BookMaker has the Buffalo Bills listed as 9-point favorites on the road against the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon in week 7 of the NFL season. Buffalo has won six of the last ten including the previous four matchups in a row while going 7-3 ATS in the last ten and 3-0 ATS in the last three games in the series. The Bills are 3-3 ATS overall, 1-1 ATS on the road, 3-3 ATS as a favorite, and 1-1 ATS in division games this season while the New England Patriots are 1-5 ATS overall,  0-3 ATS at home, 0-4 ATS as an underdog, and 1-1 ATS in division games.

A few years ago this was the marquee matchup in the AFC East, however, the Patriots have not been the Patriots of old once Tom Brady left, and ever since his departure from New England Buffalo has dominated the series winning four of the five of the last seven meetings and has been dominant at covering the spread during that span as well going 5-2 ATS in those contests. There’s no reason to believe that won’t continue in this matchup which is why I will be taking the Buffalo Bills -9 when they travel to face the New England Patriots.
