Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets Betting Preview
Josh Allen is one of the front runners when looking at NFL MVP Odds for the 2023 season. Allen a season ago, NFL Player Stats show he rushed for 762 yards while passing for more than 4,200.
Allen also threw 35 touchdowns with 14 interceptions. He was sacked 33 times in the game. His top target was Stefon Diggs, with 1,429 yards and 11 touchdowns on the season.
Buffalo will use their tight end Dalton Kincaid, who was their first-round pick out of Utah. Kincaid was the 26th overall pick. Kincaid will likely play behind Dawson Knox, who finished with 517 yards and six touchdowns a season ago. He was the third receiver for Buffalo last season behind Diggs and Davis.
The run game will feature James Cook, and Damien Harris will back him up. Cook was third on the team a season ago, with 89 carries and 507 yards, with just two touchdowns. Harris will be in his first season with the Bills. The Buffalo Bills odds saw them as the favorite in almost every game a season ago.
Jets’ Quarterback Carousel
The New York Jets are about Aaron Rodgers. That’s all anyone wants to talk about when discussing this team. It’s probably for good reason, as the quarterback play was less than effective, with 15 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Zach Wilson gave it a shot and played nine games, while Mike White got four starts and Joe Flacco five.
The Jets are excited to get a full season of Breece Hall. The running back played just seven games a season ago. He should get carries but will likely have to split them with Dalvin Cook, who was signed after his career with the Vikings.
Looking at the NFL team stats, Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, and Mecole Hardman Jr. will be the top three in the receiving core for the Jets. Wilson anchored the offense a season ago with 1,103 yards and four touchdowns.
Lazard comes over with Rodgers from Green Bay, while Hardman was with the Chiefs. New York Jets picks are going to be interesting as oddsmakers see what this team can do with the new talent on the roster.
Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets Betting Prediction
There is a ton of hype on Aaron Rodgers coming to the New York Jets. The time is here, and it will be his first game as the signal caller of the Jets. There is also a lot of pressure on the 39-year-old.
Looking at the past NFL standings, the Buffalo Bills have been the dominant team in the division, and now they are being questioned by a new quarterback coming into the division. That will not settle well for the Buffalo squad. This is not going to go well for the New York Jets.
The Bills are going to be determined, and we know they are skilled. Barring any late additions to the NFL injury report, this game is going to the Buffalo Bills.
