The Bills (8-6) are sick of it. Just plan sick of it. They’ve heard enough times over the last three weeks that they lost to a team that passed the ball just three times due to inclement weather in Buffalo. Now is the time for them to put that loss far behind them and get back to at least a share of first place in the AFC East.
Buffalo has struggled since their 4-1 start as they have yet to put two wins together since weeks four and five. They’ll have a chance do that Sunday as they are coming off a 31-14 win over the Panthers. That win saw quarterback Josh Allen throw for three touchdowns while running back Devin Singletary ran for 86 yards and score.
The Patriots (9-5) are doing something this week that they haven’t done since week seven, come off a loss. In week 15’s installment of Thursday Night Football, the Pats lost to the Colts, 27-17 snapping their seven game win streak. Mac Jones threw two interceptions in the loss while completing just 26-of-his-45 passes. Jones wasn’t the only one struggling for New England in the loss as the Pat’s run defense joined a long list of teams that were bested by running back Jonathon Taylor. New England allowed Taylor to run for 170 yards and a touchdown in the game.
Despite the Patriots' long win streak and the Bills struggles this season, this is still a very close race in the AFC East. A win puts the Bills in a tie for first at 9-6, while the Dolphins (7-7) just keep winning as they've put together six straight victories. Miami faces the Saints on Monday night.
The Patriots are 1-point favorites against the Bills. The over/under is 43.5.

Bills vs Patriots live streams in the US
In the U.S., the Bills vs Patriots live stream is going to be broadcast on CBS, which is available with most cable packages and on one of our favorite streaming services: fuboTV.
The game starts at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT today (Dec. 26)
You can get your local CBS network's NFL games via Paramount Plus, if you want.
The NFL game broadcast rights have stayed similar season over season. CBS gets AFC games on Sunday afternoons, FOX has the NFC games, NBC has Sunday Night Football and some Thursday night football, while ESPN has Monday Night Football. Amazon Prime Video has some Thursday Night Football games, while the NFL Network will continue to offer a bunch of games throughout the year.
So, that makes it really easy to recommend where cord-cutters should turn to watch the NFL season: Fubo TV. Built for all things sports, Fubo has all three of those local broadcasters, plus ESPN and NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
Sling TV doesn't have CBS (not without AirTV at least), so while that's one of our favorite services, it's not ideal for football fans.
Fubo.TV: One of the best streaming services with FOX, and the top pick for watching all of the 2021 NFL live streams, Fubo has all of the right network channels and the two cable channels you don't want to go without.

Paramount Plus combines what used to be CBS All Access with even more content from the deep ViacomCBS vault. Get access to Survivor and Big Brother episodes, as well as originals like Star Trek: Picard and The Good Fight. And more great stuff is on the way, including Frasier and Criminal Minds revivals.
