The Buffalo Bills continue to be a strong option every week, as they've finished within the top 10 of weekly scoring in each of their seven games. They hit the road to play the New York Jets in the teams' second matchup of the season this weekend.

In Week 1, the Bills beat the Jets 21-12 and Buffalo forced two turnovers while holding the Jets to only those 12 points. That performance enabled them to finish as the 10th-highest scoring defense.

Now eight weeks into the season, the Jets have allowed opposing defenses to finish within the top 12 in five of eight games. Josh McCown has played well, but he has been prone to turnovers, committing at least one in six games and multiple turnovers in three. McCown has also taken the second-most sacks of any quarterback in the league (25).

On the other hand, the Bills defense have been forcing opponents into mistakes all year, causing 17 turnovers, which is tied for most in the league.

Vegas has listed this game with a 43-point over/under and the Bills are a three-point favorite. In a week without a standout streaming option, the Bills are a strong one against the turnover-prone McCown.
