Fearless Freddie’s Football Forecast

By FEARLESS FREDDIE 2 min read

HICCUP. Five turnovers. FIVE! And the Buffalo Bills still somehow managed to beat the Las Angeles Chargers Sunday, 24-16.

Things will be much better this Sunday in Highmark Stadium when the Bills improve to a division-leading perfect 4-0 record. New England will fall to a more focused team in front of a raucous crowd. Josh Allen dons the cape once again.

FREDDIE sees it this way:

BILLS 33, Patriots 27
