No. 4 Tom Brady vs Buffalo

I told you there was another Patriot here. Who’d you think it was going to be? Clearly Brady is the play. Let’s just dive into some stats for 12 against Buffalo.

Brady and the Pats have won five straight against the Bills and 11 of the last 12. Now to Brady averages. In his career against the Bills, Brady is averaging a 64.6 percent completion rate and a 101 QBR.

The Bills play up, I mention that. There’s nothing Bills mafia wants more than a win over Brady and the Patriots. It’s their top priority every year it feels like. Since back to back losses to Jacksonville and Detroit, the Patriots are 4-0 and Brady has had a near 100+ QBR in each game. Interceptions have been an issue for Brady this season but in these last four matchups he has 10 touchdowns and just three interceptions.

When I look at the games this week and that Buffalo defense, I don’t see this one being close. James White is pivotal for Brady and his relationship with Josh Gordon is growing. Edelman is still a huge factor and with too many weapons to stop I like the Patriots by three touchdowns this weekend.
