The Jacksonville Jaguars will host the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs.
Kickoff at EverBank Stadium will be at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday. The game will be aired on CBS.
The Jaguars will enter this game as one of the hottest teams in the NFL. This includes winning their last eight games, along with having one of the highest-scoring offenses during the second half of the season, and one of the stingiest defenses as well.

Buffalo finished the regular season 12-5. Led by Josh Allen, the Bills' offense ranks sixth in points per game this season, while the defense ranks 13th in scoring.
Although we are still nearly a full week out from this game taking place, let's take a look at some early predictions.
Jaguars vs. Bills early playoff predictions
Bleacher Report: Moe Moton is picking the Bills to win 34-31 over Jacksonville.
"Allen's ability to put on a cape under center and move the ball with his arm and legs tips the scales in Buffalo's favor," Moton wrote.
FOX Sports: Henry McKenna is also picking the Bills in a close, high-scoring game. Buffalo 31, Jaguars 28.

"This postseason, I’m trusting in Josh Allen," McKenna wrote. "There might not be a hotter team in the NFL than the Jaguars, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence reaching heights that seemingly only head coach Liam Coen (and Jakobi Meyers?!) could’ve helped the QB reach."
Jaguars Wire: I get it -- the Bills have playoff experience, and the Jaguars mostly don't. However, this Jacksonville team is playing really high-level football on both offense and defense. I'll take the Jaguars to win 30-27.
