Patriots rooting guide
Jacksonville Jaguars (0-2) at Buffalo Bills (2-0): Go Jaguars! No surprise, as the Patriots will side against the AFC East in this one. | 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
Washington Commanders (1-1) at Cincinnati Bengals (0-2): Go Commanders! While the Patriots did beat the Bengals, they’ll go for the opposing conference for now. | 8:15 p.m. ET, ABC
Patriots picks
Oliver Thomas: The Jaguars have been held under 20 points in back-to-back losses. The Bills have eclipsed 30 points in back-to-back wins. I’ll trust Josh Allen against the pass rush of Josh Hines-Allen. | Bills 28, Jaguars 16
The slow starts have become a thing for the Bengals. But with or without Tee Higgins, this is a gotta-have-it game at home against rookie starter Jayden Daniels, who has already rushed 26 times and is fresh off his first NFL win. | Bengals 27, Commanders 14
Brian Hines: Jacksonville’s offense has been sluggish to start the season and will have trouble keeping pace with Josh Allen and Co. Buffalo stays perfect to begin the season. | Bills 27, Jaguars 14
With Tee Higgins back in the lineup for the first time this season, Cincinnati’s offense should get back on track in Week 3. That should be enough for Joe Burrow to secure their first victory of the season as he out-duels No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels. | Bengals 24, Commanders 14
