Bills vs Jets Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Bills here. I think this game is a step down for the Bills on the road and I think they can hang on here. The Jets are in one of those rare places where they don’t have a bye week after an international game, and even on a Monday night, that’s not enough time to hit the reset button. Teams that come back from international play without a bye week tend to struggle in the following game and I don’t really expect that to change here. I think the Bills can take the win here as they were barely keeping pace with the Texans before a 60-yard field goal ended the game. I’m going to side with Buffalo here.
