    A classically cool and crisp fall evening is expected when the Buffalo Bills clash with the New York Jets and interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich on Monday Night Football.

    It’s the second Monday night game for the Bills this season and their fourth primetime game in just six games. Wind could be a factor, however, with breezy conditions and gusts of almost 50km/h expected at kick-off.

    The national weather forecast for East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Monday calls for a game temperature in the low 50s and mostly clear skies. The wind will be from the west at a speed of 25 km/h, with gusts up to 46 km/h and there is very little chance of precipitation.

    The AccuWeather forecast predicts slightly cooler evening temperatures at Metlife Stadium on Monday evening, but similar cloud cover and a chance of rain. The wind forecast is also about the same, although the AccuWeather forecast expects slightly slower maximum gusts of 27 mph.

    How the weather of Bills vs. Jets affects the odds and betting

    The Bills are 2.5-point favorites over the Aaron Rodgers-led Jets, with an over-under of 41 points.

    As wind speeds rise above the NFL average of 7 miles per hour, passing statistics decrease, both in production and efficiency, according to betting site covers.com. It’s not just passing that is affected. When winds reach 20 miles per hour, as expected on Monday, the average field goal distance drops by about 25 feet and the conversion rate also drops by 6%.

    • The Bills lead the all-time series over the Jets 69-58, but despite the huge number of games against each other, have only played in the postseason once, in 1981, which the Bills won 31-27. Buffalo defeated the Jets the last time they played, 32-6, on Nov. 19, 2023.
    • The Bills and Jets play Monday, October 14 at 8:15 PM at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The game will be broadcast on ESPN. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will call the game.
