Wk 1 - Bills -1.5 vs Jets - who you picking - how much can we over analyze this over the next 3 wks?

[GoBills808]

Two plays here

 

Bills-120

Bills-1.5+under parlay

 

Jets are going to have to make me believe, until then I like the better team only giving 1.5

[Boatdrinks]

Bills walking into a hornets nest here on Sept. 11th. Jets D scores TD late to seal it 28-17. Media love fest with NYJ kicks into overdrive  after being forced to acknowledge the Bills for a few seasons.

I'll be passed out before kick off so I'll catch up with the post game thread in the morning.

What are your picks?
What is your over analysis of the game? 

I think the JETS win 33-6.  That defense will raise havoc and we lost to far inferior offense last year.

It is going to be so so so interesting.

 

The emotion in that stadium for their home opener on 9/11, Monday Night Football, most highly anticipated opening game for them in decades or maybe ever, Super Bowl aspirations... It's going to be crazy. Almost an impossible-to-even-imagine level of crazy. Sometimes, environment and emotion are overrated when it comes to football games, but I'm not so sure that's true in this one.

 

I think it's a tossup on the football field regardless of the other factors. I'm surprised the Bills are favored. No result would surprise me.

I mean…it’s not going to be that crazy.

Jets defense is better than the Steelers.

 

They gave our offense fits last year.

 

Not as good front 7. Better backend.

 

I actually think the Jets are less likely to expose our tackles their best players up front are on the interior. So in theory our improved IOL should help manage that threat better than we did in 2022.

 

But will be a tough test. Saleh is a good defensive coach and Q obviously is a beast up front.

[CNYfan]

I think Garrett Wilson is a stud. 

Didn't the Packers score 0 points after their first drive against SF in their Playoff loss.   Rogers led them to 0 points, iirc, after a run heavy first drive?  

CJ Mosely lives to play the Bills.   

Our team will have to find some excitement and fury somewhere and play better than they have since the first half of the last Green Bay Game (when things for some reason stalled out) if they are going to grab a W in NJ.  

[Gregg]

This will be a tough game just like the 2 games last year. Sabres 20 Islanders 17.

[HOUSE]

Well, I finished reading about the Pittsburgh game last night.

 

JETS 54

BILLS 3

[colin]

the bills come out showing lots of looks, EP offense finally has the weapons and blocking to run how it should.  passing out of heavy formations and running into light boxes, the bills waltz down the field and take a 17-10 lead in the first half.

 

the bills d does a little change up here and there and a few well timed aggressive calls gets the jets to turn the ball over.  bills walk away 34 24, but the game isn't as close as the score.

[Coach Tuesday]

I would like to see some evidence that the Bills are not still sleepwalking.  Saturday looked like a continuation of the somnambulist state we saw against the Bengals.  If the pilot light gets reignited then the Bills should handle their business against the Jets.  But there have been too few signs of that this offseason.

If they are sleepwalking week 1 on the road in what is sure to be a raucous environment against a longtime rival, then McDermott has lost the team. There is no excuse not to be ready for the start of the season. None.

[Chicken Boo]

Week 1 is week 1.  It can go either way.

 

I'll say this, I'm not impressed with Buffalo's run defense.  

[DapperCam]

I’m not sure what to think. That stadium is going to be hyped, and I think the Jets get a healthy serving of home cookin’ from the refs. Their defense gave us a really hard time last year, and our defense looks like it can’t stop anything.

 

Probably going to be a sloppy game with turnovers and penalties on both sides. Should be a close one.

[Peace Frog]

27-21 Jets 

Hope I'm wrong but this team has some problems.

I'm not confident at all

 

Until I see an engaged bills team (it's been since the first half of the last game the bills played Rodgers), any team that is close to talent and puts forth effort will be very tough for the bills to beat 

It's crazy that the Bills managed an 8 game win streak while being disengaged the entire time

The Raiders sucked in 2020 but beat the chiefs, and were good enough in 2021 to make the playoffs, but couldn't beat a chiefs team worse than the one they beat in 2020

 

ie you can't just start from the exact level you imagine last year's game being left off at, and add stuff from there. The jets game this year has its own DNA which has nothing to do with last year's game

[mannc]

The Jets are going to be the trendy pick here…all the experts are going to pick against the Bills and I expect the line to move to Jets -1 before kickoff.  I think this is exactly where we want to be…the disrespected team with a chip on our shoulder.  Bills 24-20.

[Blackbeard]

You won't see a lotta run in this one by the Bills, other than Cook here and there, and Murray to end  zone.

 

Our WRs win this one handily.  Kincaid is still an unknown and will be hell to plan for.   The offense will be difficult to stop, passing wise, even for the Jets.  

 

Our D will get after Rodgers.   I worry about the short middle though.

 

Bills 30.  Jets 24.

I don't see the Bills putting up 31 points vs that Jets D.

QB - Bills

OL - Bills

RB - Tie

WR - Bills

TE - Bills

 

DL - Jets

LB - Jets

CB - Jets

S - Bills

 

Both OL’s have question marks, but ours is better on paper, with more potential. 
 

If our OL can keep the Jets DL from taking over the game, Bills cover.  
 

I think the Jets Dline dominants the Bills Oline. That's the more likely outcome than vice versa. Quinton Williams will be dominant.

Like the under and the Jets money line.

I have a very ominous feeling about this game. It’s the Jets SuperBowl. It feels like Bills Patriots week 1 with Bills blowin out Pats 31-0. I don’t think McD can get the Bills to match their emotion on the road. If Bills get down a couple scores early this could be a blood bath.

All that said, I also am skeptical Rodgers has anything left. Trust in Allen to play a clean game with Cook rushing for 130.

 

Bills 27- Jets 17

 

No way Cook runs for 130. Allen is likely to be pressured all game.
