Jacksonville hasn’t been productive on the road, being held under 20 points in four of the give games. Now they head to Buffalo to face a defense that is very difficult to move the ball against and good at forcing turnovers. While Buffalo has a capable offense, the Jags have been difficult to consistently move against. Look for the Jags to do enough to keep the total low.
