At the onset of 2020, Buffalo figured this would be their best opportunity to unseat the Patriots. New England has ruled the AFC East for two decades. But the Tom Brady and Bill Belichick divorce has opened the NFL betting door wide open. Starting with four straight wins the Bills seemed poised to take the mantle. But then came a blowout loss at Tennessee. Following that was a Monday night home loss to the Chiefs. But the Patriots may not be capable of finding weaknesses. Late on it’s certainly NOT looking that way. The Pats and Bills meet Sunday.
