The upcoming Monday Night Football matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Buffalo Bills has football bettors buzzing with excitement. Analysts like Jason Logan are weighing in on the early spread lean, which currently favors the Bills at -5.5. Logan believes that the Bills have the advantage with home field and extra rest coming off a Thursday Night Football win.
The odds for this game have shifted since the summer, with the initial look-ahead line favoring Buffalo by -5. However, recent performances by the Jaguars have given bettors pause. Despite some close calls in Week 1, Jacksonville has struggled to find their rhythm on offense, particularly with quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s accuracy issues.
On the other side of the ball, the Bills have shown promise with their imposing receiving corps, which includes tall targets like tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox. Buffalo’s high-scoring offense has put up a total of 65 points in their first two games, posing a challenge for the Jaguars’ defense.
In terms of the over/under, the total points are currently set at 46.5, a decrease from the summer projection of 49. Jacksonville’s offensive struggles have contributed to this shift, as they have had trouble converting in the red zone and on third downs.
Defensively, Jacksonville may have a chance to shine against Buffalo, despite facing a formidable offense. The Jaguars showed improvement in Week 2 against the Browns, keeping them out of the end zone for most of the game.
As the game approaches, NFL fans and bettors alike will be watching closely to see if the Jaguars can overcome their early season challenges and put up a fight against the Bills on Monday night.
