The Patriots have the second-worst scoring offense in the NFL at 12 points a game. It's not just bad turnovers from Mac Jones. New England's battered offensive line is terrible and the skill position players are below par especially at wide receiver.

Buffalo has key defensive injuries. The Bills, however, are deep on defense and can handle weak offenses. Buffalo held Las Vegas to 10 points, Washington to three points and the Giants to nine points.

The Bills have struggled to get in rhythm offensively the past two weeks averaging just 17 points against the Jaguars and Giants. Josh Allen may not be 100 percent. The Patriots are well-coached defensively. They rank 10th in defensive total yards.

This is an intense division rivalry matchup. Points will be at a premium. Weather could factor, too. Heavy wind is in the forecast with a chance of rain.
