How we see it: News writers predict Bills vs. Patriots on Monday Night Football

‘Weather is the wild card, and a game with limited passing obviously hurts the Bills more than the Patriots. This could be a game in which each team needs to maximize the possessions it has going with the wind. Most of the points could be scored with the wind, especially if the winds are 30 to 40 mph. I think Star Lotulelei’s return helps the Bills’ defense a lot. I think Josh Allen still can make a few plays passing, as long as it’s not a blizzard. Field position and punting will be huge factors. If a team is forced to punt into the wind from its own end zone, it could be automatic points for the opposition. I know this: I wouldn’t bet a dime on this game. Bills, 16-15.’

Bills’ Levi Wallace, next man up, says he’s ‘not trying to be TreDavious White’

‘“I’m not trying to be Tre’Davious White. There’s only one Tre’Davious White. I’m Levi Wallace and I’m gonna play my game and do me. That’s what I’ve focused on this week,” he said. “I think a lot of people are like, ‘CB1 and dah, dah, dah, dah.’ I’m like, Tre’Davious is CB1. I’m CB. I’m just out here to play football. I want to do the best that I can and keep it pushing.”’

Patriots’ Mac Jones vs. Sean McDermott: No rookie QB has done this vs. Bills defense under coach

‘No rookie quarterback has ever thrown for more than 1 touchdown pass against a Sean McDermott-coached Bills defense in seven games since the 47-year-old was hired in 2017. Trevor Lawrence, Davis Mills, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, Dwayne Haskins, Duck Hodges and Sam Darnold have combined for just 4 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions in their rookie game against McDermott’s Bills. They’re a combined 146 of 241 (60%) for 1,398 yards (199 yards passing per game).’

‘All eyes are on Josh Allen’ as Buffalo Bills take on surging New England Patriots on MNF (preview)

‘“Is it going to come down to him making enough plays to win? Is it going to come down to eliminating the bad plays? Because for me, what I want to see from the start to the finish is composure. Whether he gets hit, whether he gets picked off, whether he fumbles the ball… I’m judging him more based on the two or three plays after those mistakes, than I am going to be the mistakes themselves, because this is a really good defense, an opportunistic defense. You’re gonna probably have a few moments in the game where you make mistakes. It’s how you recover from them. And I think all eyes are on Josh Allen in this game.”’

Parrino’s perspective: 3 things I’m thinking about ahead of Bills-Patriots

‘While most fans are concerned about the Patriots’ ability to run the ball, Jones can make plays if he’s given time. From the very first snap, the Bills have be in Jones’ space and make him uncomfortable. Watching him in a few games this season, he gets into a rhythm pretty quickly if he has time to operate.’

Non-Billievers: CBS analysts unanimously pick Patriots over Bills in AFC East

‘To be fair to the CBS analysts, New England is one of the hottest teams in the league and will be riding a six-game win streak into Highmark Stadium on Monday night. Buffalo has a chance to prove the analysts wrong starting on Monday night, but the Bills have done themselves no favors with a few bad losses (Steelers, Jaguars) this season.’
