Jets Viewed as a Live Underdog Against the Bills

The Bills face the Jets on the road in an intriguing AFC East matchup. Buffalo is laying 8.5 points, although 7.5-point lines are also available. That is a difficult number to cover on the road, and the Jets could keep the game close or potentially win outright.

Geno Smith has not done a terrible job for the Jets this year, despite entering this game with a somewhat battered offense. Josh Allen and the Bills have also experienced flat performances in road games they were expected to dominate. A beautiful day in the New York-New Jersey area could further benefit the Jets.

Questions remain about whether Buffalo’s defense has truly improved or has simply benefited from its recent opponents. The Bills have allowed plenty of points this season, making the Jets’ team total over another possible play for anyone hesitant to take the points.

With Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall healthy, the Jets are closer to having their full complement of offensive players than they have been for much of the season. That gives them a chance to stay competitive against a Buffalo defense that has repeatedly shown it can be scored on.

The game total is 50.5. If the Jets remain within striking distance, the matchup may need to stay under that number. Managing the score could be important for New York, as a higher-scoring game would likely favor Buffalo.
