While both teams are firmly in the playoff picture, they\u2019re battling for the AFC East crown, so organizational motivation is theoretically equal here. However, I think the Patriots have a huge situational advantage, as they\u2019re coming off a bye week while Buffalo had to battle the elements and Joe Burrow\u2019s Bengals before winning a shootout, 39-34. While that was a great win, I wonder how much of a physical and emotional toll that game took out of the Bills, and they\u2019ll now have to travel to Foxboro to take on Drake Maye and the Patriots. TSI projects New England -1 here, and we\u2019re seeing the market slowly start to drift that way, so don\u2019t be surprised if this closes as a pick \u2018em or with the Patriots favored.<\/p>\n
NFL Pick: New England Patriots +1<\/p>\n
Daniel Jones is out for Indianapolis with an Achilles injury, which has the market in a hurry to back the Seahawks here; however, TSI only projects Seattle -3 with a healthy Jones, and while he\u2019s been way better than anticipated this season, he\u2019s not worth 10.5 points to the spread. The Colts are 3-1 ATS so far this season as underdogs, although in fairness, Seattle is 8-2 ATS as favorites, but have a tricky spot here with a Thursday Night showdown with the Rams looming next week, so it makes sense that they\u2019d want to just get in and get out of this game healthy with a win, not worrying about margin. I\u2019d keep an eye on the market to see if a +14 pops up, but I\u2019d still play it at 13.5, as I think this is a good number and spot for the Colts.<\/p>\n
NFL Pick: Indianapolis Colts +13.5<\/p>\n
