Total Line: 45
The Patriots claimed their first victory of the regular 2015 season this past week, with a score of 28-21 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the season debut, quarterback Tom Brady put on an amazing showing, going 25 of 32 for 288 yards and four touchdowns. Despite the fact that New England were missing several key players, such as Brandon LaFell, who is currently out with an injury, LeGarrette Blount, who is currently suspended, and Shane Vereen, who has found himself on the New York Giants roster, the Patriots still showed their powerful offensive strategies, which they’ll be looking to bring against the Bills this week.
Official stats for the 2015 season show that Dion Lewis attempted 15 rushes and claimed 69 yards in the Patriots’ opening game, with Julian Edelman receiving 11 passes for 97 yards, 14 of which were long receptions. Rob Gronkowski, on the other hand scored three touchdowns and five receptions for 94 yards. Centerback, Duron Harmon recorded a single interception during the same game against the Steelers.
The Bills also garnered a victory in their first week regular season game, defeating the Indianapolis Colts in a big 27-14 home win. The Colts were barely able to claim any running yards against Buffalo, being restricted to just 64 on 3.8 yards per carry. This puts the Bills at 4-0 in their last four home games, something which could prove fatal for the Partiots. Buffalo put on a big offensive game against Indianapolis last week, with quarterback Tyrod Taylor being particularly impressive in his very first NFL start, completing 14 of his 19 attempted passes for 195 yards. The running game was also on point for the Bills, with 147 yards recorded, 41 of those for running back, LeSean McCoy.
Having completed 73.7% of his attempted passes last week, Tyrod Taylor will be looking to put on another stellar performance against the Patriots this week. Taylor also ran for 41 yards in nine attempts, while Karlos Williams and Anthony Dixon both scored a touchdown each. Dan Carpenter claimed two 40-49 field goals for the team, while a total of two interceptions were recorded in their game against the Colts, one by Ronald Darby and the other by Aaron Williams.

Free NFL Pick
We can’t say that the Bills offense compares with the Steelers (464 Yards vs. Pats in Week 1) at this point in the season, but they do have weapons and should get their share of yardage against this unit. The Patriots put up 28 points in their game against Pittsburgh, but the Buffalo defense is a huge step up. New England scored 37 in Buffalo last season, but their starting safety Aaron Williams missed that game and they exploited fill in safety Duke Williams all game.
