N.Y. Jets at New England<\/strong><\/h3>\nGillette Stadium, Foxborough, Mass.
\nThursday, 8:15 p.m. ET, NFL Network
\n60% chance of rain, 45 degrees, light winds
\nNew York: 6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS, Over 4-4-1
\nNew England: 6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS, Under 6-2-1<\/p>\n
As expected, here are the Patriots and the Jets battling for the lead in the AFC East. Losing QB Tom Brady for the season may not have been part of the plan, but backup Matt Cassel (seven TDs, seven INTs) has picked up the basics. New England is 3-1 SU and ATS in its last four.<\/p>\n
The Jets are also starting to cruise in their first season with QB Brett Favre, winning three in a row and nailing down back-to-back paydays. New York has a +65 point margin to +28 for the Patriots; the case can certainly be made that the Jets are having the better season. But it\u2019s New England laying 3.5 points (+105) on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Favre (16 TDs, 12 INTs) is doing very well in his Broadway debut, even with the return of his penchant for throwing the ball to the other team. But the Jets defense has been the team\u2019s best feature. They\u2019re fifth in the league in stuffing the run at just 3.2 yards allowed per carry. New England is ranked No. 19 at 4.1 yards.<\/p>\n
Despite these numbers, it was the Patriots (-1) beating the Jets 19-10 in Week 2 at Giants Stadium. The total for that game was 37; it\u2019s up to 42 for Thursday, even in lousy weather.

\nSunday, 8:15 p.m. ET, NBC
\n15% chance of rain, 40 degrees, light winds
\nDallas: 5-4 SU, 3-6 ATS, Over 6-3
\nWashington: 6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS, Under 6-2-1<\/p>\n
The Cowboys have gone 1-2 SU and ATS since QB Tony Romo broke his pinkie finger. Romo is widely expected to play this week, as are DB Terence Newman and OG Kyle Kosier. ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.bodogaffiliate.com\/resources\/banners\/sportsbook\/square\/250x250\/250x250a-sportsbook.gif\" "\\"Bodog\\"")
But that hasn\u2019t stopped the panic and confusion in Big D. Coach Wade Phillips is getting hammered in the local press \u2013 as if all these injuries were his fault. RB Felix Jones (hamstring) might return Sunday night as well, although his type of injury is unpredictable.<\/p>\n
NFL betting in the Bodog Sportsbook<\/strong>.<\/p>\nEven Dallas players and owner Jerry Jones say their troubles predated the injury parade, which puts more onus on Phillips as the Cowboys prepare to face the Redskins in a key NFC East matchup \u2013 and they\u2019re all key right now with all four teams above .500. Washington has encountered turbulence at 2-2 SU and 1-3 ATS in its past four games, a significant downgrade from a four-game winning streak that included a 26-24 win in Dallas (with Romo at QB) as a 10.5-point puppy.<\/p>\n
Cleveland at Buffalo<\/strong><\/h3>\nRalph Wilson Stadium, Orchard Park, N.Y.
\nMonday, 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
\n50% chance of snow, 35 degrees, 10 mph winds
\nCleveland: 3-6 SU, 5-4 ATS, Under 5-4
\nBuffalo: 5-4 SU, 4-5 ATS, Under 4-4-1<\/p>\n
The Browns have an extra three days to dust themselves off after that disappointing loss to Denver. The Bills could have used some of that time to heal after a three-game losing skid (SU and ATS) that saw them go from first to worst in the AFC East. QB Trent Edwards wasn\u2019t very good in any of those three starts, partly because of RG Brad Butler\u2019s knee injury. The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle says Butler is expected to return against Cleveland.<\/p>\n
Ralph Wilson Stadium is a notoriously tough place to get a win, even more so in these blustery conditions. The Bills are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 at home. However, the Browns are used to real football weather. They beat the Bills 20-17 here two years ago as 3.5-point underdogs before beating them again at home last year. Cleveland will have uber-prospect Brady Quinn (104.3 QB rating) under center this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
