1st game Falcons fans should watch: Jets @ Bills, Sunday at 1 pm ET on CBS

Well, the AFC East division is basically the complete opposite of the Atlanta Falcons division. Each team is at least .500, with the Bills being in first place and the Jets being in third place.

Normally, a first-place team against a third-place team wouldn’t be noteworthy but the top three teams are all separated by one win each. This game between the Jets and Bills could have huge implications as we near the postseason.

If the Jets win, they would be within one game of the Bills, but if the Bills win, they would be nearly impossible to catch.

The Bills are certainly favored to win for good reason, but will a desperate Jets team find a way to pull off an upset? Maybe, maybe not. It should be a tough battle.

The other game to keep an eye on is the Eagles at the Giants which will take place at the same time. It is an eerily similar scenario.
