The NFL returns to jolly old England for the second time this season for an early Sunday game between the Bills and Jaguars at Wembley Stadium. Those looking to gain an edge based on the fact that the game is being played in London might have a slight one, as the designated home team, the Jags in this case, is 0-4 SU in the last four London games. Since the London games began in 2007, the designated home team is 3-8 SU and 5-6 ATS.
- The Jaguars are 1-14 SU in their last 15 games in October.
- The Bills are 2-13 SU in their last 15 games before the bye.
- After last week’s loss to the Texans, the Jags fell to 8-30 under head coach Gus Bradley.
Perhaps it was a case of smoke and mirrors in the first few weeks of the NFL campaign, but the Buffalo Bills have failed to parlay a strong start into momentum and find themselves once again in the middle of the pack in the AFC East – a position they’ve become quite accustomed to in recent years.
Next on the docket for Rex Ryan and company (3-3 SU, ATS) is a matchup with the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars (1-5 SU, 2-4 ATS). Jacksonville, a team many NFL pundits expected to make a leap this season, have left plenty to be desired on the field so far despite having the foundation of a young, promising squad.
The Bills have responded well after a loss, going 5-0 SU and ATS in their last five games after a loss.
