While it's rather common that Buffalo and New England see one another towards the end of the regular season, the situation both of these squads find themselves in isn't. For the first time since 1995, the Bills are AFC East champions. Meanwhile, the Patriots are on the outside of the playoffs for the first time since 2008.While the division already locked up, Buffalo still has plenty of motivation heading into this matchup with New England as they can bump up to the No. 2 seed in the conference with a win. At 12-3, they'd be locked even with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but own the head-to-head tiebreaker thanks to a win earlier this season. If they were to win tonight, all they would need is a Week 17 win against Miami or a Pittsburgh loss against Cleveland to secure the second seed in the AFC. Of course, this year, only one team gets a first-round bye, but gaining a bit more home-field advantage is beneficial. As for the Patriots, they're simply playing for pride at this point in the year.Here, we're going to get into all the different betting angles that this divisional matchup has to offer, including the spread, total, and give you a few of our favorite player props. We'll also dive into the weeds and see how the lines have shifted leading up to Monday's contest to see which way the winds are blowing as it relates to what the public thinks of this head-to-head.
