The winner of this game could be tied for first place by the end of Sunday, if the Patriots lose to the Broncos. These two teams have very contrasting offenses, the Bills like to run and the Jets prefer to throw the ball.

Look for the Jets to try to run the ball early in the game. Kevan Barlow will get his big shot in this game against the Bills porous run defense that’s allowing 137.5 rushing yards per game. If the Jets can run at all, Chad Pennington will use play-action passing to attack the Bills rookie safeties. WRs Lauvernues Coles (253 yards rec.) and Jerricho Cotchery (186 yards rec.) will seriously test the Bills secondary.

The Bills are very conservative on offense. RB Willis McGahee (161 yards rushing) will be the key to the Bills winning this game. If McGahee can move the chains and keep the Jets offense off the field, it will shorten the game. All Losman will have to do then is manage the game and try to avoid mistakes. It will be easier said than done against Jonathan Vilma and the rest of the Jets defense.

I think the Jets will win this game simply because they are the better team.
