Buffalo Bills vs New York Jets Prediction
New York has allowed at least 26 points in each of its four straight losses. That's a problem against Buffalo, which averages 32 per game. The Jets can pressure quarterbacks, but stopping Cook and Allen on the ground presents another challenge. Buffalo has also held Baltimore and Minnesota to 16 combined points in its last two outings. The Bills should have enough to cover, even if the game stays below the posted total.
Final Score Prediction: Buffalo 30-17.
