David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports

1. Danny Amendola will have first career punt return TD

Amendola was painfully close to reaching the end zone on a punt return for the first time in his career, but Duron Harmon’s puzzling decision to run him over at the seven-yard line ruined it. This week, Harmon will give Amendola plenty of space in the return game.

The Bills rank smack in the middle of the pack having allowed 8.6 yards per punt return through Week 10, which isn’t too shabby at first glance. But considering the fact that Amendola gains 13.7 yards every time he fields and returns a punt, it is reasonable that Amendola could present challenges for the Bills’ coverage unit.

Amendola will give the Patriots an early boost by catching a booming Colton Schmidt punt inside his own 20-yard line and navigating his way through the Bills and stiff-arming Schmidt on his way to the end zone.

Williams will be the bright spot for the Bills, but otherwise, the Patriots take control of this game and reach the 30-point mark for the first time in several weeks.
