Bill Belichick's New England Patriots will travel to Highmark Stadium on Sunday for a rematch against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on CBS and Paramount+. The Patriots fell to the Bills when the teams faced off on December 1, but Mac Jones and company are looking for momentum after beating the Miami Dolphins, 23-21 last week. Meanwhile, the AFC North-leading Bills only played a few minutes of their Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals before the game was called off due to the medical emergency involving safety Damar Hamlin. You can stream the game in select markets on Paramount+, which you can try free for seven days.

Kickoff from Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York is set for 1 p.m. ET.

Week 18 NFL picks for 

Before tuning into Sunday's Bills vs. Patriots game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up more than $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 17 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 158-113 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 14-6 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of this season.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

For Bills vs. Patriots, the model is picking Buffalo to cover the spread. The Bills defeated the Patriots by 14 at Gillette Stadium in December and had consecutive 30-plus point games leading up to last week's cancelled game against the Bengals. Even with the emotional toll of the week, Buffalo's offense will be difficult for New England's defense to contain. The Patriots will be the more desperate team since they haven't locked down a playoff spot yet, but the Bills could still have an edge, according to the model. You may be able to stream the game here.
