Jets vs. Bills Over/Under, Best Bet? New York Tracker
By Mike Fisher,
1 day ago
AUG 15 OVER/UNDER CBS Sports' Will Brunson has the Bills' over/under win projection set at 10.5 wins and predicts Buffalo to have a 10-7 record in 2024. ... which, he says, puts them just ahead of the Jets and the Dolphins.
"Josh Allen is my MVP pick this year, and part of that is him having a division-winning, toss-the-team-on-my-back season after the Bills traded Stefon Diggs this offseason," Brunson wrote .
A 10-7 season would mean another playoff visit for Allen and the Bills, assuming Brunson's predictions for the rest of the AFC East - the New Jets are projected to have a 9-8 season, the same as the Miami Dolphins, with the New England Patriots at 5-12 - are correct.
AUG 14 GOODBYE, HELLO? It was almost exactly a year ago when Corey Davis said goodbye to the NFL.
But this week ... 'Un-Retiring''?
Davis had a workout with the Jets rival Buffalo Bills on Wednesday in an apparent comeback attempt for the former Titans first-round pick who played for Tennessee and for the Jets.
Davis was picked No. 5 overall by the Titans in 2017.
AUG 12 THE WAVE What advice did Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels get from Aaron Rodgers following the Commanders losing 20-17 to the New York Jets to open the preseason?
“Don't ride the wave,'' Rodgers told the rookie, per Daniels. "Obviously he's been in this league, played at the high level for many years ... Kind of just say, 'You're going to have ups and downs your rookie year, don't ride the wave and just stay the course, and everything will work out.”
AUG 11 LAZARD TO EAGLES? To be clear, this is a "media proposal,'' not a team proposal.
But it's floating around out there: The Philadelphia Eagles should add to a wideout room presently topped by AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith by calling the New York Jets on vet Allen Lazard.
We're not sure why the Eagles are listed as a possible landing spot for Lazard by USA Today. ... but if there is any fire beneath the smoke?
We wonder - beyond the cap savings of moving Lazard - what the Jets get out of this "proposal.'' USA Today wants Philly to trade a "late-round pick'' for Lazard. ... But maybe they should ask his buddy Aaron Rodgers ...
Would you rather have Lazard now?
Or a "late-round pick'' for a time when you might no longer even be here?
AUG 10 – RODGERS RAMP UP – The New York Giants played their first preseason game on Thursday, beginning their summer circuit that will end on Aug. 24 against the New York Jets.
While the Jets begin their preseason on Saturday, they’ll do so without quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He’s healthy, nearly a year removed from his Achilles tear, but New York is taking every precaution. However, the Jets generally like to play their starters in the final preseason game.
“We haven’t had final decisions yet at all with regards to the third game,” Saleh said, via SNY. “You guys know me, the third game is usually when we like to play our guys and depending on how today went, how Saturday goes, and next week’s work with the Panthers and the following week with the Giants, I’ll make that decision.”
On whether or not that meant there’s a chance he lets Rodgers play, Saleh was brief, but seemingly open-minded.
“Yeah.”
Last year, Rodgers played well against the Giants, including a moment of trash talk with defensive lineman Jihad Ward. New York will have to wait and see if some exhibition game revenge is in store.
