With a playoff spot in their grasp, the Jets will travel upstate for a divisional matchup in Buffalo against the Bills. The Jets are getting hot at the right time as the season winds down—winning five straight games, while going 4-0-1 ATS during that stretch.
- The Jets are 0-4 SU and ATS in their last four games against the Bills.
- The Bills are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as home underdogs.
- The Jets are 2-9 SU in their last 11 games after winning as an underdog.
The Bills’ playoff hopes are long gone, but they’ll be trying to spoil the Jets’ postseason aspirations. New York opened as 2.5-point favorites, but the Bills have been a strong ATS play at home over their last 10 home games—going 7-3 ATS. There’s something about playing in January that hasn’t quite clicked for Buffalo though, as they’ve gone just 1-6 SU and ATS in their last seven games in January.
During their five game winning streak the Jets have averaged 27.2 points per game while allowing just 16.8 points. Ryan Fitzpatrick has been a major reason for the Jets’ recent success as he’s thrown 13 touchdowns and just one interception during the five games. Brandon Marshall has also been giving opposing defenses nightmares, as he’s recorded 115 or more receiving yards in four of the five games.
