Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams both aim for stat milestones in Week 17 against the Bills.

The New York Jets will square off with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at Highmark Stadium in Week 17 of the NFL season, scheduled to kick off at 1:00 p.m. EST.

All week, conversations have swirled around two key milestones: Aaron Rodgers’ pursuit of his 500th career touchdown pass and Davante Adams’ chase for 1,000 receiving yards on the season. With just 72 yards separating Adams from the mark, the wide receiver reflected on the milestone during Friday's practice.

“It would be a crying shame not to be able to get (1,000 yards),” said Adams on Friday, his comments sparking a renewed focus on his production heading into Sunday’s game.

At the same time, Rodgers is just one touchdown away from becoming the fifth quarterback in NFL history to throw 500 touchdown passes. His longtime connection with Adams makes the potential milestone moment even more anticipated, as Adams also caught Rodgers’ 200th and 400th career touchdowns.

“Obviously, I’d love to,” Adams said about catching No. 500. “I got 200, I got 400, so it would be dope to get 500 as well.”

Meanwhile, the Jets announced that kicker Greg Zuerlein will return from injured reserve after missing multiple weeks with a knee injury, providing a much-needed boost to special teams. However, injuries continue to plague the team as they navigate the final stretch of the season. Davante Adams himself is nursing a hip injury sustained last week, though he is expected to play.

For the Bills, the rainy and windy conditions at Highmark Stadium could exacerbate challenges for a roster dealing with its own set of injuries. Several key players remain questionable or limited following practice this week, adding another layer of complexity to this AFC East showdown.


In light of these developments, our data analysts conducted 10,000 new simulations of the Jets-Bills matchup this afternoon, factoring in Adam's yardage goal, Rodgers’ touchdown milestone, and key player absences. The simulations were compared to current NFL betting odds to inform the updated Jets vs. Bills betting guide below.
