We've reset the Play of the Day with fresh bankrolls and turned it into a yearly competition. Our three sports writers have restarted with $10,000 bankrolls to continue using on odds from the South Point.

New York Jets minus-1.5 vs. Buffalo Bills: $550 to win $500

I love Bills coach Rex Ryan trolling his former employer, including making IK Enemkpali a team captain months after Enemkpali broke Geno Smith’s jaw while still a member of the Jets. But it’s a good thing Ryan had his fun during the week, because it won’t be good tonight.

These teams aren’t that far apart talent-wise and New York has just a one-game advantage in the standings. That’s going to grow to two tonight, though, because the Bills rushing game isn’t going to be able to go anywhere against the Jets’ defensive front.

The only real concern is quarterback Tyrod Taylor getting loose and creating some big plays, so as long as New York keeps him relatively contained, I think the Jets get out with a 7-10 point victory.

Current Standings (as of July 1): Brewer (21-17, $10,730), Bern (14-20, $8,005), Keefer (14-27-2, $4,901)

Lifetime standings: 2014-15 Champion Bern (95-93-1), Keefer (98-111-4), Brewer (90-104-2)
