Heading into week 13 of the NFL season. We have the New England Patriots taking on the Buffalo Bills on Amazon prime’s Thursday night football game. This is slated to be one of the better matchups of the week and with the Patriots having a great defense, this could be a good match up and a great watch. Let’s go through some of my X-factors on how each team can win and give my overall prediction of this game.
First, let’s start off with the New England Patriots, their biggest X Factor to win this game is definitely their Defense and can they hold Josh Allen and the Bills under 20 points. With the last year’s primetime game being one of the biggest talking points of the season last year, in the cold Windy game were the Patriots won, if the Patriots can have similar success to that game they can definitely keep their playoff hopes alive, we’ve seen in weeks past if you can force Josh Allen into making a couple bad throws a game, this Patriots team can play keep away, and win a low-scoring match up.
The biggest X factor for the Buffalo Bills to win this game is the run game, if the Bills can set up a solid run game against this Pats defense of wine this Bills offense could really click on all cylinders very quickly. With Josh Allen and wide receiver Stefon Diggs being a top quarterback, wide receiver combo in the league, the Patriots will definitely be looking to shut down diggs and force Josh Allen to win this game with his legs and making the small check down plays.
Overall, I predict the Bills to win this game in a close 21-17 fashion as they look to keep their chances alive for the number one seed in the AFC and keep on peace with the red hot Miami Dolphins.
