At the start of the season, many people believed the AFC East would be a two-horse race between the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. So, with that in mind, a Week 17 matchup between the two squads had the potential to be one of the biggest battles of the season.
Instead, the Jets floundered. They boast an abysmal 4-11 record, and no matter how many of Aaron Rodgers’ friends they add, they can’t seem to get going. The Bills, meanwhile, have not lost a step even without Stefon Diggs. Quarterback Josh Allen has taken another step in his game and might be the MVP frontrunner with just two weeks to play.
With that in mind, it’d be easy to write this game off as a blowout, but divisional games have a knack for bringing the unexpected. If there was ever a time for a shocking loss, it would be facing an opponent who knows you very well.
