And the reason the Bills have a fairly good chance at pulling off the upset goes well beyond the fact they could easily be 2-0 instead of 0-2 or that they will be riding an emotional tidal wave from a sellout crowd that has put the Patriots ahead of the Miami Dolphins (or at least on a par with them) for "most hated" rival or that Drew Bledsoe thrives on any opportunity to get some measure of payback from the team that sent him packing.
This comes down to the fact the Bills present the strongest defensive challenge the Patriots have faced this season. Thanks largely to the addition of a top-quality running back in Corey Dillon, the Pats have gone three-and-out only once in two games. But that was against the soft defensive fronts of the Colts and Arizona Cardinals. The Bills will provide far greater resistance, especially with the exceptional play from Sam Adams at defensive tackle.
