How it plays out

New York Jets vs Buffalo Bills is a AFC East rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Buffalo Bills at 89% to New York Jets's 11%, spread BUF -7. The power-ranking gap backs it up (#26 vs #3), and the contender tiers agree.

Tactically, New York Jets will want to lean on aggressive defense to attack Buffalo Bills, whose no true WR1 is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Buffalo Bills's dual-threat MVP could punish New York Jets if offensive line goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the game.

Keep an eye on Garrett Wilson (WR) and Josh Allen (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Jets at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
