Statistically the hardest game of the week to pick, the Browns and their strong defence take on Geno and the Jets in a rainy game that could get messy in more ways than one. Everyone knows Rex Ryan is gone from NYC at the end of the season, but if Jason Campbell walks in and takes the Jets to school? I think that would put Rex out of work immediately. I like the Browns to score at least one, maybe two defensive TD's in this game, but anyway...
Cleveland @ NY Jets (1pm)
*** Rain Game ***
**Matchup Difficulty: 56.5% **(the higher the score, the better the experts' success rate when picking these two teams. An 'average' matchup would be 62%)

Best Pick Index:**
**
Only two experts have picked the Browns on the road and Jets at home above 70%, and both take the Jets this week. Of the two, Accuscore have been more consistent overall. Let's not even get into what the coin toss thinks!**
