NFL betting should be very exciting on the game between the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills. Both teams are fighting for position in the AFC East and this is a critical game as the teams reach the midpoint of the season. Football betting odds have the Bills about a 5.5 point favorite in this game.
NFL history shows that the Bills have won six of the last ten meetings between the two teams. Buffalo has covered 7 of those meetings according to football betting numbers. Last year the Bills won both games against the Jets including 17-14 at home according to NFL statistics.
