Bills vs Patriots Preview & Bold Predictions

Bills vs Patriots Preview & Bold Predictions

Author: Blue Wire December 20, 2024 Duration: 40:40

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of the Buffalo Bills taking on the New England Patriots Sunday at Highmark Stadium, including Bills biggest keys to victory as well as three bold predictions and a stab at the final score.

The Bills are looking good at 11-3 right now and having beat both Kansas City and Detroit already on the back half of their schedule. After a string of games against very tough opponents the Bills return home to play one of the worst teams in the league both in terms of their record and talent. Patrick talks about how life's good for MVP frontrunner Josh Allen and the Bills organization right now but let's also not forget the Patriots were crappy last year as well but managed to hand Buffalo a four point loss.

For New England it's all about the future with their talented rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who drew many comparisons to Allen coming into the draft. The Patriots are 3-13 and Patrick describes the details of a roster that's quite frankly, just as lousy on paper as they are in the standings. From there it's on to the biggest Bills keys to a victory and this week's pretty simple: not making this the week they decide to start turning the ball over, not letting New England get the run game going and not taking the game itself for granted, with Patrick pointing out several great teams that have already lost or nearly did to inferior competition at home.

That plus three bold predictions including a pair of them being VERY bold, a few minutes railing on the Buffalo Sabres a little more, homage to a Buffalo broadcasting legend 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.
