JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jaguars season is back and our News4JAX sports staff is back with its predictions as well. Each week, we’ll unveil our predictions for the week’s game. Jacksonville travels to Buffalo in Week 3 for Monday Night Football.
Kyle Ashley
Season record: 0-2.
Well, I really don’t want to do it, but I must. The Jaguars have done me dirty in back-to-back games to start off the season and I have vowed to pick against them until they prove me wrong. This team should not be 0-2 but they are and there is no going backwards. A Monday night game on the road against a good team is a daunting task but it could be exactly what this team needs to get back on track. I don’t think Jacksonville wins this game, but I do think they come out with a little more juice and play better than people expect. I think the Bills, unlike the Jaguars, find a way to finish in close game and come out on top in a close game in prime time. — Bills 27, Jaguars 20.
Justin Barney
Season record: 0-2.
The Jaguars always seem to lose games that they should win and win games that they should lose. This qualifies as a game they should lose. On that token, I should lean to picking Jacksonville to win this one. But the offense has been so disjointed to start that I just can’t bring myself to do that. I like the defense to keep this one close, but I have no faith in the offense to deliver until they can prove otherwise. — Bills 27, Jaguars 21.
Alessandra Pontbriand
Season record: 1-1.
I have faith! I’ve gone back and forth with this one, but I feel like the Jaguars are pissed off enough to use the bright lights of “Monday Night Football” to their advantage and make a statement to the league that they can be a good team. It will be close, but Cam Little is going to win it with a second half field goal. It won’t be easy. Bills fans are proud and faithful and will make it really difficult, but there’s too much for the Jaguars to lose starting the season 0-3. — Jaguars 24, Bills 21.
Jamal St. Cyr
Season record: 1-1.
I’m rolling with the Jags in this one. I think they are on a thin line of letting the season get out of control. I believe in the Jacksonville defense. I do have questions about the offense. Overall, I think there is enough talent to get this thing on the right track. Through two weeks, the explosive plays have been there, they just need to be more consistent on offense. That is easier said than done, but sign me up for a Week 3 win. That would get them to 1-2, the same spot they were in after three weeks last season. — Jaguars 34, Bills 28.

Devon Achane: over 25.5 yards receiving.
