We give you the five best games of the NFL Week 4 slate.

5. Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots

This is one of the best games of the weekend for two reasons. The New England Patriots are an incredible story, and because Rex Ryan is going against Bill Belichick. Buffalo isn’t a very good team, sitting at 1-2 after pulling off a big upset over the Arizona Cardinals. New England had a long week to prepare for Ryan and the Bills, having 10 days off since its 27-0 beating of the Houston Texans.

For Buffalo to win this game, it will need to score some points against a very good Patriots defense. Tyrod Taylor simply has to find some receivers on passes that travel less than 50 yards. Going deep has been his story throughout a young career, but that isn’t enough against good teams. Sometimes, you have to simply move the sticks.

New England isn’t sure who will be playing at quarterback, but does it really matter? Jimmy Garoppolo looked great in his two starts while Jacoby Brissett did enough on Thursday to let you know he’s good enough. Hell, Julian Edelman could probably win with this team.
