PIVOTAL. First place In the AFC East is at stake Monday night in WNY when the Buffalo Bills entertain the hated New England Patriots.

The Pats have won six in a row to move ahead of the Bills in the standings, but that’s about to change.

Look for the Bills to survive the epic challenge in prime time and send the Pats home with a loss.

FREDDIE sees it this way:

BILLS 27, Patriots 21
