Bills vs Jaguars Prediction
The current betting odds have the Jaguars listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jaguars have looked great in their games this season with their 13-4 record overall which had them right at the top of the AFC South with one of the best records in the entire NFL. They have looked great on their home field too with their 7-1 home record this year. Meanwhile, the Bills have looked good in their games this season with their 12-5 record overall which had them right near the top of the AFC East. They have been a good road team too with their 5-3 road record this year. The Bills are off a 35-8 win over the Jets in their last one and they have looked really good over the last few weeks of the season. Their offense has been rolling all year with Josh Allen once again playing at a high level, but their defense has been a big issue for them all season. They don't have a good defense as they have been giving up a ton of points all year, and it could be an issue that they won't be able to overcome in this game. The Jags are off a 41-7 win over the Titans in their last one and they have been rolling in their games lately. They have won 8 games in a row now and they have some really good wins against top teams in the NFL too. Their offense has been rolling with Trevor Lawrence playing some of the best football of his career, and the defense has been great as they don't give up many points. The Bills have the experience along with one of the best QB's in the NFL to help them out here, but that defense is a big issue and could be the deciding factor in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jaguars to cover the spread in this game.

"It's an important week for us, obviously. Got to check the injury report because we've got some injuries popped up again. I think that's the first step, to know who's available for us. That'll be the first thing (Monday) morning item on the to-do list." - Sean McDermott after his team’s win against the Jets in their last game.
“Today is the biggest game in franchise history because it’s the next one. That’s it — because it’s the next one. That’s been the mindset and mentality of this group. They’ve stayed even-keeled.
