<div id="subtitle">Great White North welcomes Jets-Bills</div><div><p>The Jets added a championship touch this week by having Yankees manager Joe Girardi work with quarterback Mark Sanchez on his sliding technique.</p><p>Give coach Rex Ryan and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer credit for attending to details. And for finding ways to protect the rookie, who has a sore left knee and wears a brace, hampering his slides.</p><p>"When we bring Joe Girardi in, this is all about business," Ryan said. "Mark understands that. We kid about the 'Sanchise' name, but he's the face of our franchise. We've got to keep him healthy."</p><p>The Bills, who are 3-point underdogs in the game at Rogers Centre in Toronto, lost their starting quarterback, Trent Edwards, to a concussion the last time these teams met. He's healthy now, but has lost his job to Ryan Fitzpatrick.</p><p>Back in October, when Edwards got hurt, in came Fitzpatrick to lead a comeback to a 16-13 overtime win. Against Miami last Sunday, he showed some versatility, scoring on a 31-yard run and throwing a 51-yard TD pass to Terrell Owens.</p><p>He also knows how to slide.</p><p>BILLS, 20-13</p><p></p><p>San Diego (minus 11) at Cleveland</p><p>Chargers thinking about a playoff bye with six straight wins in the bank.</p><p>BEST BET: CHARGERS, 27-7</p><p></p><p>San Francisco (plus 1) at Seattle</p><p>Niners are the better team in most areas.</p><p>UPSET SPECIAL: 49ERS, 17-13</p><p></p><p>Tennessee (plus 7 1/2) at Indianapolis</p><p>Colts can tie consecutive regular-season wins record.
