Overview
The New York Jets host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, November 15, 2026 at MetLife Stadium, kicking off at 1:00 PM ET on CBS. New York enters at 2-7, losers of four straight after a 12-35 defeat at the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9. Before that came a 33-38 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, a 25-28 loss to the Miami Dolphins, and a 19-26 loss at the New England Patriots, with the Jets' only win in that stretch a 17-12 decision over the Cleveland Browns in Week 5. New York has been outscored 223-182 this season.
Buffalo arrives at 7-1 on a four-game winning streak, having beaten the Minnesota Vikings 23-6 in Week 9, the Baltimore Ravens 36-10 in Week 8, the Las Vegas Raiders 33-30 in Week 6 and the Los Angeles Rams 37-34 in Week 5. Their only recent blemish was a 26-29 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 4. The Bills have outscored opponents 256-187 this season.
Buffalo leads the all-time series 72-58 and has won the past five meetings, and nothing here suggests that trend flips. The Bills have the better record, the better point differential and the longer streak, and the market has them favored by 7.5 points with a 51-point total — the edge belongs to Buffalo.
Key players
Geno Smith passed for 165 yards in Week 9 and has posted a 60-plus completion percentage with 250-plus passing yards and a touchdown pass in three of his past four starts, numbers the Jets need him to replicate against a tough Buffalo defense.
Breece Hall led the Jets with 87 scrimmage yards last week and is chasing his seventh straight game with 55-plus scrimmage yards and his third straight at home with 90-plus.
Braelon Allen posted 54 scrimmage yards in Week 9 and has topped 100 scrimmage yards in four of his past five games overall, with a rushing touchdown in three of his past four at home.
Garrett Wilson is questionable with a concussion after being a central piece of the Jets' passing game, and his availability looms over New York's offensive plan.
Rookie edge David Bailey had nine tackles, three tackles for loss, two sacks and two forced fumbles last week, and he can become just the fourth rookie since 1982 to reach nine sacks in his first nine career games, sitting at seven and a half through eight.
Keys to the game
Slow down James Cook, who ranks second in the AFC with 814 rushing yards and led Buffalo with 107 rushing yards and a touchdown last week.
Get home on Josh Allen the way David Bailey did a week ago, with pressure up front the only way to keep Buffalo's offense off schedule.
Lean on Breece Hall and Braelon Allen to sustain drives and keep the ball away from an Allen-led Buffalo offense that's averaging big numbers.
Fantasy angles
Start Geno Smith with confidence — he's hit a 60-plus completion percentage, 250-plus yards and a touchdown pass in three of his last four outings, and he's projected for 15.0 DraftKings points.
Omar Cooper Jr. projects for a team-high 13.0 points after a career-high eight catches for 58 yards last week, but he's questionable with an ankle injury, so sit him unless he's cleared.
Braelon Allen projects for 10.5 points and has 100-plus scrimmage yards in four of his past five games — a solid flex start.
Garrett Wilson's 10.0-point projection comes with real risk given his concussion status — sit him until the questionable tag clears.
Breece Hall rounds out the group at 10.0 points and is a safe floor play riding a string of 55-plus scrimmage yard games.
Prediction
The market has this one going 29-22 in Buffalo's favor, a number that lines up with a Bills offense riding a four-game win streak against a Jets team that's lost four in a row and is still waiting on clarity on Garrett Wilson's concussion status. Buffalo's scoring differential and the spread both point the same direction, and the Jets' path to flipping the script runs through containing James Cook and getting pressure on Josh Allen.
