THURSDAY FORECAST

Buffalo Bills (8-3) at

New England Patriots (6-5) • 8:15 p.m.

It might be worth noting the Patriots threw the ball just three times and ran 46 times for 222 yards when they beat the Bills last season in Buffalo, a game played with 40 mph wind gusts. It also helped they held Josh Allen to 145 yards passing. It is unlikely the same weather conditions will exist in Foxboro, though you never know when a Nor’easter might blow through. For what it’s worth: Each team gave up 33 points in losses to the Vikings.

Prediction: Bills, 19-18
