BLACK FRIDAY GAME
MIAMI (7-3) AT JETS (4-6), 3 p.m.
Dolphins by 9.5; O/U: 41 (Prime Video, Ch. 5)
In promoting the NFL’s first Black Friday Game, Amazon used The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It, Black” as the backdrop. Considering it will be former Packers quarterback Tim Boyle, and not Aaron Rodgers, leading the Jets in the standalone game, let’s change the lyrics from a TV perspective: They see a green door / And they want to take it back. There’s two ways to approach this from a betting angle. Door No. 1: Just lay the points with the Dolphins and all their offensive weapons or Door No. 2: Back the Jets at home in a “nobody believes in us” spot and hope the defense shows up like it did in the Eagles win. Maybe the other offensive players will feed off the much-needed QB change. If Boyle can get the Jets to 10-14 points, they can cover what feels like a semi-inflated number. The Dolphins have mostly been held in check on the road and this is a time for the Jets’ defense to back up the big talk. Ah, if only Rodgers was playing. As Jets fans know all too well, you can’t always get what you want.
The pick: Jets

Patrick Mahomes’ favorite target will make up for this week against a Raiders team he has strong numbers against for his career: 100 catches for 1,289 yards and 10 TDs in 18 games.

LOCK OF THE WEEK
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (7-3) AT HOUSTON TEXANS (6-4), 1 p.m.
Jacksonville -1.5; O/U: 47.5
For whatever reason, Houston owns Jacksonville, holding a 29-14 lead in the all-time series. The Texans had won nine in a row before last season’s Week 17 defeat, which in turn helped them get the No. 2 pick and draft C.J. Stroud. He picked up where his…
