The AFC East just got a little spicier as the Buffalo Bills (3-2) prepare to face off against the New York Jets (2-3) this Monday at MetLife Stadium. The Bills, the slight favorites with a 2.5-point edge, are riding the waves of their season rollercoaster, while the Jets are still looking to shake up their season with a solid win at home. Bills fans are calling this matchup “must-watch” for all the right reasons – with a whole lot of the “right reasons” playing through injuries.
Let’s talk about the injury drama that’s been gripping both teams. Bills QB Josh Allen is expected to play despite a pesky hand issue, so no worries there, Buffalo. As for wide receiver Khalil Shakir and defensive star Ed Oliver, they’re still day-to-day with ankle and hamstring injuries, respectively. For the Jets, Aaron Rodgers is back at limited practice post-ankle injury, which is enough to make every Jets fan dream of a comeback, even if it’s not quite here yet.
And let’s not ignore the undercurrent of sports betting. Odds courtesy of BetMGM put the Bills slightly ahead, but with injuries keeping star players in flux, this game has fans holding their breath. So, who’s it going to be: the hopeful Jets or the resilient Bills? One thing’s for sure—MetLife Stadium will be buzzing with fans who just can’t look away from this clash of AFC East titans.
