Jacksonville Jaguars (-3) at Buffalo Bills
Total: 37
PickCenter public consensus pick: 66 percent picked Jacksonville
Johnson: The Jaguars opened as 4-point favorites in Buffalo, and the line has since been bet down to -3. My number lined up with the opener at -4.2. The Jaguars have been in a steady decline and lost six games in a row, but it felt like the Steelers game at home this past Sunday was their last hurrah -- an opportunity to make something of the otherwise disappointing season. For 56 minutes, it looked like exactly that. They led Pittsburgh 16-6 before finding a way to give up two touchdowns in the final minutes to lose the game. It's going to be awfully tough to bounce back mentally from a loss like that, no matter the team. Jacksonville hasn't given us any reason to think it will.
