NFL Bills-Patriots pick

Want to pick tonight’s game but because I didn’t write this earlier, this week’s column will have to be in two parts. So, here at 7:43 p.m. Eastern, this will contain the Thursday pick and then this same space will be updated before Sunday with the rest of the games. Buffalo (-3.5) over New England [...]
