Bills vs. Patriots Week 17 Odds
FOXBORO, MA (The Spread) – The Patriots have the No. 1 seed in the AFC wrapped up but they’ll have revenge on their minds when they host the Bills on Sunday.
BUFFALO: The Bills pulled off one of the better upsets last Saturday when they knocked off Tim Tebow’s Broncos at Ralph Wilson Stadium. C.J. Spiller rushed for 111 yards on 16 carries with one touchdown while the defense intercepted Tebow four times and returned two of those picks for touchdowns. Unfortunately for Buffalo, however, the win only improved the team’s record to 6-9 on the year. But at least the Bills covered for only the first time in the past four weeks.
NEW ENGLAND: After two quarters of play last Saturday the Patriots found themselves down 17-0 against the Miami Dolphins. But an explosive second half propelled New England to a 27-24 victory as Tom Brady threw for 304 yards and one touchdown. The victory was the Patriots’ seventh in a row and it allowed them to secure the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a 12-3 record. But while some would say the Pats have nothing to play for, they’ll have revenge on their minds after the Bills shocked them in Week 3 earlier this season.
