• Location: Highmark Stadium (Orchard Park, N.Y.)
• Forecast: 22 degrees, 23% chance of snow
• Wind: 9 mph NW

Betting + fantasy impact: This is the coldest projected forecast of the Week 18 slate. It's unclear whether Buffalo will rest starters this weekend, and that's reflected in a surprisingly short 7-point spread. It's been a month since the Jets lost by less than 20 points.
