Bills get unexpected ally in bid to spoil Patriots’ most important game

All eyes are on the Patriots this week, as they welcome the Bills to Gillette Stadium for what is already being deemed the biggest game in the franchise's history since what turned out to be Tom Brady's final game.

With a win, the Patriots steal the AFC East for the first time in five years, and with a loss, the Bills' hope of remaining the top dog in the division stays alive. Fortunately for New England, though, a loss doesn't eliminate them from winning the division. It would add a lot more pressure to win the remaining games, and they would have to prove they can overcome that.

We've already seen their attitude coming into this week's matchup is spot on, as they embrace the underdog status they have been given and the added motivation of watching their opponents be miserable by losing then division.

But the problem is going to be the weather, which most would suggests favors Buffalo, especially after how they played against the Bengals last week.

The weather in Foxboro might become a factor in the Patriots biggest game of the season

Earlier on Sunday morning, when reporters and players were arriving at the stadium, it was snowing in Foxboro and already seeing temperatures below freezing.

Although the Patriots have to deal with that every year, it's not something this year's team has played in yet, and the Bills are coming off a snowy game in Buffalo where they capitalized on the Bengals' snowy mistake.

It is still expected to snow lightly during the game, which isn't exactly what any fan wants to see, but hopefully, the Patriots won't let it become a storyline in their quest to regain the divisional title.

It would be good to see the Bills crumble under pressure, as they have done a lot of over the last five years, and make more mistakes that help their rival.

But in general, it would be most beneficial if the weather didn't become a part of the game in any capacity.
