"All eyes are on the Patriots this week, as they welcome the Bills to Gillette Stadium for what is already being deemed the biggest game in the franchise's history since what turned out to be Tom Brady's final game. With a win, the Patriots steal the AFC East for the first time in five years, and with a loss, the Bills' hope of remaining the top dog in the division stays alive."
"The weather in Foxboro might become a factor in the Patriots biggest game of the season Earlier on Sunday morning, when reporters and players were arriving at the stadium, it was snowing in Foxboro and already seeing temperatures below freezing. Although the Patriots have to deal with that every year, it's not something this year's team has played in yet, and the Bills are coming off a snowy game in Buffalo where they capitalized on the Bengals' snowy mistake."
"It is still expected to snow lightly during the game, which isn't exactly what any fan wants to see, but hopefully, the Patriots won't let it become a storyline in their quest to regain the divisional title. It would be good to see the Bills crumble under pressure, as they have done a lot of over the last five years, and make more mistakes that help their rival."
The Patriots host the Bills at Gillette Stadium with the AFC East on the line; a Patriots win secures the division for the first time in five years while a Bills victory keeps Buffalo atop the division. A Patriots loss would not eliminate them but would increase pressure to win remaining games. New England embraces underdog status and the motivation of denying Buffalo the division. Forecasts call for light snow, around 31 degrees and wind near 8 mph, which could benefit Buffalo after their recent snowy outing. The Patriots have not yet played in snow this season, while the Bills come off a snowy win against the Bengals where they capitalized on opponent mistakes. Snow could affect gameplay and become a decisive factor in the divisional race.
