New York Jets: 3 Bold predictions vs. Bills in Week 9
2. Team rushes for 150+ yards and multiple TDs
Do you remember the game the Jets had against the Jaguars? I know, right, it feels like ages ago. In that game, tandem of Elijah McGuire and Bilal Powell rushed for 8.3 yards per carry and two touchdowns. That was against one of the league’s worst run defenses, though.

The Bills come into town with a top-five run defense. That run defense had allowed only 80.1 yards per game and 3.5 yards per carry, which ranks them fourth in the NFL. You’d think that would leave the Jets scratching their heads on a short week.
However, they will finally figure out to give the running backs more carries as was suggested by Matt Forte in a press conference. It won’t be Forte receiving more carries, though. It will be Powell and McGuire receiving them. The offensive line will open holes, and the duo will find them.
They will also do something else against this Bills team that hasn’t been done much. They will find the end zone. Each running back will score at least one touchdown, despite the Bills only having given up five so far this season. It will show the coaching staff it’s time to move on from Forte.
