One bold prediction for every game left on Bills schedule, playoff positioning
By Ryan Heckman
Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots Week 18 Prediction
The first time these AFC rivals met earlier in the year, the Bills beat New England pretty handidly, 24-10. It was a Thursday Night Matchup in which the Bills were balanced on offense and held the Patriots’ rushing attack to just 60 yards on the night.
This game, unfortunately for Patriots fans, will not be much different. In fact, it’s going to get ugly. Bill Belichick is going to be officially eliminated from the playoffs in a humiliating defeat.
Look, the Bills will be steaming after a close loss to the Bengals in the previous week. They’ll be out for blood, and potentially with the number 1 seed on the line.
Bold Prediction: Bills win by 17 to solidify number 1 seed in AFC
Bonus: Divisional Round Prediction
In the first round, Buffalo will have earned a bye week. But, in the divisional round, they’ll take on a now-healthy Lamar Jackson in an exciting matchup between two great quarterbacks, each possessing similar mobile skill sets. But, it’s the passing game that will get Allen and the Bills past Baltimore in this one.
The Ravens have given up the 8th-most passing yards this season, and Allen will only pile them on in a convincing playoff victory for the Bills.
