Bills an offensive disaster
The Buffalo Bills come into this game on a four-game losing streak after suffering a 41-9 loss at home to the Bears. They have been held to single digits in scoring over their last three games. Buffalo is now 2-7 overall, 3-6 against the spread and 6-3 with the under. They had their 6-game under streak broken in last week’s loss.
Buffalo is averaging just 10.7 points and 274.3 yards per game on offense this year, right near the bottom of the NFL in most categories. Rookie quarterback Josh Allen continues to deal with an elbow injury and is questionable to return this week. If he is unable to go, the Bills will have to turn to either Derek Anderson, Nathan Peterman or Matt Barkley. As a whole, the Bills QB’s have thrown for 1,593 yards and three touchdowns with 16 interceptions this year. The Run game isn’t much better as Chris Ivory is the leader with 280 yards while LeSean McCoy has only 267 yards. Ivory is questionable for the game as well with a shoulder injury. Defensively, the Bills are allowing 26.8 points and 327.3 yards per game this year. Their run game is giving up just 101.7 yards per game. The unit has 22 sacks while forcing 13 turnovers.
Jets also on a skid
The New York Jets are also on a skid, losing three straight coming into Sunday following a 13-6 loss at Miami last weekend. The Jets are now 3-6 overall, 3-6 against the spread and 5-4 with the under. They have hit the under in their last two games.
New York is also struggling on offense, averaging just 22 points and 324.9 yards per game this season. Rookie QB Sam Darnold has struggled, throwing for 1,934 yards and 11 touchdowns with 14 interceptions. He will miss Sunday’s game with a foot injury, which puts Josh McCown on the field for the first time this season. McCown could have the Jets top two receivers returning to action as Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa are listed as probable to come back from ankle injuries. The Jets have been led offensively this season by Isaiah Crowell, who has 533 yards rushing and five scores. Defensively, New York has been respectable. The Jets are allowing just 23.7 points and 370.8 yards per game right now. They have 21 sacks and have created 15 turnovers as a unit.
NFL Betting Trends
Buffalo
The Bills have hit the under in four straight conference games and in four of their last five against a losing team.
New York
The Jets have hit the under in eight of their last 10 division games, but have hit the over in seven of their last nine at home.
Prediction:
McCown is probably an upgrade over Darnold at home moment, so the Jets’ passing game could see a spark in production on Sunday, but they are still up against a good defense in Buffalo. The Bills have to play well on defense to have any shot week-to-week. New York also has a good defense, so the Bills should definitely continue to struggle to score on the road no matter who is taking the snaps. Despite the total being very low, I see another under for the Bills.
NFL Prediction: Bills/Jets Under 36.5
