Why the Bills can cover
The Bills have responded to their season-opening overtime loss to the New York Jets with a vengeance, outscoring their opponents 123-33 during their winning streak. Buffalo is looking to join the 1942 Chicago Bears as the only teams in NFL history to win four consecutive games by at least 28 points. The Bills have averaged 41 points and allowed 11 per contest during their current run.
Josh Allen leads the league with a 74.8 completion percentage after going 21-of-25 for 320 yards and four touchdowns against the Dolphins last week. The 27-year-old quarterback also ran for a score in the win, becoming the second player in NFL history (Aaron Rodgers in 2019) with a perfect passer rating (158.3), 300 passing yards, four TD tosses and a rushing touchdown in a game. Allen has thrown eight scoring passes and just one interception during Buffalo’s winning streak after having one and three, respectively, in the season-opener. See which team to pick here.
Why the Jaguars can cover
The Jaguars split their previous 10 games in London, one of the wins being a 34-31 triumph over Buffalo at Wembley Stadium in 2015. Including the playoffs, Jacksonville has won three of its last five meetings with the Bills, most recently registering a 9-6 victory in 2021 as a 15.5-point underdog. The Jaguars had the superior Josh Allen in that matchup, as their 26-year-old linebacker recorded eight tackles, one sack and one interception while also recovering a fumble.
Jacksonville’s Josh Allen has gotten off to a strong start this season and shares the NFL lead with six sacks. He is the first player in franchise history to have three or more sacks multiple times in a season and eighth in the NFL since 1982 to do so over his team’s first four games of a campaign. The University of Kentucky product is one sack away from matching his total over 17 contests last year and 4.5 shy of the career high he set as a rookie in 2019. See which team to pick here.
