Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets NFL Betting Odds & Spread

Written December 11, 2008 by Jason Lowry

After beating the Titans and looking like they were going to take over the AFC the New York Jets have fallen apart over the last two weeks, as they were beat for the second straight game last week by the 49ers 24-14. Now luckily for the Jets they are still tied for first in the AFC East with the Dolphins and Patriots, and this week they head back home to take on the Buffalo Bills who continue to fall, as they are now under .500 at 6-7 after they suffered their 6th loss in seven games last week against the Dolphins. For those of you looking to do a little NFL betting this weekend, the oddsmakers have the Jets 7 point favorites over the Bills at Sportsbook.com

The Bills offense has went completely down hill, as they scored just 3 points for the second straight week, and its hard to imagine just how this team put up 54 against the Chiefs 3 weeks ago. Last week against Dolphins JP Losman started at quarterback and was not very good, as he completed just 13 of 27 passes for only 123 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. Now Marshawn Lynch was pretty much non-existent against the Dolphins, as the back had just just 31 yards on 13 carries, and was out gained by Losman who had 53 yards on 5 carries. If the Bills offense doesn’t find a way to move the football this team is going to go from looking like everything was headed in the right direction to a team that needs a complete change over the offseason.

The Bills defense isn’t the problem as they are playing some real solid football, as they only allowed one touchdown to the Dolphins last week and forced 3 Dolphin field goals. Now with the offense struggling to stay on the field for any amount of time its a pretty amazing that this unit only gave up 16 points in this one, and there is not much more this unit can do besides just hope the offense finds a way to improve over the remainder of the season. Now the Jets beat up on the Bills back on Nov. 2 26-17 and its hard to imagine this team has got any better since then to improve enough to win this game. Bet New York Jets +7 at Sportsbook.com

Now its hard figuring out this Jets team, as they can look like a Super Bowl contender one week, and look like a team that doesn’t deserve to even be in the playoffs the next. No the loss to the Broncos is something we can understand as the Broncos can play some good football, but their effort against the 49ers last week is unacceptable for a team trying to win a division. Now after averaging nearly 34 points a game during their 5 game winning streak during the middle of the season, the Jets have scored just 15 a game over the last two weeks, and against the 49ers last week Brett Favre threw for just 137 yards with an interception and Thomas Jones was able to run for just 56 yards and a score on 10 carries, as the Jets struggled to do much of anything one the offensive side of things.

Now the Jets better get it together this week, or they could easily be looking up the rest of the way of the season, and they need their defense to bring their game this week against a struggling Bills offense. Last week they let the 49ers Shaun Hill throw for 285 yards and 2 scores, but were pretty solid against the run allowing just 52 yards to Frank Gore. Last time against the Bills they allowed just 30 yards on the ground and picked off Trent Edwards twice, so if the defense can play like that at home again this weekend we feel like the Jets will get back to their winning ways with just two games remaining on the season.
