Patriots vs Bills live stream: How to watch NFL week 8 game online
The Patriots vs Bills live stream sees Buffalo angle for first win against NE in years
The Patriots vs Bills live stream is set to begin at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT today (Sunday, November 1) on CBS.
It's game time with the Patriots vs Bills live stream, which delivers two teams heading in the exact opposite directions. The Bills are on the rise with a 5-2 record while the Patriots are really struggling, at 2-4. And New England quarterback Cam Newton was so bad he was benched in last week's NFL live stream.
Newton has just two TD throws (ranking at 31st), but a whopping 7 interceptions — with five in the past two games. Newton also has the odd distinction of having run in more touchdowns (five) than he has thrown, making him the Pat's leading rusher.

But the Patriots' problems go deeper than Newton. His targets have struggled to get open. Still dealing with a knee injury, wide receiver Julian Edelman is a shadow of his former self, with just 315 receiving yards and zero touchdowns to his name thus far. Edelman's injury status is questionable this week, as is that of WR N'Keal Harry.
While the home team Bills have a strong record overall and are favored by 4 points, things have not been going smoothly of late. They lost two of their past three matchups, including a 42-16 clobbering by the Titans. And their recent small win over the 0-7 New York Jets is not much to brag about.
Josh Allen has certainly been a stronger QB than Cam Newton this year, with a hefty 16 touchdown throws and over twice the total pass yardage. But his output dropped to just four TDs in the past three games, with zero in a Jets matchup won entirely on field goals.
While each team has had its difficulties of late, the Bills just need to get back their mojo from a few weeks ago, whereas the Patriots would need a complete transformation to stand a chance. But whatever happens on Sunday, each team will get another crack at it when they meet again in week 16.

Sling TV, our other favorite live TV service, won't be enough to help, as its array of NFL game-hosting networks — FOX, ESPN, NBC and NFL Network — lacks CBS and NFL RedZone.
The more comprehensive package comes from fuboTV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
It's a case of "you get what you pay for" as Sling Orange & Blue (which you'd need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $45 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $59.99 per month.
