Bills vs Jets Prediction
The Jets are coming into this game as a 12.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets have looked much better on offense in their recent games with Mike White at the quarterback position. He will be able to keep them in the game if he is the starter, and the Jets actually have a winning record at home this season. The Bills are coming into this one off of a 9-6 loss to the Jaguars and that is just a pathetic loss for a team that could end up going to the Super Bowl this season. The Bills have not been playing well on offense recently and if those problems are not fixed they could struggle to win this game. The best bet to place in this game is on the Jets to cover the spread here IF MIKE WHITE IS THE STARTER.
