Oddsmakers Favor Bills Over 11-2 Patriots in AFC East Rematch

A win would clinch the division for New England, which is treating the underdog label as motivation.

Overview

  • Buffalo is a slight road favorite by roughly 1 to 1.5 points, per major sportsbooks and AP projections.
  • New England enters 11-2 on a 10-game winning streak after a 23-20 win in Buffalo in Week 5.
  • A Patriots victory would secure the AFC East and the head-to-head tiebreaker; the Bills must win and then outfinish New England or rely on later tiebreakers.
  • Stefon Diggs welcomed the line with a one-word "Good," citing the team's "edge," while Mike Vrabel downplayed the spread and Drake Maye called it extra motivation.
  • Markets and pundits are split, with oddsmakers leaning Buffalo and some analysts backing New England, underscoring divergent expectations for Sunday in Foxborough.
