Buffalo returns home pegged as a betting favorite for the first time in four games, and will be looking to build on a solid 4-1 SU and ATS run as home chalk.
The 2-8 Jaguars continued their downward spiral last weekend, dropping a 26-19 decision to the Detroit Lions as 5.5-point road underdogs, extending their current SU slide to five games, 1-4 ATS. Jacksonville is winless in 10 as a road underdog of seven or more points, but has covered in four of its past five.

The visiting club has held the edge at the sportsbook, going 4-1 ATS over the past five.
