Bills vs. Jets Prediction, NFL Picks for Week 2

• New York played in a wild Week 1 game, but Buffalo's comeback victory over Baltimore last Sunday night was even nuttier.
• The Bills erased a fourth-quarter 15-point deficit to shock the Ravens 41-40 in a matchup of two of the AFC top squads, marking the second time Buffalo beat Baltimore by less than 2 points, dating back to last season’s divisional playoffs.

Buffalo Bills

• QB Josh Allen spearheaded Buffalo’s massive rally against Baltimore, finishing with 394 yards and 2 TD passes. The Bills picked up their 11th consecutive home victory, but Buffalo has lost three of its last four road games.
• Buffalo swept New York last season, which included a 23-20 victory at MetLife.

New York Jets

• Allen posted the second-highest EPA per play in Week 1 among all QB’s at 0.424, behind Chargers’ QB Justin Herbert at 0.438. Last season, Allen led all NFL starters in EPA per play at 0.321.
• In two games against the Jets last season, Allen was held to 215 and 182 passing yards. In the 23-20 victory at New York in which Allen put up 215 yards, two of the completions went for 42 and 38 yards.
• In each of his first four road games in 2024, Allen compiled fewer than 215 passing yards. He put together four consecutive road performances of at least 280 passing yards to close out the regular season.  

Bills QB Josh Allen vs. Jets Projection: 231.5 Passing Yards

• However, in 10 games with the Steelers last season, Fields eclipsed 45 rushing yards just three times.
• Last week, the Bills allowed Ravens QB Lamar Jackson to rush for 70 yards, snapping a 16-game streak in which Buffalo limited opposing QB’s to fewer than 44 rushing yards.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson vs. Bills Projection: 61.5 Receiving Yards

• In the Week 1 loss to the Steelers, Wilson’s projection closed at 55.5 receiving yards. He obliterated that number with 95 yards, his highest receiving output since hauling in 114 yards in Week 14 against the Dolphins last season.
• In 2024, Wilson put up 107 receiving yards in the 23-20 home loss to the Bills. Buffalo slowed down the Jets’ top wideout in the second matchup, limiting him to 66 yards.
