Picks via FOX Sports' Colin Cowherd
"This is a division rival and the Patriots know the personnel. I think New England is going to win a lot of field position battles in this game, too. Four and a half points are a lot of points to give Bill Belichick in a playoff spot.
"I like New England because they recently played and Buffalo put it on them. I also think the Bills are going to win, but they are mistake-prone and give teams opportunities."
PICK: Patriots (+4 at FOX Bet) to lose by fewer than 4 points (or win outright)
