At Week 9 we will see one of the fiercest battles at the AFC East: Jets at Bills.
The Bills are expecting a win to compensate for their loss to the Dolphins last week, and coming with a 5-2 record, they still have a great deal of chances to make it to the playoffs, and probably win the AFC East, but after the Jets, they will have a trip to Foxboro to face the Patriots, so both of these games are very important for a franchise that is having a great moment.
Bills quarterback Trent Edwards is a football fan before a starting quarterback, and he was happy when he saw Brett Favre coming out of retirement to play with the Jets, whom currently are 4-3. So he will probably be honored to defeat Favre and New York on such an important match for Buffalo.
But even though Edwards would like to defeat the future hall of famer at the quarterbacks duel, the real pressure in on the shoulders of the 11th-ranked Bills defense, whom gave up 314 passing yards to Miami last week.
During the last decade, these teams have seeing each other’s face 3 times with the Bills winning two of them, but it surely hasn’t been an easy task, and to see the Jets playing against Buffalo is more interesting this time as a veteran will be facing a quarterback is currently having his best season since he joined the NFL.
In history, these two teams have played 95 times against the other, and the Bills also command this record with 52 victories over 42 for New York.
So, adding this game to Titans/Packers and Patriots/Colts, we can expect a lot of great football at Week 9.
