The Patriots (8-5) beat Carolina 20-10 at home in Week 14 and lead the AFC East, one game ahead of Miami. QB Tom Brady made 19 of 32 passes for 192 yards with one TD and one interception; overall he’s thrown for 3,830 yards with 23 TD’s and 11 interceptions for a 95.4 passer rating. RB Laurence Maroney had 22 carries for 94 yards, while RB Kevin Faulk had 10 carries for 58 yards with a TD. WR Wes Welker made 10 catches for 105 yards, while WR Benjamin Watson made three catches for 37 yards with a TD. WR Randy Moss has come under scrutiny recently. He was sent home after being late to a practice last week, and then had one of the worst performances of his career, one catch for 16 yards, against the Panthers. After the game, Panthers CB Chris Gamble questioned Moss' effort. You can bet the house that WR Randy Moss will come out strong, but he and QB Tom Brady must be weary of the Bills fifth ranked pass defense , that has Safety Jairus Byrd with a high nine interceptions. Tom Brady has thrown an interception in six of his last seven games. If their pass game struggles they can rely on their second ranked running game, led by RB Laurence Maroney’s 654 yards rushing and eight TD’s, against the Bills league worst rush defense. The Patriots have averaged 19.3ppg and allowed 23.3ppg in their last three games. They are 1-5 SU on the road where they average 22.2ppg and give up an average23ppg.They are 5-7-1 ATS and 4-8 over/under.

RB Fred Jackson had 20 carries for 99 yards and he was top receiver with three catches for 23 yards. WR Terrell Owens caught their lone TD pass. Their defense had four sacks and four interceptions on the day. The Bills have given up on QB Trent Edwards and have gone 2-3 SU without him and QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown more interceptions than TD’s. The Bills 29th ranked pass game won’t have much of a chance against the Patriots 14th ranked pass defense. WR Terrell Owens has a touchdown in three of his past four games . Their 17th ranked running game, led by RB Fred Jackson’s 731 yards rushing and three TD’s, will go against the Pats 14th ranked rush defense. He has been held scoreless in two straight games. The Bills have averaged 20ppg and allowed 14.3ppg in their last three games. They are 2-4 SU at home where they average 16.8ppg and allow 19.6ppg. They are 7-6 ATS and 5-8 over/under.
