1. Home: Buffalo Bills

The Jets and Bills faced off in New Jersey in last season’s opening game. All things pointed towards a win for the Jets until C. J. Mosley left with an injury that would essentially end his season. After he left the game, it was all Bills.

The Bills stole the first game of season series and went on to win 10 regular season games and make the playoffs. This past offseason they added the likes of Stefon Diggs and positioned themselves strongly within the division.

Mentioned multiple times already, but winning at home is a must. Also, beating divisional rivals is a must. Therefore, beating the Bills at MetLife Stadium needs to happen in 2020.

On paper, Buffalo probably looks like the favorite to win the division. However, health can lead to a lot of good things for the Jets this upcoming season, making them a competitor for that title too.

In this three-horse race for that divisional crown, winning at home against divisional opponents will be the difference. Getting this one is a must, and it would be huge.

There would be nothing more demoralizing than losing a game like this in front of your home fans. A feeling Jets fans have endured too often recently.
