After a shaky performance in Weeks 4 and 5, will Josh Allen and the Bills bounce back against the Jets?
The Buffalo Bills, sitting at 3-2, head into this divisional matchup against the New York Jets on Monday Night Football. Despite leading the AFC East, the Bills need to address their offensive struggles to have any hope of making a Super Bowl run.
The absence of Khalil Shakir significantly impacted the Bills’ passing game in Week 5. With Josh Allen relying on Mack Hollins, Keon Coleman, and Curtis Samuel, it was clear that these receivers fell short against formidable opponents.
If Shakir remains sidelined in Week 6, facing a talented Jets secondary could prove challenging for the Bills.
The Jets will face their first game without former head coach Robert Saleh, who was dismissed this week. His replacement has a challenging task ahead, particularly as Aaron Rodgers has struggled to regain his MVP form.
The connection between Rodgers and star receiver Garrett Wilson was almost non-existent until last week against Minnesota. Despite these issues, the Jets maintain a respectable 2-3 record. Will they be able to reach .500 this week?
For betting considerations, the Bills are favored to win by a narrow margin. If the Bills can adjust their offense, particularly if Shakir returns, they could cover the spread. Alternatively, look for potential prop bets, especially on player performances, as both teams aim to make a statement in this crucial divisional clash.
