How the weather between Bills and Jets affects the odds and bets

With an over-under of 41 points, the Bills are 2.5-point favorites over the Aaron Rodgers-led Jets.

When wind speeds increase above the NFL average of 7 miles per hour, pass ratings drop, both in production and efficiency, according to betting site Covers.com. It’s not just passing by that is affected either. When the wind reaches 20 miles per hour, which is expected with gusts on Monday, the average field goal distance drops by about 7 yards and the conversion rate also drops by 6%.

• The Bills lead the all-time series over the Jets 69-58, but despite the sheer volume of games against each other, they have only played in the postseason once, in 1981, which the Bills won 31-27. Buffalo defeated the Jets 32-6 in their last game on November 19, 2023.
• The Bills and Jets play at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Monday, October 14th at 8:15 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will dominate the game.
