The Jets played well against one of the better teams in the league last week, falling 28-24 to Tampa Bay due to a late Tom Brady TD pass. new York gets one more battle in week 18 with a visit to 10-6 Buffalo.
The Bills can clinch the AFC East with a win over the Jets, owning the tie breaker over fellow 10-6 Team New England due to having a better win percentage in division games. Buffalo would like to get a big lead early and rest for next week’s playoff game.
New York Jets
The Jets are in line for the #4 draft pick which could land between #3 and #6 depending on how the last week of the regular season plays out. New York played competitively against Tampa Bay and ultimately still lost – which is actually what you’d really want for a young team looking toward the future.
New York has actually played somewhat decent the last three games. They picked up a 26-21 win over Jacksonville in week 16 and gave up another late TD in a 31-24 loss in Miami in week 15.
QB Zach Wilson was 19/33 for 234 yards and a TD in last week’s meeting with Brady and now hasn’t thrown an INT over his last four games. That’s something to be optimistic about for the Jets, who can get him some help in the offseason as they also own Seattle’s current #7 draft pick.
Of course it’s not going to be easy for the Jets in the finale, as Buffalo sports the #1 defense in the NFL allowing 286.5 yards/game. That includes having the league’s #1 pass defense (172.9).
Buffalo Bills
Buffalo can head into the postseason on a four game win streak if they can pick up the victory over New York on Sunday afternoon. The biggest win over that span was taking down the Patriots 33-21 in Foxborough in week 16 which put the Bills back in the driver’s seat for the division crown.
The Bills will be playing their third home game in the last four in week 18, most recently beating Atlanta 29-15 after shutting out the Falcons in the second half. There are some areas of concern even in the win though as QB Josh Allen was just 11/26 with 0 TD and 3 INT. Allen did have 6 TD to 1 INT the two games prior though.
Buffalo got a pretty easy win over the Jets earlier in the season, winning 45-17 at MetLife Stadium in week 10. The game really wasn’t even that close with the Bills easing off the gas a bit after taking a 38-3 lead into the 4th quarter.

4* Free Week 18 NFL Betting Prediction: Jets +16
Their big loss against the Bills earlier this season aside, New York hasn’t played bad lately. They were hanging with Tampa Bay and the Dolphins, and picked up a win over Jacksonville.
This game looks like it may provide a great opportunity for a back door cover at the very least. The point spread is huge, the Bills want to pull some players early to avoid injury before the playoff game, and the Jets are going to play hard until the final minute with the next stop being the offseason.
