‘The Bills will wisely sit as many starters as possible. They should give running back James Cook a series or two to get the 19 yards he needs to reach 1,000 for the season, and give Cook a chance to tie the franchise single-season record for rushing touchdowns, which was set by O.J. Simpson in 1975 with 16. The other thing to watch from a record standpoint is which Bills receiver can catch a touchdown pass for the first time this season, becoming the 14th different member of the team and setting a new NFL mark. My money is on Reggie Gilliam. An interesting subplot is the Patriots clinch the No. 1 overall draft pick with a loss. New England has more incentive to lose than either team does to win. Are Buffalo’s backups good enough to beat New England’s starters? We’ll get the answer to that question. Bills, 20-17.’
