4 thing to watch for plus a prediction for Jaguars vs. Bills

13 hours ago 1

To help preview the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Buffalo Bills' AFC wild-card matchup, we've called in some help.

Nick Wojton, the managing editor of Bills Wire, answered a handful of our questions to provide some additional insight into this Buffalo team.

Let's dive in.

Momentum can be big heading into the playoffs. How have the Bills fared in recent weeks?

Wojton: "That is probably one thing the Bills do not have. Yes, they won four in a row, but along with sitting their starters in the season finale, some of those wins, like a 23-20 game over the lowly Browns, were not exactly momentum-building. The Jaguars likely have much more momentum going into this one."

Throughout the season, what has been the strength of this Bills team?

Wojton: "It's always Josh Allen, but when he gets a running game alongside him with James Cook? The Bills can't be stopped on offense. That won't be an easy task against the Jags."

On the flip side, when opponents have found success against the Bills, how have they done that?

Wojton: "Stopping Cook, but defensively, teams manage to get off to hot starts against this defense pretty often. Buffalo has done well to tighten up in the second half of games, but life would be much easier if they started games better."

Who is an under-the-radar player on this Bills team to know?

Wojton: "Cornerback Tre'Davious White has been solid defensively after he had a rough year or two before returning to the Bills. Overall, tight end Dalton Kincaid is not a household name, but he's easily Buffalo's best receiver. He needs to go full Travis Kelce in the postseason."

Prediction: Who wins and why?

Wojton: "For nothing other than a gut feeling, I think it's the Bills' year. I said out loud while watching their season opener, 'if they don't get to the Super Bowl this year, they never will...' and that was before a lot of big-time quarterbacks in the AFC missed the postseason. I'll go Bills 34-24."
