‘They weren’t lucky to win the title — they were lucky to finish 13-3. The win total is what’s coming down — right into striking distance. The Bills play at Kansas City, Tampa Bay, New Orleans and Tennessee. The Pats will get the Bucs, Saints and Titans all at home and miss the Chiefs. While Buffalo was the fourth-healthiest team in football in 2020, the Patriots lost more games to COVID-19 than anyone — that isn’t happening again. Bet on the ascending team with the best coach, a deep defense, top-5 running game and offensive line, not one that’s betting on Josh Allen to make another unprecedented leap in NFL history and more good luck. The AFC East race will come down to the Pats-Bills showdowns in December. Stephon Gilmore missed both Bills games last year. If he plays, these should be toss-ups, and the Pats are due for a date with Lady Luck.’
