The 0-3 New York Jets and the 0-3 Miami Dolphins will square off tonight in South Florida. New York will have Justin Fields back behind center after missing last week with a concussion and he has played well. Fields has thrown for 245 yards with one TD, no picks, and has rushed for 97 yards and two scores. Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa is highly overrated and is showing his true colors. He has thrown for 575 yards with 5 touchdowns but has 4 picks and a passer rating of 87.1. The Jets are winless but in Week 1 they gave the Pittsburgh Steelers all they could handle, losing a close one 34-32, and last week they gave the Tampa Bay Bucs a run for their money, losing another close one 29-27. The Dolphins are averaging only 18.7 points per game, are allowing an average of 32.3, and they have a banged up secondary that Justin Fields will be able to exploit.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK JETS +2½

The Buffalo Bills are going to whack the Baltimore Ravens today and this is why. They always win at Rich and have the best QB on the planet behind center, Josh Allen. Moreover, they have 80 thousand Mafia guys behind them. Forget about it.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS

Tonight’s NFC Wild Card game will be at Raymond James Stadium where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the Washington Commanders. Both of these teams were hot down the stretch, with Washington winning their last 5 and Tampa winning 6 of their last 7. The Bucs have already beaten the Commanders earlier this year in Tampa, cruising to an easy 37-20 victory. Tampa’s QB, Baker Mayfield, has been overshadowed by the likes of Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, but he shouldn’t be. Mayfield has thrown for 4,500 yards with 41 touchdowns and if that doesn’t put fear in the Commanders defense, I don’t know what will. Washington’s QB, Jayden Daniels, has had a great rookie season, but he is still a rookie and will make mistakes.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS M/L

The Buffalo Bills will wrap up the regular season today against the New England Patriots in Foxboro. The Patriots would be guaranteed the #1 pick in next year’s draft with a loss today against the Bills. Pats coach Jerod Mayo says they want to end the season on a winning note but I’m not buying that for a second. When you are 3-13, you want the #1 pick and that’s that. Buffalo has the second seed in the AFC locked up and will be resting a lot of their starters, but Josh Allen will start behind center. Even if Allen plays only a quarter, the best in the business will do some damage and that is all it will take for the Bills to walk away with a victory.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS M/L

The Detroit Lions want the top seed in the NFC so they will be extra motivated tonight when they travel to Santa Clara to take on the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners are eliminated from postseason play so they have nothing to play for, and they will be without arguably the best player in football, Christian McCaffrey, and they are not the same without him. The Lions are currently laying 3.5 but don’t sweat the points. Take Detroit on the money line.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DETROIT LIONS M/L

The 5-10-0 New Orlean Saints will be a home dog today against the pathetic 3-12-0 Las Vegas Raiders? The Raiders are a laughingstock and are just 1-7-0 on the road. The Saints should win this outright, but they are giving you 2 so take it.
TODAY’S PICK: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS +2

With a win today against the New England Patriots in Foxboro, the LA Chargers will be playoff bound. The Chargers have Justin Herbert behind center, who is a superstar in the making with 18 TDs and only 3 picks on the season, and they will carve up a mediocre-at-best New England defense.
TODAY’S PICK: LOS ANGELES CHARGERS M/L
