Jaguars Flip Line, Become Favorites Over Bills
11 Jan
Summary
- Betting line shifted three points, Jaguars now 1.5-point favorites.
- Bills have lost eight straight postseason road games.
- Josh Allen is 0-4 on the road in the postseason.
The betting line for the upcoming playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars has dramatically shifted, with the Jaguars now favored by 1.5 points. Initially, the Bills were slight favorites, but the line moved three points, indicating confidence in Jacksonville. This adjustment recognizes the Jaguars' superior season record and higher playoff seeding.
The Jaguars' home-field advantage is a crucial factor, especially given the Bills' history of struggling in playoff games away from home. Buffalo has lost their last eight postseason road contests, with their most recent playoff road victory occurring in the 1992 AFC Championship game.
Furthermore, Bills quarterback Josh Allen has a challenging record in away playoff games, standing at 0-4. Three of these losses were against Kansas City, and one was against Houston in a 2019 wild-card matchup. Sunday presents Allen an opportunity to secure a road playoff win in a field without top contenders like Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, or Lamar Jackson.
