The "experts" take week 13 - Browns at Bills

These teams are very evenly matched and both have a lot to play for. Have to give Bills slight edge due to home field, although that has not meant much this year. I expect the Browns to try to duplicate the Dolphins' Thursday night game plan, with lots of short passes and runs, so as not to over expose Hoyer to the Bills' pass rush.

NFL picks: Despite slow Thanksgiving, playoff intrigue abounds in Week 13

Since a 34-30 Browns win in the first round of the 1989-90 playoffs, these two Rust Belt teams have met with winning records after Thanksgiving just once, a snowy affair in December 2007 in which Cleveland came away with an 8-0 victory. The tortured fans in Cleveland and Buffalo don’t have any Super Bowl trophies to taunt each other with, but Browns backers can claim a more recent playoff berth than Bills partisans: 2002 for Cleveland and 1999 for Buffalo. Alas, there is one constant these franchises have in common: If the AFC playoffs started today, both would be on the outside looking in. Still, progress has been made on the opposing shores of Lake Erie.
