Sunday's New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills matchup is crucial as the AFC East title is still up for grabs.

The Bills hold a tiebreaker over the New England Patriots with both teams sporting identical 10-6 records heading into Week 18.

Therefore, a win over the lowly Jets locks up the AFC East divisional crown for Buffalo and all the playoff advantages that come with it.

Still, a 16-point spread is a large one to cover, so how will Sunday's Jets vs. Bills matchup play out?

The Action Network's NFL Pro Projections make this spread Bills -17.7, suggesting that there's very little value in this spread.

The over/under, however, is a different story.

New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills Betting Prediction

Our NFL betting model sets the Jets vs. Bills total at 44.9, identifying plenty of value on the over considering the current consensus line of 41.5.

Sure, Buffalo is expecting ugly weather on Sunday afternoon, but there's still a big 7.8% edge when comparing the current total to our projection, leaving some leeway to account for the weather.

In fact, there are some differences regarding the Jets vs. Bills total across the market, so be sure to visit The Action Network's NFL Live Odds Page to pinpoint the best possible number.

For example, the market is essentially settled at 40.5, but savvy bettors can increase this monster edge even further by shopping around and snagging over 40, which is available at DraftKings Sportsbook.

PRO Projections Pick: Over 40
