NFL Week 9 Buffalo Bills vs New York Jets prediction
The Jets had won 4 straight before last week’s defeat to the Patriots. However, those wins were largely down to star rookie running back Breece Hall and an elite New York defense. Hall is now out for the season and it’s hard to see how this defense can completely shut down Josh Allen and the Bills offense, especially while the Jets have their own problems with quarterback Zach Wilson.
