Sunday NFL Pick
The Buffalo Bills will be a home dog today when they host the reeling Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags have lost 6 in a row and are just 1-3 on the road. The Bills will have their rookie quarterback Josh Allen back in the lineup. This kid is a true competitor and can make things happen. Buffalo hasn’t forgotten last season when they lost to the Jags in the Wild Card game and would love nothing more than to put a dagger in these guys today. The Bills will be well-rested after coming off a bye from last week and will have 80,000 Western New Yorkers in the stands to back them up.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS +3
