The Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars will face off in London for the league's second game of the year on foreign soil. This will be the Jags' third-ever game at Wembley Stadium, though they have yet to come away victorious. The Bills, on the other hand, are playing for the first time in the UK.
Bills vs. Jaguars 2015 picks and predictions: Buffalo is the near-unanimous pick to win in London
Most experts don’t think the Jags will be able to pick up their first win at Wembley.
Quarterback Tyrod Taylor will miss his second straight game with a knee injury, leaving backup EJ Manuel under center. The Bills have been hit hard by injuries this season, but lead back LeSean McCoy will be ready for a follow-up performance from his Week 6 return. After missing two games with a hamstring injury, McCoy came back last week and rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Despite boasting one of the NFL’s most formidable pass-rushing units, the Bills’ defense has been inconsistent this season. At times it has looked great and at times, like against Cincinnati, it couldn’t make a stop. Defensive linemen Mario Williams and Marcell Dareus have both voiced their displeasure with Ryan’s schemes and how often they have to drop back in coverage.
Jacksonville's offense hasn't exactly been electrifying so far this year, but it could still cause some issues for Buffalo. Wideouts Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson are closing in on 500 receiving yards this season apiece, and have been big assets to the Jags' offense with nine combined touchdowns. With quarterback Blake Bortles under center, the passing game has surpassed the rush, resulting in a season void of rushing touchdowns.
The Jags' defense was embarrassed by the Texans in Week 6 and is making changes ahead of the Bills matchup in hopes of bringing more pressure up front. This shift could be a challenge for the Bills' offensive line.
The majority of experts at CBS Sports are picking Buffalo in Week 7, with only one of the eight panelists choosing Jacksonville. Here at SB Nation, only OddsShark favored the Jags while PFT Commenter thinks they'll tie -- because, yes Donovan McNabb, NFL games can end in a tie.
