2015 NFL Week 2 Patriots vs. Bills Picks & Predictions
By Anthony Rome
The Patriots and Bills scored 28 and 27 points respectively in their Week 1 victories but when they meet today at 1:00PM ET will the game be more of a defensive battle?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book MyBookie.ag, the Bills are a 1-point home favorites versus the Patriots while the over/under total is currently sitting at 44 points. This game had opened as a pick'em but moved to New England -1 shortly thereafter.
Rex Ryan is an excellent schemer and will design ways to take Rob Gronkowski away from Tom Brady. Buffalo's defense forced two interceptions of Andrew Luck last week and boast one of the leagues best front-sevens. While they won't be able to completely stop Brady and Co., they should limit the damage.
On the other side, the Patriots sacked Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger three times in the NFL season opener and also recorded one interception. While they did surrender 464 total yards, they should be able to keep Tyrod Taylor and Shady McCoy in check today.
The under is 6-0 in the Bills' last six games in September and 6-0 in their last six home games. The under is also 7-1 in their last eight games versus AFC opponents and 16-5 in their last 21 games overall.
