The Jets are coming into this game as a 17 point underdog with the current betting odds and best odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets are coming off of a very good game against the Buccaneers that they might have won had they kicked a field goal on 4th and 2 instead of going for it. They still played very well in that game and they gave Tom Brady and the defending Super Bowl Champions a big scare in that game. The Bills are coming off of a 14 point win over the Falcons but they really struggled in that game and Josh Allen threw 3 interceptions in that game. The Bills have already made the NFL playoffs, they still need to clinch their division but they may not try their hardest in this game knowing that they have already locked up a Wild Card spot at least. The best bet to place in this game is on the Jets to cover the spread here as they played really well against the Bucs in their last game and they will want to carry that play over into this game and finish their season off strong.
