Thursday Night Football: Bills vs Jets
The Week 10 edition of Thursday Night Football pits heated rivals the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets in a primetime AFC East grudge match at MetLife Stadium. According to recent history, the home team has had a considerable leg up at the betting window in this matchup. In the last six times the clubs have met, the home side is 5-1 ATS – a trend that will certainly appeal to bettors of the Jets.
On the other side of the coin, the Bills have been a lights out play when tabbed as underdogs as of late. Buffalo, who opened as 3-point underdogs, is 5-1 ATS in their previous six games as dogs.
Long time Jets head coach Rex Ryan will be making his return to New York for the first time since joining the Bills in the offseason. Ryan’s squad has had an up and down season at 4-4 SU, but if we’ve come to learn anything from the outspoken bench boss, it’s that he’s most likely circled this one on his calendar.
