Matt Levine: The Jaguars are entering this game with some level of desperation after starting the season 0-2. However, having to play in Buffalo against the Bills is never easy and it will be more of the same struggles for Jacksonville. Buffalo takes down the Jaguars and puts head coach Doug Pederson on the hot seat.
Prediction: Bills 27, Jaguars 17
Jeremy Hanna: Both sides have great quarterbacks with Trevor Lawrence and Josh Allen and offenses to match. But the Bills have one of the most surprisingly effective defenses right now, especially with Von Miller seemingly having a resurgence this season. Buffalo is going to shut down Jacksonville’s offense just like they did with Miami a week and a half ago.
Prediction: Bills 31, Jaguars 17
John Robinson IV: The Bills will beat the Jaguars as their tandem of quarterback Josh Allen and running back James Cook will wear down Jacksonville. Their defense will shut down Trevor Lawrence and company.
Prediction: Bills 24, Jaguars 3
Ricardo Sandoval: The Bills dominated their division opener last week, and with 10 days of rest, they should do the same to the lowly Jaguars. The Jaguars are led by former No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence, but they have not looked great. The Jaguars are ranked 29th in the points per game, compared to the Bills, ranked No. 2, averaging 32.5 points per game. The Bills should have another easy win on Monday.
Prediction: Bills 31, Jaguars 17
Eva Geitheim: Bills over Jaguars because even though the Jaguars have been a sneaky kryptonite against the Bills, the Bills are a more balanced team this time around.
Prediction: Bills 27, Jaguars 20
James Brizuela: The Bills continue to show they might be the team to compete with the Kansas City Chiefs for the AFC crown. Though the Jaguars proved to be tough against the Dolphins in Week 1, they are not the team everyone hoped they would be. Expect the Jaguars’ defense to contain the Bills for a bit, but not the entire game once Josh Allen gets cooking.
Prediction: Bills 28, Jaguars 17
Noah Camras: Unfortunately, we’re going to have a unanimous winner on Monday night. The Bills are the much better team on both sides of the ball, and Josh Allen is going to make sure his team moves to 3-0 to open the season. Playing in front of the Bills Mafia will make this game a blowout.
Prediction: Bills 31, Jaguars 14
