Bills vs. Jets opening odds for Week 1 on Monday Night Football
By Reed Wallach
The Buffalo Bills quest for a Super Bowl starts on the road in 2023.
While the full schedule will be released on Thursday at 8 p.m. EST, the Bills first opponent of the year was leaked early, with Buffalo traveling to MetLife Stadium to face the New York Jets in Week 1 on Monday Night Football.

The Bills split its season series against the Jets last season, losing on the road 20-17 and then winning at home 20-12, but it is sure to be a tougher test in 2023 with Gang Green trading for Aaron Rodgers in the offseason.
However, oddsmakers are still siding with Josh Allen and the Bills. FanDuel Sportsbook has installed the Bills as three-point road favorites against the Jets in the openin game. Despite the Jets getting a serious upgrade at quarterback, the Bills are still seen as the better team by a substantial degree.
Further, if you don't want to lay the points with Buffalo, you can take the reigning AFC East champs on the moneyline at -124, meaing you'd have to risk $124 to win back $100 for the Bills to simply win outright in the opener.
Expect more schedule news throughout the day on Thursday leading up to the schedule release at 8 PM EST on NFL Network, but it's nice to see the Bills getting some shine so early into the season.
