Sunday's game seems like another great opportunity for Charles Clay and Tyrod Taylor to reconnect http://buffalonews.com/2016/11/25/jaguars-game-seems-like-another-great-chance-charles-clay-tyrod-taylor-reconnect/

Week 12 predictions (ESPN Insider)

Bills favored heavily over Jags

Both our Jaguars and Bills reporters expect Buffalo to win by at least two scores at New Era Field. ESPN's FPI agrees, giving the Bills the weekend's second-highest chance of winning.

 

JAGUARS AT BILLS

 

Jacksonville Jaguars

It's hard to pick the Jaguars to win a game because even when they do good things, they still don't win. They held Detroit to 14 rushing yards, forced two turnovers, and took a lead into the fourth quarter, but they also gave up a punt return for a touchdown and had an interception return for a TD. They held Kansas City to 231 total yards and ran for 205 yards but turned the ball over four times. They held Houston to 92 yards passing but turned the ball over twice, including a pick-six. Expect the same this week. Bills 27, Jaguars 14. -- Michael DiRocco

 

Buffalo Bills

Coach Rex Ryan said the Jaguars are the best two-win team that he's ever seen, but Ryan might be full of Thanksgiving stuffing on that one. The Jaguars have an NFL-worst minus-15 turnover ratio and will be playing on the road against a team with the league's fourth-best turnover margin. The Bills are 10-2 under Ryan when they have a positive turnover ratio, so expect this one to fall in Buffalo's favor. Bills 24, Jaguars 10. -- Mike Rodak

#Jaguars owner Shad Khan has built value over five years with a focus on fans http://fw.to/eFBWcU

“His 153-percent increase in franchise value is incredible,” Sweeney said of Khan.

 

This story forgot to mention the biggest reason for that jump in value is Terry Pegula paying a record price for the Bills.

What they're saying: Bills-Jaguars game predictions

National media predict if the Bills can win their second consecutive game and extend Jacksonville's losing streak to six games.

Week 12 picks: Will the AFC West remain tightly bunched? http://on.si.com/2fm3nSB

Black Friday is upon us, the annual unofficial kickoff to the holiday season and celebration of consumerism, when people are willing to do just about anything to save a few bucks.

 

NFL teams won’t do their shopping for a few months—free agency arrives on March 9, 2017. They are always on the hunt for values, though. With that in mind—in honor of the Black Friday insanity—let’s take a gander at five of the best bargains on NFL rosters this season. (Couple notes before we begin: any players on rookie contracts were eliminated from consideration since the $$ there is limited, and all salary figures are courtesy of OvertheCap.com.)

 

1. Tyrod Taylor, QB, Bills ($6.9 million cap hit in 2016): Like one of those cable bundles where the price skyrockets after a year, Taylor won’t be quite as much of a value if the Bills hang onto him beyond 2016. That said, his cap hit of $15.9 million next season doesn’t look so bad by comparison to the rest of the QB market. And at $6.9 million this year, he’s an absolute steal given his level of play. Just above him is Ryan Fitzpatrick, at $7 million.

Bad as their record (and quarterback?) is, I can’t shake the feeling that Jacksonville pulls a stunner over the final six weeks—everyone left on its schedule is in the thick of the playoff chase. Don’t think it happens here. The Jaguars continue to play well against the pass, but LeSean McCoy and Tyrod Taylor will give them fits on the ground. Plus, Sammy Watkins’ imminent return to action means that the Bills won’t need much space to make something happen when they take to the air. Buffalo has scored at least 25 points in its four home games to date; Jacksonville is allowing 26.5 per outing. The Jaguars do have their own playmakers (that was never the problem): Chris Ivory saw 23 touches in Detroit, including six receptions for 75 yards, while Marqise Lee’s bounceback season keeps rolling along.

 

Watchability: 3. Seemingly every coach keeps warning his team that the Jaguars are better than their record. Talent-wise, that might be true, but eventually you are what you are.

The #Bills get Watkins back, but he isn't the key in this game. Five things to watch for vs. JAX + prediction: https://t.co/s00JZv75C3

Five things to watch against the Jaguars:

1) Watkins back is great, but McCoy is the key

2) A muted Sammy Watkins

3) Shaq’s chance to shine? Lorenzo Alexander, too

4) Ihedigbo/Meeks combo on the way

5) Dareus/Williams combo will make life hard on the Jags OL

[bN] Blitz: All eyes will be on Sammy Watkins as he returns to the #Bills today. Here's your guide to Week 12: https://t.co/Ln4bq7nXUv

 

@mikerodak

Migraines expected to keep Bills WR Percy Harvin out of today’s game, per @AdamSchefter: https://t.co/oDR8LPmDQK

 

@RapSheet

#Bills WR Sammy Watkins, activated off IR on Sat, will not only play but start, source said. His playtime will depend on how his foot feels.

Buffalo #Bills vs. Jacksonville #Jaguars 2016: Preview, odds, prediction for Week 12 http://trib.al/vNnGBet

 

@AdamSchefter

Despite being listed as questionable, Bills RB LeSean McCoy will play Sunday vs. Jaguars with a splint on his thumb, per source (We already knew this).

 

Jags RB TJ Yeldon, questionable with ankle injury, is unlikely to play vs Bills, though Jacksonville wants to test him pregame, per source.

This trend explains the return of Jordan Gay.

@SalSports

Last 3 weeks Bills kickoff return average allowed: 24.0 21.7 28.0 5 of previous 7 games were all 19.7 yards or less.

 

Seymour to get more work at nickel corner
Last week Kevon Seymour saw more work at nickel corner than he had previously, but it was still just 15 snaps against Cincinnati. Nickell Robey-Coleman actually got more work by game’s end with 23 snaps. Today it looks like both will see work in the slot again, and Seymour could get more of the work.

Does anyone know why he is back? I thought Carpenter has done fine with the kickoff duties.

Was posted up thread. Basically the other teams were returning the ball too much.

thanks. Seems strange to me. In my opinion you don't want touchbacks anymore.you want a high kick to the goal line, or a couple of yards in, to give team a chance to keep them inside the 25. Seems like Carp was doing that.

The way carp kicks is different than Gay. Carp has the distance but sacrifices hang time. same thing when he hangs the ball, gets it up but ends up coming down around the 20 anyways. Gay can get it to the goal line and give the coverage team the time to get down there before the ball comes down.

#Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula are awarding an honorary game ball to the family of Bob Kalsu. Next step should be to retire his No. 61.

Expect @CutonDime25 to be essentially 100%. No ball security/pass catching issues. Wrote this after initial injury. http://shar.es/18pEYR
