A bye week followed and the extra time would have been welcome relief for the offence that has produced only two touchdowns. If Drew Bledsoe can find even a hint of form, Buffalo have a great chance of stringing a few victories together. The defence has lived up to expectations and done a great job while the offence has spluttered to a total of twenty points. Despite the dreadful start made by the Bills, New England Patriots may be still on their unbeaten streak but haven’t played well so far. Indianapolis should have taken the spoils in the season opener, while Arizona were not beaten by a huge margin. Where Buffalo can enjoy success against the Patriots is with their ground attack so long as the offensive line can open some holes for Travis Henry and backup Willis McGahee. The Patriots have not looked great against the run so far with Edgerrin James in week 1 running all over the Super Bowl winners. Snapping the 17 game winning streak of New England is a tough ask for the Buffalo, but if the offence can show a little more bite and the defence continues to perform well, the AFC East division might look a little more interesting come Sunday night. The best price on Buffalo winning is 9/4, although the safer option is to stick with the generous 6.5pts start given by Bluesq. Ben Swift, readaBet.com
