Key Factors
Favors Over
The Patriots are a 3.5-point underdog in this game, which points towards a passing game script.
THE BLITZ projects the New England Patriots to be the 10th-most pass-oriented offense in football (context-neutralized) at the moment with a 62.4% pass rate.
THE BLITZ projects the Patriots to run the 9th-most offensive plays among all teams this week with 66.1 plays, based on their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
Mac Jones has totaled 0.90 interceptions per game this year, checking in at the 17th percentile among quarterbacks.
The New England Patriots have faced a stacked the box on 27.7% of their plays since the start of last season, most in football. Keeping an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
Favors Under
The New England Patriots have called the 6th-least plays in the NFL this year, totaling a lowly 54.9 plays per game.
The Buffalo Bills have intercepted 1.08 throws per game this year, grading out as the 3rd-best defense in the league by this statistic.
The Buffalo Bills linebackers rank as the 2nd-best LB corps in the NFL this year in covering receivers.
The New England Patriots O-line has given their quarterback a measly 2.53 seconds before the pass (9th-worst in football since the start of last season), which has a harmful effect on all passing game metrics across the board.
The New England Patriots have gone no-huddle on a lowly 2.6% of their plays outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (4th-least in football). This deadens the pace, leading to less volume and stat accumulation.
