One of the best and oldest rivalries in pro football will renew on Monday night. Since 1960 and the founding of the American Football League, the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets have shared the same division. Now, they are in a battle for the lead in the AFC East. Following a hot start, Buffalo has cooled off. Now, the vultures are said to be hovering over the Bills. But veteran gamblers can tell you that Buffalo is at its best when pressed against a wall. Meanwhile, the New York Jets are one of the biggest disappointments in the early going. Aaron Rodgers is not making the expected difference for the Jets.
The Bills and Jets Week 6 showdown is the ESPN Monday Night matchup.
There will be enormous betting on the NFL using bitcoin interest in this ancient rivalry. The Jets season is already on the line as Aaron Rodgers and New York try to recover from a poor performance.

CJ Stroud threw for 331 yards and a touchdown. Also, Ka'imi Fairbairn’s tiebreaking 59-yard field goal as time expired lifted Houston to the victory.

A punt backed the Bills up to their three. Subsequently, they punted after three straight incomplete passes to give Houston one last chance.
“Overall, that’s on me,” Buffalo coach Sean McDermott said. “We've just got to do a better job. I have to do a better job in that situation.”
Finally, Dare Ogunbowale had a 5-yard run to set up Fairbairn’s game-winner. Meanwhile, Josh Allen was 9 of 30 for 131 yards and a touchdown as the Bills lost for a second straight week. Previously, they opened the season with three straight wins. Allen struggled before halftime again Sunday.
