Thursday Night Football Preview: Bills vs. Jets

Color Rush is back, folks and normally, this would be one for the ages. Bills vs. Jets is almost the epitome of Color Rush and the only matchup that can top it is the Jaguars' mustard vs. the Titans' baby power blue.

I mean just look at those beauts. Unfortunately for all Color Rush fans, we won't be treated to the the original Bills- Jets Color Rush, which is such a shame. Let's break down the matchup.

Bills:

The Bills will supposedly rocking all-white uniforms. They do look clean, but they are just too normal looking. They need to be slightly different in accordance with the Color Rush tradition. That being said, I do like them. The Bills are favored -3.0 on the road, and while they don't have the Color Rush advantage, they are clearly the better football team. I like Tyrod Taylor a lot and Shady McCoy is a solid running back. The addition of Kelvin Benjamin will add more depth at wide receiver and the Bills offense is looking good for a playoff push. However, the Bills Defense is shaky. They traded away Marcell Dareus, which will weaken their run defense and they give up over 300 yards a game in passing yards. With all that being said, the Bills are in a prime spot to be a playoff team.

Jets:

The Jets are the clear Color Rush favorites and I would look for them to cover +3.0. Those all-green unis are the exact advantage they need. The Jets are just a wonky team. Are they tanking or are they trying to make the playoffs? Who knows. They Jets certainly do not. While I don't think the Jets will win this game, I do think they will cover. They have played some close games recently and have just enough pieces to cover.
