Jacksonville @ Buffalo preview

Last Meeting ( Jan 7, 2018 ) Buffalo 3, Jacksonville 10

The Buffalo Bills will have their rookie quarterback on the field as they seek their second straight victory when they host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Josh Allen is expected to be back under center after missing Buffalo's last four games with a right elbow injury.

The Bills, who enjoyed a bye last week, hope to post back-to-back wins for the first time this season after rolling to a 41-10 road triumph over the New York Jets on Nov. 11 with Matt Barkley at quarterback. Jacksonville is aiming for its first win since Week 4 as it has lost six consecutive games following a 3-1 start to the year. The Jaguars hope to erase last week's home loss to Pittsburgh from memory as they owned a 16-point lead late in the third quarter but squandered it and dropped a 20-16 decision. Buffalo has won three of the last four meetings between the teams, including the most recent matchup on Nov. 27, 2016 in which it registered a 28-21 home victory.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Jaguars -3. O/U: 37

ABOUT THE JAGUARS (3-7): Jacksonville is hoping Jalen Ramsey is ready for Sunday's contest as the 24-year-old cornerback was limited in Wednesday's practice with a groin ailment. Ramsey, who made a pair of interceptions against the Steelers to raise his season total to a team-leading three, could be targeted by Allen on Sunday after calling the quarterback "trash" during an interview with GQ magazine over the summer. Defensive end Calais Campbell is one of two AFC players (Denver's Von Miller) with at least 20 sacks (20.5) and 25 tackles for loss (26) since the start of the 2017 season.

ABOUT THE BILLS (3-7): Trent Murphy expects to see action Sunday after missing three games with a knee injury. His return could not come at a better time as fellow defensive end Shaq Lawson suffered an elbow injury during Tuesday's practice and was inactive the following day. Linebacker Matt Milano also should be in the lineup against Jacksonville after clearing the concussion protocol on Wednesday.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Jaguars RB Carlos Hyde has rushed for five touchdowns in his last five road games.

2. Buffalo added LB Corey Thompson from the practice squad on Monday.

3. Jacksonville signed OL Corey Robinson on Monday and released QB Landry Jones, who did not see any action after being signed on Oct. 31.

PREDICTION: Jaguars 27, Bills 13
