Fearless Freddie’s Football Forecast
CRUEL LESSON. The Buffalo Bills have been a revelation this season, somehow winning eight games. Unfortunately, win number nine will not be forthcoming Sunday on the road against New England.
The overrated Patriots still have enough to beat the Bills and lay waste to their playoff hopes.
Freddie sees it this way:
PATRIOTS 31, Bills 20
