The Buffalo Bills roll into Week 10 with a dominant 7-1 record, holding the AFC’s best overall mark and sitting atop the AFC East. They are four games into an impressive win streak, heading into a matchup against a New York Jets team that has lost four straight themselves. This isn’t just about another game, though; it is about the Bills’ continued push and whether they can keep up this scorching pace.
The AFC’s Top Dog Has Only One Hiccup So Far
Under new head coach Joe Brady, the Bills haven’t missed a beat. In fact, they have tightened up aspects that tripped them in the past, putting them firmly in pocket. Their 7-1 record speaks volumes, positioning them as the best in the AFC, with the 5-4 New England Patriots as their closest division rival. The only real “hiccup” this season? A three-point loss to those same Patriots. At the time, New England was reeling, but somehow, they remembered their championship ways against Buffalo, which has to sting a bit given the rivalry. That minor stumble probably has quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills locked in, ready to fight off a 2-7 Jets squad hoping to play spoiler. FanDuel Sportsbook sees it too, listing the Bills as 7.5-point road favorites over the Jets. The over/under is set at a surprising 50.5, which absolutely hints at a massive day for Buffalo’s offense.
This Bills Offense Is Absolutely Elite
Look, the numbers don’t lie. Buffalo boasts an elite offense, leading the entire NFL in points per game with 32.0. They also sit at the top for total yards per game (386.4) and first downs (189). Under Brady, this team wants the ball first, and they are going to score. A lot. We are talking 33 points or more in five of their eight games this season. What’s wild is that they’re a run-first team with a really difficult attack. Running back James Cook III is currently fifth in the NFL in rushing yards with 814 yards on 169 carries. He is only 66 yards behind the league leader, which means he is absolutely in contention to repeat as the NFL rushing champion this season. While their core pass catchers might leave a bit to be desired statistically, the passing attack still passes the eye test. It might not be prolific on paper, but it sure gets the job done.
With the Bills rolling into MetLife Stadium, they are looking to extend that four-game win streak and continue their dominant season. It is all about maintaining that top spot in the AFC, and you can bet James Cook III is eyeing that league rushing title, too.
