The Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots will meet on Monday Night Football.

Buffalo is trying to make the playoffs for the first time since 1999, the longest active streak in the NFL. The Bills have gone through plenty of rough times over the last 15 years, including a carousel at the quarterback position. In that time, Buffalo has started people under center ranging from Kelly Holcomb and Trent Edwards to Ryan Fitzpatrick and J.P. Losman.

This year, the Bills are rolling with Tyrod Taylor. Taylor has been decent to this point in the season, starting seven games and completing 70.5 percent of his throws for 1,436 yards and 11 touchdowns against only four interceptions. Taylor’s play has Buffalo at 5-4 and in the sixth and final spot in the AFC playoff picture, but it now faces the toughest test of its season.

New England is 9-0 and looks like a team that could go undefeated. The Patriots are rolling with the efficiency of a juggernaut, with quarterback Tom Brady entering Week 11 with 3,043 passing yards, the most in the NFL. Brady is the frontrunner for the MVP award, using Rob Gronkowski and a host of receivers to show that the 38-year old is far from done.

The Patriots already beat the Bills in Week 2, scoring almost at will. There is no reason to think that won’t happen again.

Pick: New England 34, Buffalo 19
