Best Jets Team Ever?
Former NFL coach Rex Ryan is touting the 2023 edition of the Jets as listing the most talented roster in the history of the franchise. Along with Rodgers, other additions included multiple 1,000-yard rusher Dalvin Cook. There’s NFL OROY Garrett Wilson at WR and NFL DROY Sauce Gardner at CB.

Ryan is calling the Jets to win the Super Bowl. Now an analyst for ESPN, Ryan might be a bit biased. He coached the Jets to two AFC Championship games during his tenure as head coach of the team from 2009-14.
Bills Have Something to Prove
While Buffalo has won three successive AFC East titles, the Bills still haven’t got back to the Super Bowl since the 1990s. Buffalo will be debuting a new feature back. James Cook is replacing the departed Devin Singletary. He’s Dalvin Cook’s younger brother.
Monday night will be our first look at #Bills RB James Cook as the lead running back, a role both he and his teammates are excited for him to take over.
It'll also be a chance for James to even the score against his brother, Dalvin, who's now a division rival.#BillsMafia @WGRZ pic.twitter.com/CiC6mTtsp6

One thing Rodgers may have to worry about is that for the first time since 2021, Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer and Tre’Davious White are all healthy and slated to start in the Buffalo secondary. Each of this trio has been to the Pro Bowl.
Bills vs Jets Prediction
During his time with Green Bay, Rodgers was 2-0 SU and ATS against Buffalo. But you can be sure the Bills have been targeting this game from the moment the Rodgers hype machine switched on. Buffalo is 7-3 SU in the last 10 games against the Jets. Just one of those losses came at MetLife Stadium.
