Multiple experts believe that the New England Patriots can pull off the upset of the Buffalo Bills this week.
Heading into Week 4 of the NFL season, there aren't many people around the league who are high on the New England Patriots.
New England looked lost in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, seeing themselves get blown off the field. Quarterback Drake Maye hasn't looked the same as he did a year ago, with the young signal-caller struggling this season.
This has seen the New England offensive attack look like a mess, and things don't get any easier this week. The Patriots will be heading on the road to take on the AFC East rival Buffalo Bills, in what could end up being a huge game for both teams.
Last season, the two teams split the season series, with each winning on the others home field. But this year, Buffalo enters the game as a heavy favorite given where the two sides are right now.
New England will enter the game with a record of 1-2 on the season, and they need a win in the worst way this week. Buffalo comes in sitting with a record of 3-0 on the year, and they will want to clean up some mistakes from a week ago.
Ahead of the game, experts Gary Davenport, Brad Gagnon, Kris Knox, Moe Moton, Brent Sobleski, Wes O'Donnell, and Ian Hanford of Bleacher Report gave predictions for the matchup. Between the seven analysts, only three predicted the Patriots to take down the Bills.
Gagnon, Moton, and O'Donnell were the three to pick New England to pull off the upset this weekend. Most of the experts believe that this game between the Patriots and Bills will be a close one, with the two teams knowing each other well.
Given where New England is right now, they could be coming in with a sense of desperation. The Patriots need to right the ship before its too late, and going against a rival like this could be the perfect time to bounce back.
There were many around the NFL who saw the Patriots regressing this season following a Super Bowl appearance last year. But nobody saw these kind of struggles coming, especially from Maye, who was the MVP runner-up last season.
New England has a chance to turn around their season if it can get a win over the Bills this weekend, but it won't be easy. However, this team has never done anything easy, and the Patriots will try to pull off a big upset on the road.
