Buffalo Bills (2-7) at New York Jets (3-6)

Sunday, November 11, 1PM ET

Another week, and another miserable matchup that will have NFL fans everywhere laughing at the lack of watchability. Unfortunately, I have to make a pick for every game — even the pointless, pathetic ones that no one cares about.

So I’m rolling with the New York Jets here.

Both clubs have been awful this year. After a strong first outing, the Jets have bumbled through the rest of the season, as Sam Darnold has crashed and burned as the starter. The running game has been strong and the defense is adequate, but the rookie’s lack of success has stunted their ability to win games consistently.

As for the Buffalo Bills, it’s been a season worth forgetting. Apart from two fluky wins against the Vikings and Titans, they’ve been a complete disaster. Even if they opt to go with Matt Barkley in Week 10, the offense shouldn’t fair much better than it did with Nathan Peterman.

Here’s how the Jets win this one: play smart defense and run the ball early and often. That’ll allow them to run out the clock and keep the ball out of Darnold’s hands. As long as they avoid turning the ball over, New York should walk away with the W in Week 10.

Prediction: Jets win 13-3
