Buffalo Bills vs New York Jets Prediction & Picks - NFL

Prediction published on 12/29/24, 9:58 AM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 1/16/26 at 5:08 AM in NFL Picks

The Buffalo Bills will try to move a step closer to locking down the No. 2 seed in the AFC when the New York Jets come to town for a game at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. The action gets underway at 1 p.m. ET, and the game will be broadcast on CBS.

When the line for this game was first posted in the preseason, and both teams were expected to be contenders, the Bills were favored by only two points. Fast-forward to Week 17, and considering how the season has gone for both teams, it is not shocking that the Bills will be double-digit favorites in this game. On the surface, that looks like a spread the Bills should cover. However, there is one factor that says differently—the weather. If the forecast is correct, the Bills and Jets are in for a cold, rainy day. Such days are more conducive to the run game than the pass. Both teams have solid running backs, although Breece Hall has struggled in many games this year.

Consequently, the final scores in such games often tend to be relatively low-scoring ones.
