N.Y. Jets vs Buffalo Bills Betting Trends

Updated:Jan 1, 2026 1:08 AM EST

The upcoming NFL Week 18 matchup on January 4, 2026, features the N.Y. Jets visiting the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY. This Sunday football clash is set to be a thrilling contest with playoff implications as both teams vie for a strong finish to their 2025-26 seasons.

Buffalo enters the game as the favorite with a -7 point spread and odds of -380 at Caesars, while the N.Y. Jets are underdogs at +7 and +290 odds. The total points line is set at 38, favoring the under. The Bills boast a potent offense averaging 27.88 points per game and a balanced attack with 214 passing yards and 156 rushing yards per game. Quarterback Josh Allen, who has fully participated in practice, leads the Bills and presents a significant passing advantage over the Jets, whose starter is likely backup QB Brady Cook due to Tyrod Taylor's non-participation in practice.

Defensively, Buffalo ranks strong in pass defense and sacks, with key players like Joey Bosa and Matt Milano expected to pressure the Jets' offensive line. The Jets, struggling this season with a 3-13 record and 7-9 ATS, have shown weaknesses in pass protection and run defense, making them vulnerable to the Bills' aggressive pass rush and balanced offensive attack.

Notably, the Jets have a tough road record at 1-6, while Buffalo is 6-2 at home, a factor to consider when betting. Recent matchups have favored Buffalo, including their dominant 30-10 win over the Jets on September 14, 2025, which you can review in detail in their last matchup. The Bills' ability to control the line of scrimmage and capitalize on turnovers gives them a clear edge in this Sunday night football game.

For bettors, focusing on the point spread and under total is advisable given the defensive strengths and recent game stats. This matchup offers rich betting trends and game insights that can help you place smart wagers. Ready to bet smarter?
