— Monday, December 06th New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills

Week 13 of the NFL season will conclude with a major matchup in the AFC East Division as the Buffalo Bills host the New England Patriots. The winner of the Monday Night Football Game will take over first place in the division with only a few weeks remaining.

New England has now won six straight games, and they are looking like a team with a real chance to win a Super Bowl. The Patriots hold a slim lead in the AFC East Division, and they have rebounded after a disappointing 2-4 start.

Buffalo was expected to dominate this division, and they are still in great shape to win the AFC East. The Bills are 7-4 on the season, and a win on Monday night will put them back in the first place.

The Buffalo Bills are 2.5-point favorites over the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football.

Dominating Defense Leading Patriots

The New England Patriots have been one of the best defensive teams in the NFL this season, allowing less than 16 points per game. New England has been even better than that during this current winning streak, and the Patriots will look to put up a low number.

Rookie quarterback Mac Jones has been extremely sharp over the last few weeks, and he has helped the team win six straight games. Jone has thrown 16 touchdowns this season, and he has the Patriots scoring 28.0 points per game.

New England is averaging just 115 rushing yards per game, but they will be looking to establish the run in this game.

Allen Must Lead the Bills

If the Bills are going to win this game at home, then quarterback Josh Allen has to be dominant. Allen has thrown 25 touchdowns this season, but he has also thrown ten interceptions, and he can’t turn the ball over in this game.

Buffalo is averaging 118 rushing yards per game, and Allen has been able to contribute to that attack as well. The Bills tend to abandon the run at times, but the Patriots will force Buffalo to have balance on offense to win the game.

The Bills are giving up less than 100 rushing yards per game, and that will be a major key to this game as well. Buffalo has to be sharp on both sides of the ball if they want to knock off the Patriots.

Patriots Stun the Bills

Both of these teams have been scoring a ton of points recently, but this game will be won on defense. New England doesn’t want to get into a shootout with the explosive Bills, especially while playing in Buffalo.

Buffalo is clearly the more talented team, but New England and Bill Belichick just simply know how to win games. The Patriots will have a good game plan in place for Monday night to stop the Bills.

This game will come down to the final possession, but it will be the visitors that win to stay on top of the division. Bet the New England Patriots moneyline as they go into Buffalo and pick up an impressive win over the Bills on Monday Night Football.
