Things ended badly for Rex Ryan (pictured, metaphorically, top right) in New York
Thursday Night
Bills at Jets
This is an interesting game for several reasons; division rivals, playoff aspirations, Rex Ryan’s new team visiting his former. Also, the teams are similar; both feature good defences keyed by strong play up front, and offences led by QBs who are exceeding expectations. I’m basing my choice on these factors:
- The Bills’ offence is far more effective when Tyrod Taylor plays (He will).
- Ryan Fitzpatrick has a hand injury (For which he faces imminent surgery).
- The Jets have some key injuries in the secondary.
That adds up to just enough to swing the balance for me. Winner: Bills
