PREVIEW: The Bills couldn’t get anything going on offense in a 13-7 loss at Baltimore in Week 1, gaining just 160 total yards. They host the Jets this week, and Buffalo has dominated this series in recent seasons. The Bills have won five straight in this series, and they covered the spread in all five of those victories. Rex Ryan has a long history of success against New York’s starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, dating back to when Ryan was coaching the Jets, and Fitzpatrick was starting for the Bills. The numbers aren’t pretty if you’re a Jets fan. Fitzpatrick has started 12 games against Ryan, and he’s completed just 47.3 percent of his passes, throwing for 16 TDs and 12 INTs. He was brutal when the Jets lost at Buffalo 22-17 in the final game of last season, throwing for 181 yards on 16-of-37 passing, with a pair of TDs and three INTs. Despite the history, the public is backing the Jets to the tune of almost 60 percent according to Covers.com Consensus Analysis.
