New England -3.5
Don't under-appreciate the loss of Bills safety Donte Whitner as well as nickleback Ashton Youboty. The Bills secondary is getting thin and even with an inexperienced Matt Cassal, Belichick has weapons at the WR spot and will find ways to exploit. The Bills have already been missing DE Aaron Schobel the past 3 week, the Bills pass rush has not been as sharp with him out. Cassal is beginning to show some levels of comfort. Against a softer pass rush/softer secondary, he may be able to do some damage like her did vs Denver.
Buffalo offense has not been overly impressive and they have injuries to their offensive line have hurt their pass protection the past few games. New England's defense has been sharper recently vs Colts, Rams, and Broncos after a bad stretch.
