The New York Jets visit the Buffalo Bills this Sunday in a pivotal AFC East matchup. Both teams are coming off losses. The Jets lost 16-12 to the Raiders in week 10. The Jets’ defense held the Raiders to a very low score of 16, but the Jets’ offense was the problem, and will still be a problem this Sunday against the Bills.

The Bills suffered a devastating loss on Monday night to the Denver Broncos. The Bills turned the ball over 4 times this game. This included 2 interceptions and a fumbled handoff from Josh Allen, and one more fumble from running back James Cook. Despite the high turnovers the Bills kept the game within reach, but costly penalties proved to be too much to overcome. The Broncos won 24-22 with a buzzer beater field goal.

Both the Bills and Jets need a win to keep their playoff aspirations alive. I believe the Bills are in borderline panic mode which plays into my prediction. Read my Jets vs. Bills Prediction, Pick, and Odds below.

Jets vs. Bills Prediction

The Jets’ defense is holding opponents to an average of 19 points per game. Overall, the Jets’ defense ranks 6th, allowing an average of 308 yards per game.  This is elite level defense, and I do not expect that to change anytime soon. The one defensive weakness they have is the rushing defense, it currently ranks 31st. The Jets allow an average of 138 rushing yards per game. The Jets’ offense is terrible, ranking 29th averaging 283 yards per game. I do not expect the offense to all of a sudden light it up against the Bills. As with every Jets game this season, they will rely heavily on their defense to win this game. There is a small chance they can do that with the Bills.

The Bills offense is ranked 7th, averaging 370 yards per game. The offense is productive, but only when Josh Allen and the Bills are not turning the ball over. This is a big issue, and that was glaringly obvious against the Broncos. The Bills’ defense is average, ranking 17th overall, allowing an average of 331 yards per game. I expect the Bills to limit production from Zach Wilson and the Jets’ offense. The Bills will be able to put up at least 20 points, if they do not turnover the ball.

The Bills have fired their offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey after their loss to the Broncos. Former quarterbacks coach Joe Brady is the new offensive coordinator. This is pure speculation, but perhaps the change will result in better decision making and better game planning against the Jets in week 11. Coaching changes usually light a fire in a team’s locker room, I expect the Bills to win this revenge game handily, especially at home. My bet is on the Bills -7.
