This is an 8* TOTAL on the OVER Pats/Bills.

New England split its season series with the Bills. It looked shaky down the stretch, losing three of its final four games. That included a 33-24 setback to Miami in the regular-season finale. The Patriots average 27.2 PPG.

Mac Jones and the visiting side will have to try and keep pace with the high-flying Bills, who won their final four regular season games to capture the AFC East title. Buffalo's defense has been good down the stretch, but the Bills success in the playoffs will be determined by their offense, which averages 28.4 points per game.

It's going to be cold today, and that type of weather typically leads to lower-scoring affairs. But not always. In this case I say this number is just a little TOO low. Note that New England has seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last 11 after a SU/ATS loss inw hich it conceded 30 or more points in.

This number is low the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
