Bills vs. Jets Week 10 Odds & Trends
A letdown wasn’t entirely unexpected last week against the Colts after the Jets stunned the Bengals, 34-31, the week before.
And so it was that the euphoria of their second win of the season quickly vanished when Indianapolis claimed a 45-30 victory on their home field. The Jets are now winless on the road this season but will receive the Bills at MetLife Stadium this week.
There were few bright spots in a loss that was even more lopsided than the score indicated. Mike White, the architect of the Jets’ huge win over the Bengals the week before, injured his arm and was sidelined for the remainder of the game.
The Jets’ run-stop unit employed the matador defense as Indy’s Jonathan Taylor must have heard, “ole’”, every time he carried the ball through a porous New York defensive line. Taylor ended with a whopping 172 yards and two touchdowns.
The backup’s backup, Josh Johnson, was New York’s lone bright spot as he tossed for 317 yards and three touchdowns while 11 Jets’ receivers all had catches.
“Josh, thought he did an awesome job coming in, running the offense exactly the way, it’s supposed to be played — hitting the open receiver, just moving the chains,” said head coach Robert Saleh. “We just need to be able to match their defensive intensity.”
Hot Take
The Bills had issues with the Dolphins in Week 8 before they woke up in the fourth quarter and drew away to a 26-11 victory. Last week, that malaise clearly lingered as they were stunned by the lowly Jaguars in a 9-6 loss that nobody saw coming.
The big question is, who plays quarterback for the Jets this week? Zach Wilson is trending towards returning as is Mike White. Ironically, the only time this offense has looked alive is with either White or Johnson under center. And while we’re at it, which Bills’ team shows up?
The NFL odds at all of the best online books are installing Buffalo as a solid 13-point road favorite across the board. If you’re leaning towards Buffalo, it’s a lot of points to give up for a team that looked so offensively inept last week. But then again, New York’s defense ranks the very worst in points allowed (31.4 PPG), 29th against the pass (274.9 YPG), and 27th against the run (133.3 YPG).
