Jacksonville Jaguars (-3) @ Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills could very well win this matchup. That sounds insane when the Jacksonville Jaguars were an AFC contender and the Bills were contending for the first overall pick. Now, both these teams are in interesting spots.

After the loss last week to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Jaguars are basically eliminated from the playoffs. Blake Bortles is still the starting quarterback somehow, and there’s no reason for this team to fight for anything. Jalen Ramsey is still talking, and a media darling team is now on the wrong side of rumors. It’s gotten so bad, there are rumors that Ramsey could be sent packing in the offseason.

Meanwhile, Josh Allen has a little extra something on this matchup. Before the season, Ramsey called him trash before he could even throw a snap that counts. Now, he can prove him wrong playing against each other. The Buffalo defense will take over this game, and will lead the Bills to victory. I can’t believe I am saying that, but this will be rock bottom for Jacksonville.

Cleveland Browns @ Cincinnati Bengals (-3)

The Cincinnati Bengals look like a completely different team since A.J. Green went down with a toe injury. Reports say that Green has a good chance to return this week, which would be huge. The Bengals still have a chance to take a wild card spot. They are percentage points behind the Ravens for the last playoff spot.

The Browns, on the other hand, are just trying to see what kind of product they can put on the field on a weekly basis. Baker Mayfield put together one of his best weeks before the bye, and now he can gain some momentum going into this matchup.

Obviously, the key to this game is on the sideline. Hue Jackson is now a coach with the Bengals. He probably knows a little bit about the players on the other side. As bad a head coach as he was, one would hope he’d have some kind of insight. It’s not like they are going up against Vince Lombardi. This is Gregg Williams on the other side. Go with the Bengals, even with the points.
