Carucci Take2: Josh Allen’s dominance of woeful Patriots should continue
‘For all the dominance the Bills showed in beating two of the weaker opponents on their schedule so far, Las Vegas and Washington, the Bills also have demonstrated a tendency to play down to their competition.

Thad’s Three Things: Bills at Patriots
‘I think the skill personnel is what’s holding the Bills back offensively more than anything else. Other than Stefon Diggs, I don’t think the Bills have a skill guy that can simply dictate on offense.

Von Miller stepping up in Ed Oliver’s absence: Bills face Patriots with reshuffled defensive line

Game Predictions | Bills at Patriots | Week 7
‘The Patriots are a mess right now, but the Bills didn’t look great in beating the Giants on Sunday night. That won’t matter here. The Bills have owned the Patriots in recent years and this version of Bill Belichick’s team is awful. Look for Josh Allen and the offense to get back on track here.’
