Key Details
New York Jets
The New York Jets this season have been a nightmare, and it continues to get worse, with a lack of interceptions and turnovers. This Jets defense has been atrocious, allowing around 30 points a game, and having no turnovers all season, for a roster with an elite defensive-minded coach. New York’s offense has also been poor, with every quarterback they had all season being poor and not playing well. The Jets are hoping to end the season on a high note and hope to get a better season, even with poor ownership and horrid head coaching.
Buffalo Bills
This season for the Buffalo Bills feels like it could be their last shot at a Super Bowl, with Josh Allen having another strong season for them. The Bills’ offense has been inconsistent with Allen, who, while a great player, can’t carry the team, and has a weak run game. While the players could get rest, the defense has been playing well, even with the injuries to the linebackers and defensive front. This season could be a great start to the Bills’ playoff run, in hopes of winning a Super Bowl in February.
Prediction
While the Buffalo Bills should be resting starters, they could have a fun game against the New York Jets to end the season on a high note. With the Bills clinching a playoff spot, bettors could take the Jets, but the Bills’ backups are solid players and could make this a close win against their rivals. With the season ending soon, bettors could see the Buffalo Bills win against the New York Jets but not cover due to the chance that the backups could start the game against them.
