Mike White completed 31 of his 57 passes for 369 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. White will start again here, and unless he gets hurt, it’s hard to imagine that he would be benched. The Jets are averaging 21 points, while their defense is giving up 18.6 points per game. The defense is ranked 6th best in the league, and they need the defense to be strong here. Michael Carter is dealing with an ankle injury, but it’s expected that he’s going to be able to go in this game.
On the other side of this matchup is Buffalo, who sits with a 9-3 record, and they have gone 6-5-1 against the spread. The last month the Bills hadn’t been as dominant, but in the last game they got back on the right track.

The Bills are averaging 27.8 points, while their defense is giving up 17.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 3rd, while the defense is ranked 4th.

The last time these two teams faced off, the Jets were able to win, and they are going to be competitive again in this game.

The Jets might not do enough to win this game, but they are going to keep it within a touchdown. Back the Jets against the spread.
