Bills vs. Jets Betting Preview: Can New York Cover?

Staying into divisional matchups, let's go to the AFC East. Bills face the Jets on the road. Interesting matchup here for the Bills. They're laying eight and a half. That's a tough number to cover on the road. Geno Smith not done a terrible job for the Jets this year. This feels like a spot that they could step up, cover, and maybe even win. I mean, sometimes in years past, we've gotten these flat spots from Josh Allen in games that we expect the Buffalo Bills to roll. Most times those games come on the road. This might not be the most friendly environment for Josh Allen. It is a beautiful day here, I will say, in the New York, New Jersey area, which the Jets do not often get for home games. So that is another thing that I think could work in the benefit of the New York Jets here. But Geno Smith going into this game, I think, with a bit of a battered-up offense, but 8.5 is a big number. I might be looking at the Jets here. Yeah, I can understand that. I think there's a little weirdness going on in the market where people are saying, oh, look, the Bills defense is starting to play better. Are they, or are they just facing Carson Wentz? Max Brosmer and Fagnano the last couple of weeks. Like I think, I think that's more what the bills defense has seen. So I'm not going to give them too much credit yet because they've given up a ton of points this year. I think the team total over for the jets is in play as well. If you just don't even want to worry about necessarily trying to cover the seven and a half, that's also an intriguing spot there potentially, but I'm with you. I think the jets are very much in this contest here and I'm not necessarily thinking that the bills are all world in terms of dominating teams because they've shown us time and time again, You could score on this defense, and you also got a healthy Garrett Wilson, healthy Breeze Hall. All of a sudden, the Jets are at full complement, which is something they haven't really had all season. As you saw in the graphic there, there are seven and a halves out there as well. Fifty and a half is the total for this game. I think if the Jets stay in this one, it's probably going to have to stay under. Fifty and a half is a type of game that I think really favors the Bills today, as well as the New York Jets offense has looked throughout points of this season. I think this is a game they're going to want to try to manage the score.
