Today’s Games

The Detroit Lions are playing the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field and the Baltimore Ravens are playing the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field. Both games are at 1:00 pm EST.

New England Patriots vs. Buffalo Bills

The New England Patriots take on the Buffalo Bills in an AFC East battle at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday at New Era Field. Both teams come into the game bolstered by recent victories.

The Patriots defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 17-10 in Week 11 and hopes to continue their success with another victory against a divisional opponent. In their last outing, New England was able to grind out a victory behind a strong performance from its defense, which allowed only 10 points and sacked Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz four times. The Patriots will look to repeat their defensive dominance as they take on a Bills offense that has struggled at times this season.

Buffalo, meanwhile, enters this matchup after a 20-3 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. The Bills were able to win handily thanks to a strong performance by their defense, which allowed only three points and sacked Dolphins QB Ryan Fitzpatrick five times. The Bills will look to carry that defensive momentum into this matchup against a Patriots offense that has been inconsistent at times this season.

Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets

The Miami Dolphins will be playing the New York Jets today at 1:00 PM EDT. This will be a home game for the Jets, and they are currently favored to win by 3 points.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The Baltimore Ravens are set to take on the Cincinnati Bengals today in an AFC North matchup. This is a pivotal game for both teams, as the Ravens are currently in first place with a 9-6 record and the Bengals are right behind them with an 8-7 record. The winner of this game will claim the AFC North title and earn a spot in the playoffs.

Both teams have strong defenses, so this could be a low-scoring game. The Ravens are led by their star linebacker Terrell Suggs, who has 13 sacks on the season. The Bengals’ defense is anchored by their defensive end Carlos Dunlap, who has 11.5 sacks.

On offense, the Ravens are led by quarterback Joe Flacco, who has thrown for 3,499 yards and 20 touchdowns this season. The Bengals’ offense is spearheaded by quarterback Andy Dalton, who has thrown for 3,406 yards and 25 touchdowns.
