New York Jets Betting Preview

The Jets have gone 1-4 over the last five games. They are coming off of a 19-9 defeat against the Los Angeles Rams. Prior to that defeat, they won 32-25 over the Jacksonville Jaguars so they have at least some positive experience heading into this matchup.

They had a slim lead at the half, but failed to produce more offense in the second. They also allowed the Rams to get 13 points in the fourth quarter to put the game in their favor. Aaron Rodgers completed 28 of 42 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown, but is listed as questionable for this upcoming showdown.

Despite having more yards (321 to 242) and possession of the ball for about 32 minutes, the Jets were unable to capitalize on key scoring opportunities. They also had two costly turnovers, with one of them coming late in the game they eventually led to points or the Rams.

The Jets are 24th in the league for averaging 19.5 points a game. Their defense is about league average at 15th, as they allow opponents to put up 22.9 points a game. This slightly negative correlation does not bode well for their chances.

Buffalo Bills Betting Preview

The Bills are a win away from tying their regular season record of 13 wins. They are riding a two-game win streak, with their recent victory being a 24-21 outing against the New England Patriots.

Josh Allen led with 16 of 29 passes totaling 154 yards, a touchdown, and one bad interception. However, he was hurt in the second half due to a hard hit on his throwing arm and is listed as questionable for this game. They were down 14-7 before storming back in the third quarter with a 10-0 run.

Each team had good offense to supply an appealing performance, but turnovers were a big part of this ending. The Bills had one, but were able to force three total on the Patriots.

The Bills are averaging 31.3 points a game, which is second in the league. Their defense ranks 11th in giving up 22.1 points to opponents a game.
