It’s hard to believe, but there isn’t a single divisional rivalry on the entire NFL Sunday slate! Well, there isn’t until Sunday Night Football when Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills host Drake Maye and the New England Patriots. With this AFC East rivalry, the only divisional one other than the TNF this week, we’ve got our best NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football.

Fans in New England and Buffalo may already get to make their NFL picks with legal sports betting, but we’ve shared how to enjoy NFL predictions in EVERY state other than AL, CO, ID, LA, MI, MT, NV and TN with today’s guaranteed Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus!

NFL Picks, Predictions & Best Bets for Sunday Night Football, 10/5

This past weekend, Josh Allen and the Bills were such massive favorites over the New Orleans Saints that we may not see a more significant one all season. Well, they had to fight to the bitter end, while it was actually the Patriots that cruised to the whopping 42-13 victory (effectively 42-6)!

Ok, it came against the Carolina Panthers at home, but it’s still not something even most New England fans would say that they saw coming. The bad news is that New Orleans just wasted likely the only wakeup call that Buffalo is going to need this season. 

Despite being favorites to win the AFC and the Super Bowl, the Bills were given the easiest schedule in the entire NFL this year. After getting through the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1 (also on SNF), they were likely just in cruise control. Thankfully, we just took Keon Coleman receiving yards last weekend to hit the best bet from our NFL picks on Buffalo.

In other words, we may need to find another Patriots vs. Bills player prop for the NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football.

 

 

 

Sunday Night Football Prediction for Patriots vs. Bills

As you’d expect, Buffalo has owned New England for the past several seasons, as they’ve completely taken over the AFC East since Tom Brady left Foxborough. Over their last 11 meetings, Josh Allen and company have won eight of them.

However, in that same time frame, the Patriots are actually 6-5 against the spread (ATS). As many could likely guess, that’s often what happens when a team like Buffalo becomes dominant, forcing oddsmakers to list them with massive point spreads. Let’s also not forget that we’ve got a revenge game in play.

Stefon Diggs just had a bit of a coming-out party since tearing his ACL (less than a year ago) with 101 yards on six catches. Of course, it won’t be his first game facing his former team, as he also took on the Bills with the Houston Texans just prior to that injury last season, with 82 yards on eight catches.

If New England falls behind early and is forced to throw often, a Stefon Diggs anytime TD could certainly be a part of your NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football.

 

 

 

Patriots vs. Bills Best Bet for NFL Week 5: Rhamondre Stevenson Anytime TD (+231 at Novig)

Whether you start there with your NFL picks for SNF or not, we’re going to keep things going with the anytime touchdown player market. However, this next one may be a tough pill to swallow, especially if you’ve been locked into the Pats this season.

New England has been an RB by committee more often than not, and the days of Rhamondre Stevenson being a bell cow are certainly over. Two weeks ago, fumbling at the goal line put him in the doghouse - at least a bit - so why are we targeting him?

First and foremost, he still received the most carries this past weekend, albeit only nine. You could also simply say it’s his “turn” to get the goal line touches, as not only did RBs TreVeyon Henderson and Antonio Gibson both score against Carolina, but even Drake Maye had a rushing TD!

Stevenson also got in the endzone when the Pats last faced the Bills. If you think this game gets out of hand early, we understand focusing your NFL predictions on Stefon Diggs, but divisional rivalries in prime time can certainly stay closer than expected. 

So, we’ll make the top pick from our NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football on Rhamondre Stevenson to score an anytime TD (+231 at Novig).
