So we're back for another Thursday night of football, this evenings contest pitting the schizophrenic New York Jets against the equally schizophrenic but generally suckier Buffalo Bills. Not a lot of motivation to put deep thought into this one, but have at it.
NY Jets (5-6) vs Buffalo (4-7) +3.5
Buffalo is a bad football team coming off a surprising win last week against the Dolphins. But since the firing of head coach Dick Jauron, one thing I've noticed is a spark of chemistry between new QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and WR Terrell Owens. All of a sudden T.O. is getting the ball, making plays, and staying involved. Of course the dude has a one year contract so one can argue that now is the time to, uh, turn it up a notch. The Jets are also coming off a big win against the Panthers, and have taken steps to address some of the erratic play of their QB Mark Sanchez. The game is being played in Toronto, which is a lot like Buffalo except its cleaner and you can get better health care there. Oh, and there are some fine restaurants in Toronto, particularly north east of the city in the Don Valley region. Since the Bills are showcasing their franchise for a potential move, I'm taking the Bills to win outright. Buffalo 24 New York Jets 20
