Patriots Fan Guide

Jacksonville Jaguars (0-2) at Buffalo Bills (2-0): Go Jaguars! No wonder, because the Patriots will be playing against the AFC East in this game. | 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN

Washington Commanders (1-1) at Cincinnati Bengals (0-2): Come on, Commanders! The Patriots may have beaten the Bengals, but they will choose the opposing conference for now. | 8:15 p.m. ET, ABC

Patriots Tips

Oliver Thomas: The Jaguars have scored fewer than 20 points in two consecutive losses. The Bills have topped 30 points in two consecutive wins. I trust Josh Allen against the pass rush of Josh Hines-Allen. | Bills 28, Jaguars 16

Slow starts have become a problem for the Bengals. But with or without Tee Higgins, this is a must-win game at home against rookie starter Jayden Daniels, who has already driven in 26 runs and just picked up his first NFL win. | Bengals 27, Commanders 14

Brian Hines: Jacksonville's offense started the season sluggishly and will struggle to keep up with Josh Allen and Co. Buffalo continues to have a perfect start to the season. | Bills 27, Jaguars 14

With Tee Higgins back in the roster 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 his first win of the season, as he edges out Jayden Daniels, the second overall pick. | Bengals 24, Commanders 14
