At a -10-point disadvantage, the Jets are massive underdogs in this game, suggesting much more of a focus on throwing than their normal game plan.Accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Jets to pass on 62.9% of their chances: the 4th-highest rate among all teams this week.The leading projections forecast Aaron Rodgers to attempt 36.8 passes in this game, on average: the 8th-most out of all quarterbacks.The Buffalo Bills defense has been a notorious pass funnel this year, allowing opposing QBs to attempt the 8th-most passes in the league (36.0 per game) this year.When it comes to protecting the passer (and the strong effect it has on all passing attack stats), the offensive line of the New York Jets ranks as the 6th-best in football this year.
