The Patriots will be tested by the Bills. Buffalo’s defense surged to the top of our Pressure Points rankings for the season with a dominant performance last week against the Dolphins (see below for all of Week 16′s pressure rankings). The Patriots have a much better line, but the Bills are just that good under defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, who knows a few tricks for slowing Tom Brady down from his time with the Jets. Still, expect the Patriots’ defense to come up with a few key plays to give the offense some short fields and New England to win an important game for seeding.

How can we not agree with Bedard? Almost every game, regardless of opponent, has gone down to the wire. Last week’s blowout of the Ravens was easily then exception, so expect another near-heart attack today. Can’t even imagine how I’m going to make it through a playoff game with this team, though I guess I should be used to it.
