The (9-5) New England Patriots will have a third chance to clinch the AFC East on Sunday as they face the (5-9) Buffalo Bills. There are two possible paths for the Patriots to clinch the division for a 10th-straight season.
The Patriots are roughly 14-point favorites over the Bills, so they’re expected to win comfortably, while the Dolphins are 4-point favorites over the Jaguars. In other words, Las Vegas oddsmakers believe that New England is more likely to clinch the division through a victory than by a Dolphins loss.
New England will also have their eyes on the (10-4) Houston Texans playing the second of their back-to-back road games against the (7-7) Philadelphia Eagles.
