Buffalo Bills (12-5) @ Jacksonville Jaguars (13-4) Preview

Buffalo enters the postseason with an offense that has found its balance late in the year, pairing efficient quarterback play with a more consistent rushing attack. The Bills have been far more disciplined over the final month, cutting down turnovers and controlling tempo, which has allowed their defense to play aggressively without being exposed. Their ability to dictate pace early will be critical on the road in a playoff environment.

Jacksonville counters with a physical, grind-it-out style that plays well at home. The Jaguars are comfortable shortening games, leaning on their run game, and forcing opponents to execute long drives. Defensively, Jacksonville has been solid at limiting explosives, but they can be vulnerable to sustained pressure if opponents win first down consistently.

This matchup likely comes down to third-down efficiency and red-zone execution. Buffalo has the higher ceiling offensively, but Jacksonville’s home-field edge and ability to force patience could keep this tight well into the second half. If the Bills protect the football, they control the outcome; if not, the Jaguars are well-positioned to capitalize.

Injury trends show both teams managing peripheral contributors but likely having core skills available. Jacksonville’s crowd and situational football savvy give them an edge in controlling tempo, while Buffalo’s passing game and dual threat in the run game give them the weaponry to turn explosive plays into momentum. As for weather, expect mild and dry, high 60s, light winds — ideal conditions for offense.
