Patriots vs Bills Prediction and NFL Picks Against the Spread
This is the third matchup between these AFC East foes this season, with the Bills winning the only game that didn’t feature horrendous weather. Still, I expect Bill Belichick to win the mental game on Saturday.
No. 6 seeds have performed well in the playoffs over the past four years, going 8-0 against the spread in the Wild Card round. I like the Patriots in this game, along with another No. 6 seed later.
New England has been running the ball really well, while the Bills’ run defense has been suspect. If the Patriots get an early lead and can control the tempo with their running game, I don’t trust Josh Allen to be efficient enough and make the right decisions to cover the spread. However, the home crowd should be just enough for them to pull off the narrow victory, possibly with a game-winning kick, which would be a welcomed play in Buffalo of all places.
