Jaguars vs Bills Public Betting Splits
| Team | Spread | ATS Handle% | ATS Bet% | Moneyline | ML Handle% | ML Bet% | Total Points | O/U Handle% | O/U Bet% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jacksonville Jaguars | +5.5 | 36% | 45% | +205 | 8% | 5% | O 46.0 | 55% | 68% |
| Buffalo Bills | -5.5 | 64% | 55% | -275 | 92% | 95% | U 46.0 | 45% | 32% |
The Jaguars vs Bills betting splits as of 4:45 pm ET show that 92% of moneyline handle is on Buffalo as a -275 home favorite, leaving just 8% of handle on the winless Jaguars, who are just 1-7 straight-up in their last eight games dating back to last season.
Trevor Lawrence and company started the 2023 campaign 8-3, but ultimately missed out on the playoffs at 9-8. The early returns on 2024 have been equally disappointing. The Jags blew a 17-7 halftime lead in a Week 1 loss to Miami (20-17) and were outlasted by Cleveland in an 18-13 Week 2 setback.
Buffalo, meanwhile, overcame a sluggish start during a 34-28 Week 1 win over Arizona (coming back from 17-3 down) before crushing Miami yet again 31-10 in Week 2.

Commanders vs Bengals Public Betting Splits
| Team | Spread | ATS Handle% | ATS Bet% | Moneyline | ML Handle% | ML Bet% | Total Points | O/U Handle% | O/U Bet% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Washington Commanders | +7.5 | 29% | 36% | +275 | 8% | 7% | O 47.0 | 45% | 35% |
| Cincinnati Bengals | -7.5 | 71% | 64% | -375 | 92% | 93% | U 47.0 | 55% | 65% |
The Commanders vs Bengals betting splits show an eerily similar dynamic to Jags/Bills. The public is absolutely smashing the Bengals moneyline with 92% of handle (and 93% of wagers) on Cincinnati to win straight-up.
Cincinnati is already in a de facto must-win situation at 0-2. Another loss would leave them last in the AFC North, three full games behind the still-perfect Pittsburgh Steelers. It would also drop them to 0-2 at home – in arguably their two easiest home games – in a season when they play nine games on the road.
The Jayden Daniels era in Washington has been up-and-down through two weeks. The fleet-footed QB has completed 75% of his passes (40/53) and has yet to throw an interception while racking up 134 yards on the ground during the Commanders’ 1-1 start. But Daniels is still searching for his first touchdown pass and has taken seven sacks through two games.
The public also likes the Bengals to cover as 7.5-point chalk, putting 71% of ATS handle and 64% of ATS tickets on Cincinnati. They are more divided on the total with 55% of handle on the under roughly three hours before kickoff and 45% on the over (47.0).

Monday Night Football is always a highly anticipated event for football fans, and this week’s matchups are no exception. The Jacksonville Jaguars will be facing off against the Buffalo Bills, while the Washington Commanders will take on the Cincinnati Bengals. As kickoff approaches, many bettors are keeping a close eye on the public betting splits to help inform their wagers.
In the Jaguars vs Bills game, the public betting splits currently show that the majority of bettors are siding with the Bills. This is not surprising, as the Bills are coming off a strong performance in their last game and are considered one of the top teams in the league. However, the Jaguars have shown flashes of potential this season and could potentially pull off an upset if they play to their full potential.
On the other hand, in the Commanders vs Bengals matchup, the public betting splits are much closer. Both teams have had their ups and downs this season, making it a difficult game to predict. The Bengals have a potent offense led by quarterback Joe Burrow, while the Commanders have a solid defense that could give them an edge in this game.
When looking at public betting splits, it’s important to remember that they are just one factor to consider when making a wager. Other factors such as injuries, weather conditions, and recent performance should also be taken into account. Ultimately, it’s up to each individual bettor to do their own research and make an informed decision on where to place their bets.
As Monday Night Football approaches, it will be interesting to see how these matchups play out and whether the public betting splits accurately predict the outcomes of the games. Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or just looking to add some excitement to your Monday night, these games are sure to provide plenty of entertainment for football fans everywhere.
