At 1 o’clock on Sunday the Buffalo Bills will kickoff their NFL season against the New York Jets.

The Buffalo Bills are currently ten point favorites over the New York Jets, per SportsBookReview.com. According to said sports book, there is more money being placed on the Jets against the point spread than for the the Bills to cover.

Vegas Odds:

New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills (-10)

Over Under: 40 points

Money Line: New York (+300) @ Buffalo (-400)

The ten point spread seems like a hefty number. The Buffalo Bills’ quarterback, Tyrod Taylor is fresh off of a concussion. His starting status was in question until a few days ago when the team declared that he would indeed be under center on Sunday.

The game will be played in Buffalo which is part of the reason for the extra bump in points that the Bills are favored by.

On one side, I can see the Jets front seven standing strong against the Bills’ top-notch rushing attack, but on the other side, I can see New York’s secondary getting picked apart. The Bills will win this Sunday but by how much? Many NFL analysts have something to say about it:
