New England Patriots bold predictions for the Week 8 meeting with the Bills.

After somewhat of a positive start to the 2020 NFL season, the New England Patriots have hit a snag in the year and are suddenly struggling nearing the midway point of the regular season schedule.

After kicking off the new year with two wins in the first three weeks, New England has followed that up with three straight losses going into another tough contest in Week 8 on the road.

The Patriots will aim to end that losing streak when they travel to face off against the Buffalo Bills in an AFC East matchup at Bills Stadium in Buffalo on Sunday afternoon.

New England comes into the divisional showdown with a record of 2-4 on the season, including a winless 0-2 record on the road so far this year. The Patriots are most recently coming off of an ugly 33-6 loss at home to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.

In that game, New England was blown away by San Francisco from the get-go, not being able to get into the endzone for the entirety of the game while the 49ers did the exact opposite en route to a 27-point victory.

On the other side of the field in Week 8, the Bills come into the contest with an AFC East-leading record of 5-2 overall, including a record of 2-1 on their home field.

Buffalo is playing the first of two straight games at home after taking down the struggling New York Jets 18-10 in Week 7 on the road in New York.

During the important divisional matchup between the Patriots and Bills on Sunday, here are three bold predictions that will occur in the contest for New England as it looks to get back on track.
