, but the Bills have an average of 39.5 points per game against Patriots 36.5; allowing 21 points per game against New England’s 22.5 points allowed per game.

If Buffalo’s defense can isolate Wes Welker and Deion Branch, and if NFL’s leading rusher Fred Jackson produces the amount of rushing yards he’s been gaining in the first two games, I believe they will cover the spread, and they might even win the game.
