Broncos at Bills – noon CT

The Denver Broncos have done a very poor job of closing out games this season. Right now, the Broncos are playing for next season, trying to find some success to propel them into the offseason. They’ll look to get back on track against the Buffalo Bills and play spoiler to their AFC playoff hopes.

The Bills are probably one of the surprise success stories of this season. They’re a confusing team because at one point it looked like they might be able to hang with the Patriots. Since then they have losses to the struggling Eagles and the Browns. They’re in the thick of the AFC playoff race and could challenge the Chiefs for seeding. This is one where you have a free pass to root for the Broncos.

Prediction

Raiders 31, Jets 27

Moneyline (?)

The RAIDERS (-167) hit the road, and they’ll be able to hold off the Jets in this one. They just have more horses on offense. The Jets (+140) are at home, and their offense has come alive, but their defense continues to struggle.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the moneyline returns a $6.00 profit with an Oakland victory.

Against the Spread (?)

The RAIDERS (-2.5, -110) are 2-0 straight up/1-1 against the spread in two games as a favorite this season. The Jets (+2.5, -110) have covered their past two as underdogs, winning both games straight up. They’re 2-3 SU/ATS in five games at home, however, and the Raiders pass offense will be too much for the Jets in this one.

Over/Under (?)

The OVER 46.5 (-110) is worth a moderate bet, as neither of these pass defenses are particularly strong, and the two passing offenses have been able to have their way lately. This number seems rather low, all things considered.

  • The Jets held on for dear life as they beat the Giants 34-27 in week 10.
  • The Redskins were on a bye last week.
  • The last meeting between the two was a 34-20 Jets win in 2015.
  • Both teams have bad respective home/road splits. The Jets are 0-4 on the road, while the Redskins are 0-4 at home.
  • The Redskins defense is improving. They have given up 24.3 points per game but only 17.6 points per game since week 6.
  • The Redskins rank 30th in offensive yards per game (259.1 YPG) and average just 12 points per contest. They rank dead last in their last three games with just 204 yards per game of offense.
  • With that drought, the Redskins have announced that Dwayne Haskins will be their starting QB for the rest of the season.
  • The Jets allow just 81.9 yards per game rushing (second best in the NFL). Their 26.4 points per game rank 25th.
  • The Jets rank last in yards per game and passing yards per game. They rank 30th in points at 14.4 per contest.
  • The Jets have a turnover margin of minus-6, while the Redskins are minus-3.

Jets at Redskins: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 12:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

NY Jets 20, Redskins 17

Moneyline (?)

The JETS (+115) remain a solid play because of the small price and value vs. the Redskins (-139). They have shown some offensive spark at times, particularly last week against the Giants. Washington can be just as bad defensively, especially considering an inexperienced quarterback could mean more time on the field spent.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Jets to win returns a profit of $11.50 with a victory.

Against the Spread (?)

Taking the Jets to win on the moneyline means picking them against the spread as well at (+2.5, -110). If  QB Case Keenum was starting, maybe there would have been some consideration but not now. New York has the momentum from last week’s win on their side.

Over/Under (?)

The UNDER 38.5 (-106) is the bet here. The Redskins averaging just 12 points per game makes this a reasonable wager. Also, weather could come into play with a possible coastal storm. Expect cold and potentially rainy/windy conditions.

2019 Bills opponents: Jets’ Adam Gase will be back in 2020

Christopher Johnson said Adam Gase will return as the New York Jets head coach in 2020.

The New York media cycle has recently been tossing out the name of Christopher Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets.

He waited until this week to finally speak to reporters about the state of his 2-7 football team.

Based on what he said, that makes sense.

After a 1-7 start, the Jets beat the Giants 34-27 last week. With a few good vibes out there after the win, the owner assured fans of Gang Green that head coach Adam Gase would be back in 2020.

“I want to assure you there will be no changes in coaches here,” Johnson said via Jets Wire. “Adam has the trust of this team. He has the trust of Sam. He has Joe’s trust. He has my trust. He’s a good man. He’s a good coach.”

“There’s a lot of work to do,” Johnson added. “There’s a great deal of work to do. Everyone understands that and we’re just getting started. But I feel really good about this team moving forward.”

The Bills and the Jets will wrap their season series up in their finales, Week 17. That could be a big game for Buffalo, but it won’t be for the Jets, unless they win the rest of their games they’re already out of the postseason icutre. That seems unlikely considering their record.

But, there you have it. Buffalo’s AFC East foe won’t have a new head coach next season. That’s probably the right call, too. Even after such a poor season, most coaches deserve a at least two seasons to turn things around.
