Allen has dealt with right foot soreness that limited him in practice last week. For what it&#8217;s worth, last season Allen appeared briefly in Week 18 so that he could say he played in every game. Perhaps that will be in store again. <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/2975698\/james-cook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">James Cook<\/a>, <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/2060764\/joey-bosa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joey Bosa<\/a>, <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/2982991\/dalton-kincaid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dalton Kincaid<\/a>, <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/2186345\/dawson-knox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dawson Knox<\/a> and other players could get some extra time off before the postseason begins.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jets hunting draft pick.<\/strong>\u00a0It&#8217;s been a tough debut season for coach Aaron Glenn. The Jets are on their third quarterback &#8212; undrafted rookie <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/3163207\/brady-cook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brady Cook<\/a> &#8212; and are 3-13. They&#8217;ve lost each of their last three games by at least 20 points. But they also own the No. 3 overall pick in the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/cbssports.com\/nfl\/draft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NFL Draft<\/a> as well as the <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/IND\/indianapolis-colts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colts<\/a>&#8216; first-round pick &#8212; a selection that currently slots in at No. 18. Both picks could get even better this week, too, if the Jets and the Colts lose again.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bills hope run defense improves.<\/strong> Regardless of who plays and who doesn&#8217;t, Buffalo would like to see improvements from its run defense. Only the <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/NYG\/new-york-giants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Giants<\/a> are allowing more yards per carry than the Bills (5.3), though Buffalo did a nice job last week, limiting the <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/PHI\/philadelphia-eagles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> to just 82 yards on 26 carries (3.2 yards per attempt).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bills vs. Jets pick, prediction<\/p>\n<p>Without knowing exactly who is going to play for the Bills, this could be a tough one to pick. But if McDermott says the Bills want to win, then they should win. Plus Buffalo will be wearing the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/bills-red-helmets-super-bowl-era-uniforms-highmark-stadium-finale-jets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">red helmets and the throwback unis of the early &#8217;90s era squads<\/a> that went to &#8212; but lost &#8212; four straight Super Bowls. And you know that &#8220;Bills Mafia&#8221; doesn&#8217;t want to see that team from the Meadowlands get the last win at Highmark. Besides, the Jets have looked completely lifeless, so even if it&#8217;s Mitchell Trubisky leading the way for the hosts, they&#8217;re worth believing in.<strong> Pick: Bills -7, Over 38.5<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images The Buffalo Bills are looking to close out Highmark Stadium in style and potentially improve their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":487992,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[220241,220243,220245,220248,220247,220249,220246,204871,8995,220244,139599,199802,220240,2505,9002,8017,61660,50906,29308,8986,4716,5287,1232,1105,62,220242,67,132,68,220250],"class_list":{"0":"post-487991","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-afc-wild-card","9":"tag-bills-mafia","10":"tag-bills-vs-jets-kickoff-time","11":"tag-bills-vs-jets-live","12":"tag-bills-vs-jets-odds","13":"tag-bills-vs-jets-streaming","14":"tag-bills-vs-jets-tv-channel","15":"tag-brady-cook","16":"tag-buffalo-bills","17":"tag-buffalo-bills-new-york-jets","18":"tag-dalton-kincaid","19":"tag-dawson-knox","20":"tag-highmark-stadium","21":"tag-houston-texans","22":"tag-indianapolis-colts","23":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","24":"tag-james-cook","25":"tag-joey-bosa","26":"tag-josh-allen","27":"tag-los-angeles-chargers","28":"tag-new-york-giants","29":"tag-new-york-jets","30":"tag-nfl","31":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","32":"tag-sports","33":"tag-throwback-uniforms","34":"tag-united-states","35":"tag-unitedstates","36":"tag-us","37":"tag-where-to-watch-bills-vs-jets"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487991"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487991\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
