Rogers Centre, Toronto, Canada – 8:20 PM ET
Both the Jets and the Bills injected some life into their sluggish and unsatisfying seasons on Sunday, posting ugly but entirely effective wins over turnover-prone opponents. The Jets plucked four interceptions from Jake “Santa Claus” Delhomme – one of them a pick-six – to turn back the Carolina Panthers, 17-6. The Bills – under their new coach, interim boss and former defensive coordinator Perry Fewell – grabbed four interceptions from Miami quarterback Chad Henne to race past the Dolphins, 31-14.
The Arizona Cardinals will look to continue their 3 game winning streak as they travel to Tennessee to take on the revitalized 3 point favorite Titans at 4:15 PM ET at LP Field.

Sunday, November 29 – 1 PM ET
In the BetUS NFL betting odds, the Jets are listed as a three-point favorite, with a posted total of 41.5 points.
Here are some NFL football betting trends as they relate to this matchup:
The Minnesota Vikings are rolling smoothly this season and will try to end the 11 point underdogs Chicago Bears playoffs hopes at 4:15 PM ET at Metrodome in a NFC North clash.
All fingers are pointing towards Donavan McNabb to pull the Philadelphia Eagles within firing range of the playoffs. With the Cowboys winning another game against the Raiders, the lead in the NFC East is getting much larger. McNabb has been a known letdown when it comes to mounting pressure, and even though the Eagles have a sturdy record, their reputation is proceeding them as they host the Washington Redskins.
There’s absolutely nothing going right in Tampa Bay right now, but after they fired their two coordinators and promoted a positions coach to head coach, jettisoned the aging defensive stalwarts that defined their team and gave the role of quarterback to three guys with zero proven track record (Leftwich, Johnson, Freeman), there really wasn’t much hope for them.
