Jacksonville faces arguably its toughest matchup of the entire season on Sunday when the 5-2 Buffalo Bills come to town. The Bills were a breakout team in 2020 as quarterback Josh Allen surged from a struggling young quarterback into an MVP candidate.
They came just short of a Super Bowl appearance when they fell to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship, and now they’re poised for another playoff run as they lead the AFC East after eight weeks.
Not many are giving the Jags a chance in this one, and in fact, the 14.5-point spread listed by Tipico Sportsbook is the largest in the NFL this week. As for the money line and over under, they are as follows:
| Spread | Moneyline | Total Points | |
| Buffalo Bills | -14.5
-108 |
-1,100 | O 48.5 -108 |
| Jacksonville Jaguars | +14.5
-112 |
+650 | U 48.5
-112 |
The Bills have an elite receiving corps between Stefon Diggs, Emmanuel Sanders, Cole Beasley and tight end Dawson Knox, and that should test a Jacksonville secondary that allowed big days to Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf on Sunday.
And unlike Seattle, whose defense was a potential weakness to be exploited, the Bills boast the best defense in football through the first eight weeks. They should be able to score with ease, and they’ll make it difficult for rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence to answer.
The Jaguars will look to pull off what would be one of the biggest upsets of the entire NFL season on Sunday when Buffalo comes to TIAA Bank Field at 1 pm.
