Buffalo Bills
Buffalo Bills Sunday afternoon in Ralph Wilson Stadium, the Buffalo Bills host the New England Patriots in an AFC East match-up that may turn out to be a little more interesting that some people think.

Although the Pats have been surrounded by turmoil and controversy, they managed to avoid a third straight loss and maintain control of the division with the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets right on their tail.

NFL odds makers like the Patriots' chances to continue to move forward agianst the Bills as the spread is listed at about a touchdown. The line in Vegas is sitting at, New England -7 with the total in the game set at 41.

The Patriots spent last week fielding questions about a defense that had struggled in back-to-back defeats and four players who had been sent home from practice after showing up late for a team meeting. This week it's Randy Moss' desire.

Moss fumbled away his only catch in the
win against the Panthers. The veteran wide-out had his effort questioned by Carolina defensive backs Chris Gamble and Chris Harris. He has just six receptions in the last three games.

A trip to Buffalo may be just what New England needs. New England has won in their last five visits to Orchard Park, N.Y. by a combined score of 163-40.

The 5-8 Bills have been looking better as of late. They racked up 200 rushing yards and held a fourth straight opponent under 20 points in a 16-10 win at Kansas City on Sunday, but beating the Patriots would make a much bigger statement.

"It would be a tremendous boost," said Bills head coach Perry Fewell. "Unfortunately, since I've been here, we haven't beaten them, so if we can do that, accomplish that, that would be a great Christmas present."

Look for the Bills to play well and keep this one close. I'm not sure if they will win, but the Pats won't cover the 7 points.

Take the Bills getting the points at home.
