Bills at Patriots Preview & Bold Predictions

Bills at Patriots Preview & Bold Predictions

Author: Blue Wire January 3, 2025 Duration: 38:17

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran previews the Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots season finale at Foxboro, complete with Bills keys to victory (is there really any "keys" in this game?) as we as bold predictions and more.

It's a matchup where the Bills have nothing to lose by losing and New England nothing much (if at all) to gain from winning. That's probably the most intriguing storyline going in. The Bills are locked into the number two seed for the AFC playoffs regardless of how this game plays out while New England is guaranteed the top pick of the 2025 NFL draft if they lose to Buffalo.

That said, Patrick still finds things worthy of talking about, mainly what starters will see the field for Buffalo, who should and shouldn't and what kind of lineup we may see on Sunday. Also, Patrick points out that a Bills win would set the all-time franchise record with 14 wins in a season, which may result in them making a more concerted effort to win with their backups.

That plus three bold predictions for the game, plenty of thoughts on the announcement of the AFC Pro Bowl roster that included just two Bills and plenty more.

Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time.
