NFL Week 9 Bills Jets
The Buffalo Bills and New York Jets will kick things off in the NFL this week when they meet for Thursday Night Football. The game will be played at MetLife Stadium, and is scheduled to begin at 8:30 PM. ET.
Buffalo Bills Analysis
The Bills have been quietly flying under the radar this season, but after their win over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, it is safe to say the Bills are one of the best teams in the NFL.
The fact that they are very good this season has been a surprise because the team wasn’t expected to finish better than third in the AFC this year.
The Bills have found success this season with a strong running game, a pretty good defense, and a quarterback that has taken good care of the ball.
With games against the Jets, Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Chargers, and Indianapolis Colts left on their schedule, the Bills are realistically a playoff contender as long as they keep playing well.
New York Jets Analysis
The Jets have been a roller coaster of emotions this season. They started off with a two game losing streak, then reeled off three straight wins, and have now lost three straight games. The good news for the Jets and their fans is despite the inconsistencies they have shown this season, this team will be very good in the future.
The Jets could easily be 6-2 right now, but they’ve had a tendency to blow leads late in games, which has cost them their last three games. Against the Patriots, they had a 14 point lead that they lost in the second half. The same happened against the Miami Dolphins, who they allowed to come back from a 28-14 lead last week to win the game in overtime.
This week, they had a one point lead against the Atlanta Falcons going into the 4th quarter, but couldn’t hold on again and lost the game.
NFL Week 9 Betting Pick and Prediction
The Bills are favored to win by 3.5 points, the over/under on total points scored is 42.5.
The Bills have won four of their last five and three of those wins were by at least seven points. Take the Bills -3.5.
