The postseason is fast approaching, and one game could already decide the AFC East title if Drake Maye’s New England Patriots manage to beat Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills this Sunday.
Thousands of fans are speculating about the winner of this matchup, which promises to be exciting, to say the least. And NBA and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James did not stay out of the debate.

LBJ picks his favorite in the Patriots-Bills game
Gillette Stadium will host the Week 15 NFL game between two of the most anticipated teams. Both teams had already faced each other in Week 5, when the Pats visited Highmark Stadium and defeated the home team 20-23.
Now, with the two teams facing off again, King James already has his winner. In collaboration with DraftKings, where he creates NFL-related content, LeBron predicted that victory will go to Josh Allen and his teammates:
“We got 9-4 Bills headed to the 11-2 Patriots. The Patriots have already beaten the Bills. They went into Buffalo and beat them earlier this season,” LeBron began, summarizing, and then added: “I know the Bills are going to be trying to get some payback. The Patriots are playing exceptional football, but I got the Bills getting their payback. I got the Bills going 10-4.”
In addition, James predicted victories for the Chicago Bears, LA Chargers, New York Giants, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Dallas Cowboys, and Cincinnati Bengals.
Meanwhile, New England comes into this game with ten consecutive wins and, if they manage to add one more victory against the Bills, they could clinch their first division title since 2019. This would also mean an end to the Buffalo dynasty, which has held this achievement for six consecutive years. However, the Bills still have hopes of winning it if they beat the Pats and their remaining games and if New England falls to the NY Jets or Miami Dolphins.
In addition, this game could be special for the Bills’ quarterback. According to the Bills’ public relations team, “Josh Allen is set to play in his 125th career game Sunday & needs four touchdowns to reach 300 total TDs in his career. Allen can become the fastest player to ever reach the 300 TD mark and the only one to ever do so before turning 30.” The record is currently held by Aaron Rodgers, who achieved his 300th touchdown in his 134th game.
Meanwhile, with the support of LeBron James, Allen and the Bills will focus their attention on the matchup against Drake Maye and company this Sunday at 1:00 PM ET, which will be broadcast on CBS.
