NFL Week 18 Bold Predictions: AFC East

New York Jets

The Jets will beat the Buffalo Bills

The New York Jets come into this week sitting at 3-13, but they’ll get to play the Bills’ backups (for the most part) as the Bills have nothing to play for. While the Jets aren’t very good, their starters should be able to do some damage against the Bills’ backups. We’re predicting a 17-14 Jets win in Buffalo.

Adonai Mitchell was a throw-in as part of the Sauce Gardner trade, but he’s quickly turned into the Jets’ most-targeted receiver since. While that’s a low bar to clear, Mitchell has put together some solid games with the Jets, and we’re predicting him to excel against the Bills’ backups this week with at least 80 receiving yards and a touchdown.
