NY Jets vs Buffalo Bills Prediction
I’m leaning towards the Bills here. I think this game is a step down for the Bills on the road, and I think they can hang around here. The Jets are in one of those rare spots, where they have no bye week after an international game, and even on a Monday night, that’s not enough time to hit the reset button. Teams that come back off the international game with no bye week tend to have issues in the following game, and I don’t really expect that to change here. I think the Bills can get the win here as they were in it nip and tuck with the Texans before a 60-yard field goal ended the game. I’ll side with Buffalo here.
