Patriots head to Buffalo for week 13: Preview and Predictions
As the Patriots head off to take on the mighty Buffalo Bills, plenty of Patriots Nation is determined, but nervous, at this match up.
Although a little up and down lately, the Bills are a very strong team, boasting one of the best defenses in the NFL at present and an offence with many weapons, not to mention their possibly strongest player, Josh Allen.
The Patriots are having themselves, although good, a little bit of an inconsistent season, but are currently on a winning streak, in particular all 4 of their road games.
Like the Bills, the Patriots have strengths on defense and offense, but the placing of Kyle Dugger on the COVID/reserve list creates a serious hole with the loss of such a strong player.
Neither team is at full capacity so let’s have a look at the most recent New England practice participation/injury report:
Friday 3rd December
New England Patriots – 8 players with limited participation
| C | David Andrews | Shoulder |
| DL | Christian Barmore | Knee |
| LB | Ja’Whaun Bentley | Ribs |
| RB | Brandon Bolden | Knee |
| OT | Trent Brown | Calf |
| K | Nick Folk | Left Knee |
| LB | Dont’a Hightower | Ankle |
| WR | Gunner Olszewski | Ankle |
All that being said, anything can happen, as so far has within plenty of league games we have seen this season.
And so, with that in mind, the Pats Prop crew have put forward their predictions.
The Patriots go into a hostile Monday night game and manage to pull out a win in a close one, Mac leads a game winning drive late on.

The Bills are a good team, it pains me to say it but it’s true, and this match up is one of the most worrying. However, the Patriots have been winning on the road and just hope they aren’t going to let me down after I said they would crush the Bills this season.
