Jaguars Slight Favorites as Wild Card Clash With Bills Kicks Off in Jacksonville

A late swing toward Jacksonville reflects concern over wind affecting a Buffalo kicking unit under scrutiny.

Overview

  • Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. local at EverBank Stadium, with U.S. television coverage on CBS and international streaming options available.
  • The betting line flipped to Jacksonville -1.5 on DraftKings, and several prediction-market and analyst picks lean toward the Jaguars.
  • Forecasts call for overcast skies near 65°F with northwest winds around 10 mph and gusts up to 21 mph, conditions that could influence field goals and extra points.
  • Buffalo’s league-leading rushing attack meets Jacksonville’s top-ranked run defense, a strength-on-strength matchup expected to shape offensive plans.
  • Josh Allen has been managing an ankle issue since Week 16 and the Bills’ kicking situation remains a talking point with Matt Prater expected and Matthew Wright added as insurance, while Trevor Lawrence enters on a strong late-season run.
