The New York Jets are just 2-9 SU and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog. The Jets figure to be an underdog in just about every game they play this season, starting with their Sportsbook-week road game against the Buffalo Bills.
- The Jets are 2-5 SU and ATS in their last seven games against the Bills.
- The Bills are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games in Week 1.
- The total has gone OVER in 10 of the Bills’ last 12 games.
After a respectable 10-6 SU and 8-6-2 ATS campaign in 2015, the wheels fell off for the Jets last year as the team stumbled to a 5-11 SU and 6-9-1 ATS record. New York cut ties with a handful of key veterans this offseason, including Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, Nick Mangold and Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Jets ranked 30th in the NFL in offense last season with 17.2 points per game, and things could get even worse on that side of the ball this year.
Led by LeSean McCoy and his 1,267 rushing yards on 234 carries, the Bills owned the best rushing attack in the NFL last season, averaging 164.4 yards per game on the ground. Conversely, Buffalo ranked 30th in the NFL in passing with only 189.8 passing yards per game. To improve on last year’s 7-9 SU and 6-9-1 ATS record, Tyrod Taylor or another quarterback on the roster will need to take a step forward in the passing game.
