Buffalo Bills (-3) over Cleveland Browns

Simply put, I think Buffalo is the better team.

The Bills opened as 1-point favorites, somewhat inexplicably, but in their home building, that number quickly jumped to three. If you have Buffalo with a slimmer margin, congratulations to you, but even at a field goal spread, the better team should win with home field advantage.

Cleveland was soundly outplayed at times during their miraculous win over Atlanta in Week 12, and Brian Hoyer on the road in Buffalo scares me to death. It isn’t exactly a “fade the public” play in its purest form, but the Bills are definitely not a “sexy” team by any stretch, and there is value here.
