I'm glad I sat out yesterday's action - wasn't feeling too strongly about either match-up but really enjoyed them both. That changes today though!
I'm excited for both fanbases here - I think the Bills have suffered PLENTY and with their donations to Andy Dalton's charity as a thank you for the Bengals knocking out the Ravens in Week 17 is pretty darn cool (better than the Trash Cans the Jags fans sent to the Texans WRT Jadaveon Clowney's clowny comments - which are going to be donated too, so all good).
I think the Bills offense will be completely smothered - the Patriots showed what can be done against the Bills and the Jaguars Defense is built with comparative superstars.
Bortles will do enough, Fournette is going to succeed against the Bills D (great article from the NYT about football speed - read this, and Sean McDermott will have plenty to learn from and think about during this offseason.
Jags to cover, and Jacksonville is the fanbase getting a playoff win out of this match-up today.
I picked Jags too. Though I'm starting to wonder if I should have taken the spread. Seems like I always pick ML. lol.
I don't know what it is, but I have a feeling Taylor will be able to play with the Jags. Their defence hasn't look as good as it did early on. Also depending how many touches Shady will be able to get.
Shady probably won’t be at 100%, so I’d be scared to back the bills. 9 points is a lot though...
Good call. Buffalo just doesn't have a consistent approach to the game, at all.
I think Jacksonville will be smothered by the Steelers, but it has been a decent season for them. Next year ought to see continued improvement.
