Amazingly—despite the dauntingly negative cloud hanging over 1 Jets Drive this week—the game’s victor takes the reigns as the top AFC East dog. (A Jets victory would put both teams at 3-3, but the Jets’ current head-to-head advantage would provide them with the edge.)
Jets vs. Bills game details
- New York Jets (2-3)
- Buffalo Bills (3-2)
- NFL Week 6, Oct. 14, 2024, 8:15 p.m. ET
- MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
With the New England Patriots 1-4 on the season and the Miami Dolphins struggling without Tua Tagovailoa, the AFC East is seemingly a two-team race. That’s where the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills enter the picture.
Jets vs. Bills injury report
Michael Carter II of the Jets and Ed Oliver of the Bills are the only two players currently designated as out, but there’s plenty of uncertainty beyond the two names.
James Cook and Khalil Shakir joined Oliver on Friday’s DNP list, which puts the status of both players in serious doubt. Along with Cook and Shakir, Austin Johnson and Taron Johnson are also questionable.
On the Jets side of the coin, Tyler Conklin and C.J. Mosley are listed as questionable, whereas the rest of the roster heads into the weekend without a designation.

Jets vs. Bills odds
- New York Jets +2.5 (-112) vs. Buffalo Bills
- Buffalo Bills -2.5 (-108) at New York Jets
- New York Jets +110 moneyline vs. Buffalo Bills
- Buffalo Bills -130 moneyline at New York Jets
- Jets-Bills 40.5 over-under point total (O -115, U -105)
Considering the Jets ride a two-game losing streak into the game, the Bills should be road favorites.
However, the 2.5-point spread should be viewed at 5.5 points, with the Jets enjoying home-field advantage (as the standard rule of thumb gives an imaginary three points to the home team). Until the Jets prove that firing Robert Saleh was the right call, don’t expect any love from the oddsmakers.
