Week 5 of the NFL schedule presents a big opportunity for the top two contenders in the AFC East when the New England Patriots battle the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football.
A win for New England (2-2) would hand Buffalo (4-0) its first loss while placing the Patriots just one game behind first place. Conversely, Buffalo’s win would provide them a three-game advantage in the division just five weeks into the season. This game will highlight two of the best quarterbacks this season: New England’s Drake Maye and Buffalo’s Josh Allen.
In just four games, Maye has a 109.4 rating with seven touchdown passes to two interceptions. Meanwhile, Allen, who is coming off an MVP season, has a 109.7 rating and seven touchdowns against a single interception.
Several player props can be targeted for these stars, or look to other options like James Cook, Khalil Shakir, and Keon Coleman of Buffalo, or Stefon Diggs, TreVeyon Henderson, or Rhamondre Stevenson of New England.

Top NFL player prop bets for Patriots vs. Bills
After reviewing the props, the SportsLine’s Machine Learning Model specifically suggests taking Patriots tight end Hunter Henry under 40.5 receiving yards (-114 at FanDuel). Henry has fallen under this total in five consecutive road games. In last week’s victory against Carolina, he recorded two receptions for 39 yards and a touchdown. In the previous matchup against Miami, he caught one pass for nine yards.
During 2022, Henry caught 66 passes for 674 yards (10.2 average) with two touchdowns, while registering 40 or fewer receiving yards in eight of those games. This season, the Bills have allowed the least receiving yards per game to opposing tight ends. The model projects Henry to achieve 24.3 receiving yards, rating this prop at 4.5 stars.
