The New England Patriots will face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday — the second meeting this season between the AFC East teams. In Week 16, the Patriots led 14-0 at Highmark Stadium but ultimately lost 24-21.
New England is first in the 2025 NFL draft order following the New York Giants' win over the Indianapolis Colts last week. However, they will likely drop from that spot if they win on Sunday.
Let's take a look at the weather conditions expected at Gillette Stadium for the Week 18 game.

Weather forecast for Bills vs. Patriots on Sunday
When the Buffalo Bills and the New England Patriots clash at Gillette Stadium, the weather will be typical for this time of the year, with wind and chilly temperatures.
At Foxborough, kickoff temperatures are predicted to be in the low 30s with a precipitation probability of less than 10%. The National Weather Service predicts 13-15 mph winds with gusts of up to 28 mph.
This weather forecast is not surprising because the New England region has consistently chilly temperatures during this time of the year. The two teams, who are accustomed to playing in the cold, should find these conditions favorable since there is no snow in the forecast.
Although a slight increase in unpredictability is expected due to the wind gust, it shouldn't have a significant impact on the game.
How to watch Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots in Week 18
A win or a defeat against the New England Patriots has no bearing on the Buffalo Bills, who secured the AFC's No. 2 seed last week and the AFC East several weeks ago.
The backup players will get a good chance to prove themselves and show off their abilities as Buffalo is expected to rest most of its starters.
Despite being in a strong position to own the first selection in the 2025 draft with a defeat, Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said that rookie quarterback Drake Maye is expected to play and that the team is focused on winning in Week 18.
