The Buffalo Bills host their third consecutive home game of the season and conditions should once again be the autumnal ideal in Orchard Park.

The new Highmark Stadium has yet to see a game in poor weather. Sunday will be no exception, with temperatures in the mid-60s and mostly sunny skies. With the New England Patriots arriving fresh off a 35-6 defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Josh Allen and the Bills will look to keep their unbeaten streak alive in near-perfect conditions.

the same mostly sunny skies and no precipitation. Winds are predicted to be a bit more active at 10 mph.

Will weather affect Patriots vs. Bills game?

The 3-0 Bills were favored by about a touchdown over the 1-2 New England Patriots as of Friday evening. MVP runner-up Drake Maye has already been responsible for seven turnovers in the young season. The over/under is set at 49.5 points, which might require heavy lifting by a Bills offense leading the league at 33.7 points per game; the Patriots are tied for a league-worst 12 points per game.

With mild temperatures, winds at or near the NFL-standard 7 mph and no precipitation in the forecast, weather isn’t expected to affect the outcome of this rivalry game.

The New England Patriots lead the all-time series against the Buffalo Bills, 80-52-1. Buffalo won their last matchup, 35-31, on Dec. 14, 2025 in Foxboro behind 28 second-half points.
The Bills and Patriots play Sunday, Oct. 4 at 1 p.m. at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park. The game will be broadcast on CBS affiliates, including WROC Channel 8 in Rochester. Ian Eagle and Ross Tucker will call the game with sideline reporter Evan Washburn.
