3.3* Early Bird Special - #Bills vs. #Patriots

Bills +10.5 3.3* NFL Early Bird
I'm shocked at the ticket price to play the Patriots in the opening week. I'll take the home team here in the Bills who play the Patriots every year and are very familiar with them on offense and defense. The Patriots have done little to improve their defense that ranked 24th last year. When you think about it that rank was probably worse considering their soft schedule. Not only do they get to play in the AFC East and play 3 teams who lack a QB twice they also got ot play Arizona, Tennessee, Jacksonville, and the Rams.

I really think E.J. Manuel has a bright future especially with Doug Marone's offense as he's really smarter than most people would think and he's fearless and has a ton of talent. There is a reason he's still starting after missing time, the guy is very mature. Add that into a mix of talented receivers and a top 5 running game C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson and you have a team that can put up points. In fact this team put up 38 and 31 points in the two games against the Patriots. Expect a high scoring game with Marone in the mix. If you recall he was Sean Payton's offensive coordinator back in 2006-2008 with the Saints.
