PICK: I’m going to stay with Buffalo. The Bills are coming into this one well-rested after a nice game versus New England. Buffalo posted 355 total yards (223 passing) in that one, along with 22 first downs, 9-of-15 on third-down tries and 38:08 in time of possession.
As for New York, they boasted 486 total yards (366 passing) and 23 first downs against a very good Vikings team in their last outing. The Jets couldn’t get past their dismal 3-of-16 on third-down conversions however, and never really looked like they were in control of the game. This is going to be another tough matchup for New York, and I like Buffalo to get some revenge for the November 6 game.
