Billieve: Previewing Patriots Week on Thursday Night Football

Buffalo Rumblings: for Buffalo Bills fans

On this week’s episode of the Billieve Podcast, hosts John Boccacino and Jamie D'Amico preview the Week 13 clash between two AFC East rivals: the Buffalo Bills (8-3) and the New England Patriots (6-5).

Among the topics discussed:

• We recap the Bills eking out a win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, but it was a costly win as the injuries are starting to mount for Buffalo.
• What will Von Miller's absence mean for the defense? Plus we got a glimpse into how the Bills' defense will be different without Miller...more blitzing.
• The plans to ease CB Tre'Davious White back into the lineup.
• How Buffalo's defense will game plan for Mac Jones and the Patriots’ two-headed running back committee of Rhamondre Stevenson and Damien Harris.
• The Patriots are banged up on their offensive line, too, and Mac Jones has been under pressure a lot this year.
• How the offensive line will be challenged if starters Dion Dawkins and Mitch Morse miss the Thursday Night Football clash with the Patriots, especially facing Matthew Judon and a talented Patriots pass rush.
• The Bills need to get Josh Allen in situations where he can get rid of the ball quickly, utilizing misdirection, motion, draws and screen passes.
• WRs Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis and Isaiah McKenzie will have the edge over New England's secondary.
• We close with our score predictions as Buffalo looks to extend its winning streak to three games.
