Follow all of our NFL analysis and betting advice for the 2026 NFL playoffs.

"But this might be the only time Josh Allen has a run in him with Patrick Mahomes out of the playoffs!" Yea, football doesn't care. The Jaguars are one of the most complete teams in the league, boasting a top-10 pass defense alongside the league's best run-stopping unit. Trevor Lawrence surged up the NFL MVP odds board down the stretch and is playing the best football of his career. It's a different feeling in Jacksonville this year, leading me to believe they might make a deep run.

Score prediction: Jaguars 24, Bills 21


πŸ™Œ Best Bills vs. Jaguars touchdown scorer prediction: Trevor Lawrence (+170) ⭐⭐⭐

See all of our NFL touchdown props for the 2026 NFL playoffs.

Lawrence was a straight-up force down the stretch, punching in four rushing touchdowns over the final four games of the season. He averaged north of five carries per game during that span, and against a Bills defense that allows opponents to score on nearly 60% of red-zone trips - bottom 10 in the league - the setup is there for Lawrence to find the end zone again.
