The Bills know how to give the game away. According to Buffalo Rumblings, the Bills have given up more 1st downs by penalty (20) than through the running game, which is the next highest total at 18 through the first 5 games of the season. Look for the Patriots offense to try and draw them offsides on 3rd & short situations and try and pick up a new set of downs throughout the game. If the Patriots can do that, then I think they'll have success on offense.
The Bills defensive front line is on top of their game. The Bills are 2nd in the league against the run (71.0 YPG), which says a lot about their front line. They've also got 17 sacks on the year, led by Marcell Dareus with 5.0, which will be a handful for the Patriots offensive line, which has had it's problems this year. They definitely looked better against the Cincinnati Bengals and Brady was also getting rid of the ball fast, and that'll have to continue against the Bills if they want to come out of Buffalo with a win. But as good as they have been against the run, they could be vunerable in the passing game, giving up 253.8 YPG. If the offensive line can handle the pass rush of the Bills, than that will give Brady enough time to p
Sammy Watkins is their top receiver. Sammy Watkins has developed into a pretty good NFL receiver. The 4th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft has notched 284 yards and 2 touchdowns so far with the Bills. While those numbers aren't eye-popping, he'll still be a handful for the Patriots secondary. He also leads the Bills in big plays, notching 5 receptions of 20+ yards so far. He'll bear watching during the game, and he'll probably draw Darrelle Revis for at least part of the game.
