New England, at 7-2, has been rejuvenated under new head coach and former player Mike Vrabel. They comfortably sit atop the AFC East as the Bills — with a 5-2 record at the time of this writing — has had a tough time closing the gap. The Bucs will face a tough, winning football team much like the Eagles and Lions which are the two teams they have struggled against this season.
Next week’s game between the Bucs and Patriots is scheduled for next Sunday with kickoff set for 1:00 PM ET.
