Another Sunday without the Bills. Ah, the burden of being a premier team with a ton of prime time games…

Here’s CJ’s picks for today’s games that you should definitely not use as actual betting advice.

Jets (+6.5) @ Browns: I wouldn’t bet on the Jets to cover a spread, let alone win outright. Browns 23, Jets 10.

Patriots (-3) @ Steelers: The most comically puzzling line of the week. Even without TWatt, the Steelers defense should have no trouble containing Mighty Mac and the Boys. The question is, can Trubisky lead them to enough points? Steelers 19, Patriots 13.

Dolphins (+3.5) @ Ravens: While I am personally rooting for the Dolphins (since we already know they’re going to lose twice to the Bills), I expect this game to go much differently than the last meeting. Ravens 24, Dolphins 23.
