The Buffalo Bills are no strangers to high-profile games with Josh Allen, and Sunday will be the biggest one of the year.

Rolling into Gillette Stadium, the Bills will be looking to stop the New England Patriots from clinching the division, something they've had control over for the past five years as champs.

But there appears to be a changing of the guard in the division, particularly this season, and with the Bills needing a win to close the gap and hold off the Patriots' celebration for a week or so, this game has plenty riding on it.

For NFL.com's Brooke Cersosimo, in predicting Sunday's game, has gone with the 28-25 win for Buffalo.

"New England's MVP candidate could make a big statement this week," Cersosimo wrote. "I'm not ruling that out. I'm just not ready to hand the division over yet -- even though the Pats could end up winning it eventually -- with Allen and the been-there-done-that Bills coming off a big win and ready to fight for what's been theirs for the last half-decade."

Bills' AFC East dominance on the line vs. Patriots

For the past five years, the Bills have been the bullies of the AFC East, with Allen and Sean McDermott having their way with the division.

But now with Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye, the Patriots have the ammunition to go toe-to-toe with the Bills, and on Sunday, we will get to see if there is truly a shift in the AFC East pecking order.

Granted, winning one division likely won't change the overall perception of the Bills, but it will certainly give the vibe that the AFC East is no longer a one-horse race.

And if the Patriots do win on Sunday and claim the division, the Bills will no longer be the schoolyard bully of the division... They'll have someone capable of standing up to them.
