Bills vs Jets: Buffalo by Double Digits

Four road games, four wins

Buffalo has gone on the road four times this year and come home happy every time: Houston, the Rams, Las Vegas and Minnesota on Monday night. The Bills score 32 points a game, and they’ve scored on every single trip inside the 20 this season. Every one.

They can do it on the ground, too. Buffalo runs for 146.6 yards a game at 4.5 a carry. James Cook has 814 yards, and he carried it 31 times for 107 in Minnesota against one of the nastiest defenses in the league.

The Jets are coming apart

New York has lost four straight and didn’t score a touchdown in a 35-12 loss in Kansas City. Players were slamming helmets before it was over. Pass rusher Will McDonald asked for a trade because he isn’t playing enough, and the front office shipped safety Andre Cisco to Detroit on Monday. That’s not a team gearing up for the Bills. That’s a team counting down to the offseason.

The Jets have won one of four at home, and the one win was 17-12 over Cleveland.

One interception all year

Here’s the stat that kills the Jets’ upset dreams: their defense has one interception in nine games. One. Josh Allen has thrown six picks, so he’s not perfect, but you can’t beat Buffalo without taking the ball away, and this defense doesn’t take the ball away. Geno Smith has been careful with only three interceptions, but careful doesn’t keep up with 32 a game.
