It’s the regular season finale of this season and it’s not meaningless… well not completely. The New York Jets will head to Ralph Wilson Stadium with a chance to make the playoffs, while Rex Ryan will look to knock his former team from the postseason ranks. Here’s what we think will happen:

The Bills are missing too many big players to pull off the upset this week. It seems like even the players are ready for this terrible season to be over with. Rex will get the players who are healthy pumped for this game, but it won’t be enough. Fitzpatrick and the Jets are on a roll, and the beat up Buffalo defense won’t be able to stop them. Tyrod and the offense will be able to move the ball and put points on the board, but the defense won’t get enough stops to win this one.

Buffalo is going to come out firing and it’s going to be about whether or not the Bills can establish some sort of offense outside of special teams (as they got a ST touchdown in the last meeting). It will also be about whether or not Ryan Fitzpatrick can continue this hot streak. Honestly, I think it is going to be a slugfest and both team’s passing games are going to be virtually eliminated, at least down the field it is because of the weather conditions. This will favor Buffalo and, call me crazy, but I’m predicting the upset.

Yes, this is a “meaningless” game for the Buffalo Bills, but it would be a very sweet victory for each one of the players and members of the coaching staff. The opportunity to beat the New York Jets for a second time this season and possibly preventing them from the playoffs is more than enough motivation to come ready to play. To me, as good as Ryan Fitzpatrick has been this season, something has to give. There’s a reason he’s on his fourth team in for years. This matchup comes down to Buffalo’s pass defense and its ability to limit Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker. If the Bills’ secondary and pass rush (Mario Williams) come to play Sunday, Buffalo will be able to score just enough points to win. Offensively, look for Sammy Watkins to get the better of Darrelle Revis once again, but this time it’ll actually show in the boxscore.
