Boston is a football city all-year long, but come Saturday, Jan. 15, things are going to get a lot more serious.
The home-town New England Patriots are set to playing the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium, the first official game of the playoff season. The game is scheduled to start at 8:15 p.m., and we all know these sorts of events are more fun with friends and food.
The Patriots are coming in strong with 10 wins, but the Bills are ahead with 11. Now that you have all the information, it's the time to ask the real question: Where are you going to watch the game?
