2. Score early

The Patriots haven’t had any problems scoring this season. They have scored so much that they have even gotten the chance to rest some starters.

The Baltimore Ravens are the only team that has put up more points than the Patriots. New England has almost doubled the point output of Buffalo.

Still, though I think it is important for New England to score early. They need to be able to control the game from the start. If they go a few drives without points Buffalo might be able to sneak away with the win.

Ideally, I would want to see New England score at least two touchdowns in the 1st quarter. This will put the pressure on the Bills.

I don’t think New England will have a ton of problems scoring. The Bills have a tough defense but this is Tom Brady we are talking about. They should find a way to get on the scoreboard.
