Buffalo Bills vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Betting Picks & Player Props

The first Monday night double-header of the 2024 campaign begins with a matchup between the Bills, who will look to remain one of just five undefeated teams by the end of Week 3, and the Jaguars, who will look to avoid joining the Titans (and possibly the Bengals) as the only winless teams through three weeks. There’s value to be had at many NFL betting sites, and we’ve got you covered with the best game picks as well as some juicy player props to boot.

Since going down 17-3 to start their season opener against the Cardinals, the Bills have outscored their opponents 62-21. Kyler Murray and company did a number on them in Week 1, but they learned from their mistakes and employed the solutions in Week 2, as they made Miami’s speedy gonzales offense look like molasses even before Tua Tagovailoa’s regrettable injury.

The Bills have put up a lot of points, but they haven’t exactly been putting up gaudy statistics. Josh Allen is averaging under 200 yards per game passing, and James Cook is only 14th in rushing yards per game. However, both have been extremely efficient, with Cook averaging 5.0 yards per carry, near the top of the league, and Allen has the third best passer rating and fifth-best completion percentage.

The most important stat has been the takeaways, however. They’ve only committed one, and Allen, who was second in the NFL last year with 18 interceptions, has not thrown a single one yet. The Bills have coughed it up just once while taking it away four times themselves.

While Allen has been in superman mode, Jags QB Trevor Lawrence has been in some other sort of mode, as he has just 26 completions through two games. His 51.0 completion percentage is third-worst in the league, and last week he didn’t even complete half his passes.

Buffalo’s offense looks like it hasn’t skipped a beat since the departures of their top two WRs during the offseason—one of whom now plays for the Jags—and Jacksonville’s offense hasn’t been able to get out of first gear despite the bevy of weapons at Lawrence’s disposal.

The Bills’ offense is no longer one dimensional, reliant solely on Allen’s arm. Now, he and Cook form one of the best rushing duos in the league, and Allen’s cast of good-not-great wideouts has served him very well so far this season.

Based on their performances so far this season, sports betting sites are doing us a favor placing this spread so low for Buffalo. Take the team that is 15-3 at home to cover a small -5.5 point spread against a team led by Lawrence, who is 9-17 on the road.

Best Bet: Buffalo Bills -5.5 Point Spread (-110)

Broncos vs. Steelers Player Prop Betting Odds

Gabriel Davis spent his first four years playing for the Buffalo Bills, playing second fiddle to Stefon Diggs and serving as the team’s top deep threat. However, he departed in free agency amid social media posts that suggested he felt underappreciated in Western New York. With that in mind, we expect him to have a big day during his homecoming.

His receiving yards prop is only 38.5, which should be an easy over considering he’s had 43+ in his first two games with the Jags. While the Bills have shut down opposing wideouts so far, they’ll have more trouble doing that against Jacksonville, who have three that can cause damage.

Davis will surely be left to his own devices once or twice on the night, it’s just a matter of Lawrence finding him when he does. Davis hasn’t scored yet this year either, but at +240 he’s worth a look here, we wouldn’t be surprised if head coach Doug Pederson was looking for him in the red zone specifically.

Best Bets

• Gabe Davis Over 38.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
• Gabe Davis Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+240)
