Pick
Both of these teams come into this game struggling, but Buffalo will be at home for this matchup. The Bills have lost three of their last four games and they have made a ton of mistakes in those games. New York is on a two game losing streak and has also made quite a few mistakes on offense, but they have a very solid defense. The Jets defeated Buffalo by a score of 22-16 in Week 1, but I think they will get their revenge in this game. Zach Wilson has not been consistent enough to go into Buffalo and get the win, but I do think they can keep it within a touchdown. The Jets defense has been very sharp over the last five weeks and I like New York with the points here.
