Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Buffalo Bills Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions Recap

After both legs of the prior week’s same game parlay under the Monday night lights paid out, we failed to cash a single leg of the three recommended in last Monday night’s tilt between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills in a game you can’t strike from my memory bank fast enough. What the heck was I smoking when I capped this game to think Jacksonville had a shot in front of the BillsMafia?! Truth be told, I wasn’t the only one that had the bright idea when you take into account all the game day steam that hit the Jags plus the points leading up to kick-off. I recommended getting in at five after it opened +6 and got as low as +4 before settling +4.5 come the opening kick. If you can believe it, Jacksonville proved to be a liability for Caesars Sportsbook with 54 percent of the bets and upwards of 60 percent of the handle residing on the visitors.

Any hope those with Jags tickets in hand had was immediately dashed when it took Josh Allen and the Bills offense 10 plays and go 70 yards in 5+ minutes on its opening possession to get out to an early lead. The only good news there was that Tyler Bass shanked the extra point. Didn’t matter. Trevor Lawrence looked like a deer in headlights all night. Before being resorted to the bench in the fourth quarter with the Jaguars trailing 40-10, the former No. 1 draft pick completed 21 of 38 passes for 178 yards and 1:1 TD/INT ratio never coming close to exceeding his passing yards prop or throwing a touchdown to Brian Thomas Jr. He was sacked four times, averaged just 4.7 yards per pass attempt, and led the Jaguars to a horrendous 2 of 13 showing on third down and 1 of 4 success rate in the red zone. His QB rating through three-plus quarters read 65.5 and he’s now been under center for Jacksonville in eight straight NFL odds losses. Doug Pederson’s derriere has been firmly supplanted on the hot seat with only Mike McCarthy (3-1) having shorter odds than his (4-1) to become the first coach fired. When are they going to ship this sad franchise off to London already!

The first of two matchups set to go under the lights of Monday Night Football to close out Week 3 NFL betting action takes us to Orchard Park, NY in front of the BillsMafia where the Buffalo Bills will attempt to remain undefeated against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It’s been a rough start to the campaign for Doug Pederson’s Jags who coughed one up the opening week against the Miami Dolphins before returning home and laying an egg against the Cleveland Browns. As for Sean McDermott’s squad, it took a barnburner from the Arizona Cardinals in its home opener, and followed it up with a waltz back to the ticket window for its supporters after once again opening up a can upon their division rivals down in Hard Rock Stadium. We cashed both legs of last week’s MNF same game parlay and plan to close the week strong once again – SLAM YOUR MAN!!

The NFL odds for this AFC tilt opened up with the Bills laying 3.5-points and the total lined 47.5. Both the side and total have undergone market corrections since first hitting the board. Action reports find a healthy 66% of the bets and just short of 60% of the money going the way of the home team forcing a line move up to -5 at Caesars Sportsbook. Total bettors look to be of the belief points are tough to come by with over 80 percent of the tickets and just short of 70 percent of the handle backing the under forcing linemakers to push the Over/Under down to 46 with 45.5 also available in other spots.

Reduced juice betting is one of the best ways for any sports bettor to save money and far too many people don’t take advantage of it. If you are not playing at a sportsbook that offers reduced juice betting then you are simply giving away money.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Buffalo Bills NFL Same Game Parlay:

The Jaguars will hit the Highmark Stadium turf with a chip on their shoulder after getting embarrassed at home last week. I’m sorry, but there’s too much talent residing on this roster, especially offensively, for the team to be averaging a pedestrian 15.0 points per game. The relationship between Pederson and Trevor Lawrence can best be described as rocky right now after watching the two jawing at one another on the sideline last week. I’m not exactly sure how Buffalo is getting it done, but the defense has shown well through the first two weeks holding the opposition to 179.0 passing yards (#13) and 19.0 points (#10) per game. That’s pretty darn good considering all the injuries the roster is currently ailing from on that side of the ball.

However, I’ll be staking a position against this magic act continuing Monday night with Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis, and rookie Brian Thomas Jr. certainly capable of taking the lid of what I deem to be a secondary playing well over its head. Buffalo’s back seven will also be without CB Taron Johnson and LB Terel Bernard which should allow T-Law to find his talented pass catchers downfield for a number of chunk yard plays. If a Jaguars O-Line that’s already allowed 3.5 sacks per game can keep him upright against Buffalo’s flukish pass rush, Lawrence will churn out his biggest showing of the young season.

James Cook had one of if not the best game of his career last week going off for 95 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns with his lone reception going for one of those scores from 17 yards out. Though Jacksonville has been extremely beatable through the air evidenced by the near 246 yards per game (#30) its secondary has been shredded for, it’s been pretty reliable at stopping the run holding Miami and Cleveland to 103.0 yards per game (#11) and 3.8 yards per carry (#7). I’ve never been a believer in Cooks as a runner and think he’ll have his work cut out for him tonight. That means it’ll be up to Josh Allen and the Bills passing attack to keep the team unscathed, and I’m not sold on that occurring either. Buffalo no longer possesses a premiere WR1. Instead, it’s loaded with a bunch of undersized targets that strike fear in no one. Through two games, Khalil Shakir has received the most burn turning his eight catches into 96 yards and a score. So be it if he gets his, I still don’t think it will be enough to defeat a game Jaguars outfit by margin with it having success against Buffalo’s overrated defense deep into the night.
