    First he never said that. Rex insinuated that he should stay in the pocket 'more' not 'all the time'. And that points to a less mobile philosophy for a QB that needs to be mobile.

    Second he has stayed in the pocket more. He has 2 rushes total right now which is trending under his full-game average.

    Obviously when he has an opportunity for a TD or first down he will take it and he did. What head coach would tell his player to stay in a pocket to protect himself for the long-term with open field ahead of him?

    Still think Vegas wants even money on games?

    70% of money was on Jets. Line moved to -2.5 begging for more square money.

    However the script was already written.

    Luckily for you I didn't have the cojones to back this Buffalo Buffoons.

    Jets may win this but they won't cover.

You take home field away from buffalo and the jets are only about a 5 or 6 favorite on a neutral field? Hmmmm. Also, the bills are banged up, big time yet that is definitely not factored into this line. I can't think that the "Rex Ryan factor" makes this game a 2.5 game in favor of the jets. In my eyes, after beating new england last week, it should be at least 5 or 6 in favor of the jets. The line hasn't even moved all week. The whole world is on the jets, rightfully so but why no line movement? Im no genius but that is weird in such a big game. 

    Lastly, last week the jets got theirs against New England. We can pretend that New England got beat up but they aren't healthy and with Miami on deck, they didn't go all in. The jets won, I give it to them.  Pittsburgh, last week, after coming back to beat Denver the week before lays an egg against Baltimore, a team that beat them In Pittsburgh already. Youd think Pitt would have remembered that, right? To the amateur bettor though, they feel Pitt just got outplayed, right? Yeah ok. They got beat by Ryan Mallett.......Baltimore.....maybe the worst secondary in the league; they hold Pitt under 20?! What I'm getting at is this: I feel this could be a HUUUUUUUGE trap for jets backers becuase they just aren't supposed to get in, Pittsburgh is. Pittsburgh is due for a gift this week after obeying the lopsided bloodbath they and black and yellow backers took. I get it guys, what I just said is a minority type angle especially to suuma who plays games straight up ( I respect that and his capping and he is one of the best). I am on the other side in that I feel there is a bigger picture when it comes to this chess game, the NFL. If this line sticks at -2.5, with McCoy not playing and Rex already beating the jets, is this a gift? Well....as we all know nothing gets handed to anyone in this league and usually when it's too good to be true, it is. I'm gonna watch this line movement- right now all signs point to the jets but it's too good to be true. I thought I would mention this too; I thought this was interesting: there is an NFL commercial that shows the steelers three times in it along with other teams who have all clinched playoff spots. What is the commercial about? The NFL PLAYOFFS. It plays no bearing on my picks but it is very interesting....... GL TO ALL

    Spot on with this post. Pittsburgh laid down last week, no way they didn't get in this week. Big Ben over fitz and the league agreed. Very eerie how bad the jets looked in the opponents territory; it wasn't a coincidence. my trap comment in my eyes was right on. Great year by the jets though suuma. GL in the playoffs bud

You take home field away from buffalo and the jets are only about a 5 or 6 favorite on a neutral field? Hmmmm. Also, the bills are banged up, big time yet that is definitely not factored into this line. I can't think that the "Rex Ryan factor" makes this game a 2.5 game in favor of the jets. In my eyes, after beating new england last week, it should be at least 5 or 6 in favor of the jets. The line hasn't even moved all week. The whole world is on the jets, rightfully so but why no line movement? Im no genius but that is weird in such a big game. 

    Lastly, last week the jets got theirs against New England. We can pretend that New England got beat up but they aren't healthy and with Miami on deck, they didn't go all in. The jets won, I give it to them.  Pittsburgh, last week, after coming back to beat Denver the week before lays an egg against Baltimore, a team that beat them In Pittsburgh already. Youd think Pitt would have remembered that, right? To the amateur bettor though, they feel Pitt just got outplayed, right? Yeah ok. They got beat by Ryan Mallett.......Baltimore.....maybe the worst secondary in the league; they hold Pitt under 20?! What I'm getting at is this: I feel this could be a HUUUUUUUGE trap for jets backers becuase they just aren't supposed to get in, Pittsburgh is. Pittsburgh is due for a gift this week after obeying the lopsided bloodbath they and black and yellow backers took. I get it guys, what I just said is a minority type angle especially to suuma who plays games straight up ( I respect that and his capping and he is one of the best). I am on the other side in that I feel there is a bigger picture when it comes to this chess game, the NFL. If this line sticks at -2.5, with McCoy not playing and Rex already beating the jets, is this a gift? Well....as we all know nothing gets handed to anyone in this league and usually when it's too good to be true, it is. I'm gonna watch this line movement- right now all signs point to the jets but it's too good to be true. I thought I would mention this too; I thought this was interesting: there is an NFL commercial that shows the steelers three times in it along with other teams who have all clinched playoff spots. What is the commercial about? The NFL PLAYOFFS. It plays no bearing on my picks but it is very interesting....... GL TO ALL

    Spot on with this post. Pittsburgh laid down last week, no way they didn't get in this week. Big Ben over fitz and the league agreed. Very eerie how bad the jets looked in the opponents territory; it wasn't a coincidence. my trap comment in my eyes was right on. Great year by the jets though suuma. GL in the playoffs bud

When Rex Ryan said "maybe we are going to run the ball 40 times a game next year" I knew the Bills won't make the playoffs. Rex is a great motivator and was a great defensive mind at New York, but he doesn't know how to run an offense. He thinks that if his team can pound the ball, he is going to win a lot of Football games. But he isn't able to pay a statistics geek to tell him that there is virtually no correlation between yards per carry and scoring points.

    70% of the winning teams have more total rush yards than their opponent because they milk the clock in the second half and the losing team needs to air it out. That's the whole secret. That's why playoff defenses show low numbers. Total yards just mean NOTHING. The Bills are the number one team in total rushing yards per game but they are far away from the playoffs. A good running game sets up the passing game and sometimes you might see a RB breaking tackles for a 60yd TD. But in the long run you need to pass efficiently to score points. If someone says this is bullsh*t, just go on and I will bomb you with several examples and explanations. Look what the Seahawks and Chiefs do without Lynch and Charles.

    The Bills from 2014 had the best overall defense in the league. They were #1 in pass DVOA and #12 in run DVOA. They had the best pass rush in the league. Rex Ryan turned this defense into complete bullsh*t. Before the Cowboys game they were the #29 total defense in DVOA, #22 in pass and #30 in rush. The Cowboys game was much closer than people think. The Cowboys were moving the chains without Dez Bryant and Kellen Moore at QB AT Buffalo. They have the #18 scoring defense at 21.9 PPG. Their offense looks very good by looking at the numbers (#7 total DVOA) and that's something that made me shaking my head so I took a look deeper, because watching tape tells us a different story. Their offensive efficiency doesn't really translate to their offensive PPG at 22.7 (#13). They have a variance of 10% in their DVOA numbers which is the third-worst value. It means they have been playing VERY inconsistently. Also their PPG are inflated due to two big wins against one of the worst defenses in the league of the Miami Dolphins. The eye-test proves me right: this is an average offense. After reading that stuff, add to that: the Bills have played a below average schedule. The Jets have also played a worse schedule BUT there is one difference: the Jets have a top-5 defense and a top-10 offense scoring wise. That's the difference between a 7-8 and a 10-5 team. The Bills have two quality wins on their schedule: vs. HOU and at NYJ. The latter one is the game I just watched again this morning:

    In week 10, the Bills caught the Jets in a terrible spot. I had a lean on the Bills in this game. The Jets were in the middle of their bad stretch of the season and were on a short week after they barely won vs. the Jaguars. The Bills blew out the Dolphins off their bye week and Rex Ryan had his players motivated like heck. The Jets just came out flat during the first half. But even though the score was 19-3 Bills at some point, the game itself was much closer than people think and the Jets beat themselves in this game with a turnover ratio of 0-4. It was just a terrible spot for them.

    -Brandon Marshall dropped a first down pass in Jets territory that led to a FG: 3-3
    -Devin Smith fumbled the kickoff return for a return TD: 9-3 Bills
    -Missed tackles & poor coverage by Davis on Karlos Williams: 19-3 Bills
    -Chris Ivory fumbled in Jets territory which lead to a FG: 22-3

    After the last score the Jets shut the Bills offense down for 23 minutes and moved the chains for two touchdowns but it wasn't enough. They also had a turnover on downs on 4th and 2 in the Bills' red zone. If Bowles had gone for the FG, this game would have went to overtime! They weren't able to overcome the four turnovers and the poor first half performance.

    The Bills have been motivated but they weren't the better team matchup-wise. When they didn't have a short field, the Jets defense shut them completely down. Tyrod Tailor was scrambling around, he got sacked 6 times. The Bills put ONE single drive of more than 60 yards together, that's it.

    The Jets have been playing consistently on both sides of the ball. They can start fast, they can close out games. This isn't the same old Jets team. Todd Bowles brought a whole new attitude into this organization. Ryan Fitzpatrick has shown very good QB play and Marshall/Decker are the best WR tandem in the league. Chris Ivory and Bilal Powell can punish opposing defenses on the ground and on screen/shuffle passes. This is the 10th best passing offense in DVOA, 2nd best RZ offense, the 6th best scoring offense & the 11th best 3rd down offense. The defense has been STELLAR. They just held the Patriots to 1/10 on third downs and 13 offensive points recently. The pass rush will once again get to Tyrod Tailor and Revis has been playing better since he came back from concussion.

    LeSean McCoy is likely done, Marcell Dareus is doubtful after he had no feeling in his hand on Sunday, Mario Williams has a clinch with Rex Ryan, Stephon Gilmore is out, Nigel Bradham & Charles Clay are Q, Robert Woods is out, Ronald Darby was out last Sunday.

    This already poor playing defense has some serious personnel issues. The Jets are on a roll and they are going to score at will here with the right gameplan. Without McCoy, Woods and probably Clay, I can't see the Bills offense keeping more than 13 points on the board against this Jets defense.

    Summary: if you want to bet the Bills, keep in mind that you are taking the worse team which is banged up and you are relying solely on the hope that the Jets bring another turnover-festival because the motivational speech of Rex Ryan won't be enough. He just doesn't have the personnel to compete with a hot Jets team in their biggest game in four years.

    Don't be a fool, take the better team!

    This pick shows you are nothing more than an overreaction Monday public square with zero understanding of the true nature of the NFL or line value.

    Pro tips for everyone that OP doesn't understand:
    -Buy low, sell high
    -Squares bet teams, sharps bet lines

    Jets are at their highest just because they won an OT game vs. Pats. If they lose that game, Bills are probably favored here. OP is also just betting the Jets because they're the Jets, regardless if the line is chit and makes zero sense.

    Thanks for the fade

    1-2 yesterday. Got backdoored on CIN and then got a return by an OAK backdoor cover.

    Once again, congrats Bills bettors. Their defense is still horrible like I said. I just didn't expect the worst offensive output of the Jets season.

    Jets had 7 or 8 dropped passes that killed drives, missed a FG, threw a red zone INT and still put up 17 points on the road. Now you know why it was the best offensive season in franchise history and how the Bills defense declined under Rex Ryan.

    Their offense was limited and benefited from bad special teams play. They used 6 linemen and underneath throws to Sammy Watkins and out-routes with Greg Salas but it was successful enough because the Jets were just so bad.

    On to the playoffs!

    Interesting that everytime I call you out, you hide and don't respond. Then you come back later with a nonsense-comment. Are you afraid?

    "Maybe you are using the same sources that told you to bet the Lions +4 versus the Cardinals as a lock? Or the Lions +2.5 over the Vikes as your game of the month?"

    "FadeORdie my friend. If we have learned just ONE thing this season, it's that your fade-the-public talk is pure bullsh*t as you went no better than 50% with your assumptions in my thread. If we count your isolated picks you posted in my thread you went like 2-7 ?!"

    2-2 not 1-2 Suuma. You took the Niners over the Rams too!

    (And about those dropped passes. Perfect timing Jets. Right in Rex's back yard)....
