Fearless Freddie’s Football Forecast
IMPROBABLE. The Buffalo Bills will take to the road to open the NFL postseason this Sunday afternoon. They’re heading south to battle the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 1 p.m. Wild Card Weekend matchup.
As the sixth seed in the AFC, the Bills meet the third-seeded Jaguars in the third of six win-or-go-home weekend games.
There have been seven wild-card teams that have gone on to win the Super Bowl, so do not despair, Bills Mafia.
The Bills should be well rested for this showdown and pull away in the second half. Expect James Cook to excel.
FREDDIE sees it this way:
Bills 27, JAGUARS 24
