Predictions for the AFC Wild card matchup on Sunday afternoon

Sunday's NFL Wild Card Round doubleheader of betting action get things started at 1:05 p.m. on CBS from EverBank Field with the 9-7 Buffalo Bills going on the road to face the 10-6 Jacksonville Jaguars in an AFC clash. VietBet opened the Jaguars as seven-point home favorites with the total set at 40.

Buffalo was able to end the longest playoff drought in the NFL (1999) with the help of Cincinnati's stunning last-second upset against Baltimore late Sunday afternoon. The Bills took care of business by beating Miami 22-16 as two-point road favorites, but they still needed the Ravens' improbable loss to land the No. 6 seed in the six-team AFC field. Buffalo went 8-6-2 against the spread this season including a 3-5-1 ATS record when closing as an underdog.

The health of running back LeSean McCoy's ankle is an early storyline in this matchup and he should be considered day-to-day. His loss would put added pressure on quarterback Tyrod Taylor leading a Buffalo passing game that was ranked 31st in the NFL in yards per game. This unit was 29th in total yards and 22nd in scoring with 18.9 points per game.

The current NFL football betting odds posted on this game by Elite-rated VietBet have moved since the opening number and the Jags are now big 9.5 point home favorites.

Buffalo Bills                (+9.5, -120)
Jacksonville Jaguars  (-9.5, +100)

Over 39 points (-110)
Under 39 points (-110)

This will be Jacksonville's first appearance in the postseason since 2007 as the No. 3 seed after winning the AFC South this year. The Jaguars lost to Tennessee on Sunday 15-10 as 2.5-point road underdogs. They dropped their last two games of the season on the road after going 5-3 ATS at home this season. Jacksonville was 6-4 ATS in 10 games closing as a favorite and the total went OVER VietBet's closing line in four of its last six games overall.

After scoring 33 points in an 11-point loss to San Francisco, the Jaguars' offense only managed to score three points in Week 17 after the defense accounted for the team's only touchdown. With Blake Bortles at quarterback, Jacksonville was ranked sixth in the NFL in yards (365.9) and fifth in scoring with 26.1 PPG. The biggest strength was on the other side of the ball with a defense that was second in the league in both yards and points allowed.

With some sketchy play on offense by both teams heading into this matchup along with the Jaguars' defense playing at home, I am going with the UNDER 39 points on the current total posted at Vietbet as my 'best bet' pick in this one.
