Buffalo (11-3) is coming off a high-flying Week 15 win against the Lions in Detroit with quarterback Josh Allen standing as the arguable favorite to win the league MVP award this season. The Bills tied an NFL record Sunday by racking up their eighth straight game of scoring 30 points or more.
The Patriots (3-11) are coming off a Week 15 loss to the Cardinals in Arizona and have lost four consecutive games.
