Everything about this game points to the total never reaching the 41-point line.

The Bills will struggle on offense out of the gate with a new coaching staff and the erratic J.P. Losman at quarterback.

The Bills' strength will be on the defensive side of the ball that will have to carry them early on. New England’s defense is a veteran group and will have no problem keeping the Bills in check in the season opener. The last nine meetings between these two division teams that have been played at New England have all gone under the total.

The Bills have gone under the total in seven of their last eight season openers. Buffalo has also gone under the total in eight of their last nine as a division road underdog. New England has gone under the total in their last four games as a favorite of 9.0 or more. The Patriots have gone under the total in seven of their last eight division games.

Play: Under 41 -110
