Of the five divisional rivalries on the Sunday slate, perhaps the biggest mismatch we’ll see is in Buffalo with the Bills hosting the New York Jets. Although it’s a division winner against a last place team, it’s still a classic AFC East rivalry, so we’ve got our Jets vs. Bills predictions to share with you.

The also means a best bet from our Jets vs. Bills picks, which we’ll be adding to with a brand new $250 FanDuel Sportsbook promotion!

 

 

 

Jets vs. Bills Predictions For NFL Week 17, Sunday 12/29

While this is certainly expected to be a mismatch, with Buffalo not looking as dominant as expected against the New England Patriots last Sunday, the Jets vs. Bills odds don't have them as heavy of favorites as that matchup.

Even still, it’s difficult to imagine anything but a smooth win for Buffalo, especially after seeing New York put up just nine points last weekend. However, the Jets had been involved in one-score matchups in each of their four games prior to that. So, will they keep it competitive against a hated rival or just throw in the towel for the year

The fact that is still a question heading into this matchup has us focused elsewhere for the top pick from our Jets vs. Bills predictions.
 

 

 

New York Jets: All About Perspective

Based on QB Aaron Rodgers and his comments after the home loss to the Los Angeles Rams last weekend, it appears as though he has a similar question as us regarding his team. Of course, the entire organization knows that they’re out of things and sitting at 4-11, but it’s now about how you approach the final two weeks.

In other words, it’s about proving yourself as a professional. For example, are you still putting in the same effort, or at least habits when it comes to practice? It’s about seeing who is still treating every game as an opportunity or just counting down the minutes and seconds to when they can get out.
 

 

 

Buffalo Bills: Letting James Cook

On the complete flip side of that is the Bills looking to earn the best seed possible for the postseason. Swirling around those headlines has also been QB Josh Allen seemingly being the runaway MVP choice after the big win over the Detroit Lions. However, it was RB James Cook that led the team in Week 16.

As mentioned, Buffalo’s game against the Patriots was far more of a sweat than it should have been. For once, though, it wasn’t Allen putting on his Superman cape for the comeback charge. Instead, we saw Cook not only go for 100 yards and a score, but also need just 11 carries to accomplish that!
 

 

 

Jets vs. Bills Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

If not for the close call against the Pat, we’d like see a larger favorite, but regardless, here are the latest Jets vs. Bills odds at FanDuel Sportsbook:

 

 

 

Jets vs. Bills Best Bet: Over 47 Points (-110 at FanDuel Sportsbook)

If you were to force our hand to make a pick on a side for this matchup, we’d back a double-digit win for Buffalo, but we’re more confident keeping the focus of our Jets vs. Bills predictions on the total.

Despite the Jets scoring single digits last Sunday, we still like the over. After all, it’s far more about the Bills doing the majority of the damage, if not all of it. They did exactly that just two weekends ago with their 48-42 win over the Lions. That game also marked a stretch of a whopping eight straight games scoring 30+ points.

Therefore, it’s no surprise that they’re the league’s highest-scoring team. We also saw that helped break a trend that had been five straight unders between these AFC East foes. It’s clear that this Bills team is just on another tier this season, and we should still see New York muster up more than just nine points.

There was a missed extra point and missed field goal in that game, and it was the first game in quite some time that the Jets struggled to score. In their four games prior, New York had scored an average of 26.5 points per game. 

It may not be the most meaningful game, but we still have the best bet from our Jets vs. Bills predictions on the over 46.5 points (-110 at FanDuel Sportsbook).
 

 

 

Jets vs. Bills Injury Report & Latest News

Expanding on what we noted about Allen’s MVP campaign, it seems highly unlikely that his right hand injury from the Pats game is a significant one that would cause him to be in jeopardy for this game. We also saw New York defensive stars Michael Carter II and Quinnen Williams miss practice at the end of last week, so also keep track of that along with everything in the Fantasy Alarm NFL injury report.
