Buffalo Bills (7-1) @ New York Jets (2-7)
Sunday, November 15, 1:00 PM ET
The New York Jets are coming off a humbling loss on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs, and with the trade deadline soon to be in the rearview, the Jets will have ultimate clarity regarding which players they are building around for the future, who they are evaluating as possible building blocks, and how many picks they’re going to have to work with overall.
The nice thing for Jets fans is that the team has gotten a really good look at its offensive weapons over the course of the season, and Geno Smith has helped with that. He’s bounced back nicely from the form we saw in Las Vegas, and even though the results are not there from a win/loss perspective, the Jets are seeing that they have a future to be excited about.
The Buffalo Bills are going to do their best to come into the Jets’ house and remind them who is still the “big brother” in the division. The Jets are clearly a league behind Buffalo when it comes to their current contender status, but this is the ideal type of game for them to show some fight.
The Bills are going to be coming off a shorter week after playing the Vikings, a physical matchup against one of the league’s best defenses.
Similar to what we saw against the Chiefs last week, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the Jets hang with the Bills for a little bit with Buffalo pulling away in the second half. The Bills are 7.5-point favorites on the road.
Prediction: Bills win 31-21
