Buffalo heads to Jacksonville for a kickoff that pits preseason expectations against a season-long surge. 

The Bills land here as the No. 6 seed after a 12-5 run, now asked to win on the road as 1-point favorites despite carrying less market shine than August’s predictions.

Jacksonville earned this stage by flipping the script entirely, riding an eight-game winning streak into EverBank Stadium as the No. 3 seed.

What our Post expert thinks about Bills vs. Jaguars

It’s tough to fade Josh Allen in this playoff field. His resume includes statement wins against Kansas City and a 21-point comeback against New England, even as the Bills finished just 8-9 ATS. 

Jacksonville’s offense has been the real separator late, averaging nearly 34 points during the winning streak as Trevor Lawrence plays the most efficient football of his career. 

The tension sits in style: the Jaguars stay aggressive when scoring first, and with a sky-high total, early control could decide whether this turns into a shootout or a grind the Bills never wanted.
