Final Say

You have one of the worst defenses facing off against one of the best offenses that need this win to clinch their division. The Bills did it earlier this season and they shouldn’t have an issue doing it against versus a team that may have just fully exerted themselves last week at home against Tom Brady, not to mention they could use the loss for draft position purposes. The Bills have a good recipe going against the crappy teams where they’ve gone 4-1-2 ATS this season versus teams with losing records. Their defense also hasn’t given up over 300 yards in five of their last six games. Roll with the Bills to clinch the AFC East in blowout fashion at home.

Pick: Buffalo Bills -16
