IMPRESSIVE. So grateful the Buffalo Bills responded to their biggest challenge of the season in an impressive way Sunday. The offense was all but unstoppable in a convincing thumping of the Patriots.

That potent offense will be clicking on all cylinders again this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. The visitors are playing their lone cold weather game of the season and will be hopelessly outclassed. Only a late meaningless score disrupts the 14-point spread.

With a home playoff game on the line, expect the Bills to respond with a third straight victory. Bring on the J-E-T-S.

FREDDIE sees it this way:

BILLS 34, Falcons 21
