Positives for the New York Jets Game Today

The Jets may lean on the pass less this week (and hand the ball off more) as a result of being be forced to utilize backup quarterback Brady Cook.

This game’s line indicates an extreme throwing game script for the Jets, who are massive -7.5-point underdogs.

When it comes to safeties getting after the quarterback, Buffalo’s unit has been awful this year, grading out as the 4th-worst in the league.

Negatives with the Buffalo Bills Game Today

The Jets have a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, and the model projects their pass/run mix to skew 9.7% more towards rushing than it did last year (in a neutral context).

Our trusted projections expect the New York Jets as the 5th-least pass-heavy offense among all teams this week with a 52.3% pass rate, accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.

Given the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this game is projected by the predictive model to have just 124.9 offensive plays called: the 2nd-fewest out of all the games this week.

Opposing QBs teams have been disinclined to test the pass defense of the Bills, totaling the 2nd-fewest attempts in football (a mere 30.1 per game) this year.

In regards to protecting the quarterback (and the ramifications it has on all pass game stats), the O-line of the Jets profiles as the 8th-worst in football this year.
