Here is my full video breakdown and analysis on YouTube:
If you can’t see the link, search YouTube for: The Mad Russian Wagertalk
I’m taking the full touchdown with New England in a divisional matchup that has been much tighter than the perception of these two teams would suggest.
The last SIX meetings between New England and Buffalo have all been decided by one possession.
And we don’t have to go very far back for proof that New England can compete in this building. Last October, the Patriots went into Buffalo as an underdog and won outright, 23-20. Drake Maye completed 22-of-30 passes for 273 yards and led the game-winning drive.
Here’s another number I absolutely love in this spot:
New England was a PERFECT 8-0 on the road during the 2025 regular season, then won another road game in the postseason to finish 9-0 away from home.
They became the ONLY TEAM IN NFL HISTORY to finish a season 9-0 on the road.
So going into Buffalo and competing in this environment is nothing new for this group.
The Patriots were embarrassed 35-6 last week in Jacksonville, and I actually like this setup because of it.
One of the situations I’m always interested in is a good-to-great team, with a good-to-great coach and a good-to-great quarterback, coming off a humiliating performance the week before.
Those teams spend the entire week hearing about how bad they looked, what’s wrong with them and whether they’ve been exposed.
With Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye, I trust the response.
Vrabel-coached teams are 26-17-4 ATS following a loss, including 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10.
Maye is also 8-3 ATS outdoors coming off a loss, including 8-2 ATS in his last 10 qualifying games.
Buffalo is 3-0, but I don’t think the Bills have played nearly as cleanly as that record suggests.
They committed FIVE turnovers last week against the Chargers and didn’t take their first lead until the fourth quarter.
Through three weeks, Buffalo has also committed 25 penalties for 219 yards, nearly 73 penalty yards per game.
That matters when we’re catching a full touchdown.
I’m not asking New England to be the better team for 60 minutes. I’m asking them to stay within one score against a familiar divisional opponent that has been making mistakes and giving opponents extra possessions.
There is one injury situation I’m watching closely. Christian Gonzalez, Christian Barmore and Morgan Moses have all missed practice time for New England, while Buffalo CB Christian Benford has also been dealing with a toe injury. Drake Maye has practiced fully despite his shoulder designation.
New England got humiliated last week, but this is still a talented team with a coach and quarterback I trust to respond.
Add in a team that went a historic 9-0 away from home last season, six consecutive meetings in this rivalry decided by one possession, and a full touchdown in our pocket and I think this is a very strong bounce-back spot.
