Bills-Patriots kick off week filled with playoff-type games

Associated Press  

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills head to New England looking for their first division win of the season. The Bills already lost to Miami and the New York Jets and will face all three of their division rivals over the next three weeks as the jumbled AFC East has a chance to send four teams to the playoffs. BEST BET: CHIEFS, 30-23 Washington at New York Giants The Giants try to snap a two-game losing streak and prevent Taylor Heinicke from buying another pair of Air Jordans. UPSET SPECIAL: GIANTS, 20-17 Cleveland at Houston Deshaun Watson’s return to the NFL should feature plenty of handoffs to Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. LIONS, 23-22 New York Jets at Minnesota If Mike White beats the Vikings on the road, he should get a statue at a rest stop on the New Jersey turnpike.
