"According to pregame.com, the Bills have opened up as a 7.5-point underdog against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Bills have been playing that role all season long, so this shouldn't be a problem for them. But as rookie cornerback Tre' Davious White said after the game, there aren't any underdogs in the playoffs."

"Jacksonville is favored to win the contest, but as we saw Saturday, playing at home doesn't guarantee a victory."
In conclusion: Compared to the (9-7) Bills, Jaguars (10-6) have the better record. & even though they lost against the 49ers recently, I'm still picking Jacksonville.
Panthers vs Saints' predictions in the press:

"The Saints (11-5) already beat the Panthers (11-5) twice to edge them for the NFC South title. But that will mean little unless New Orleans can defeat Carolina for a third time Sunday in the wild-card playoffs."
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/31/sports/nfl-playoff-predictions.html
"The Saints regained control of the N.F.C. South by finding some balance in their offensive approach. Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara might have been the best combination of running backs in the N.F.L., and Drew Brees looked just as potent as ever in his 17th season."
Panthers & Saints have the same record (11-5). However, during this season, the Saints have beaten the Panthers twice before, so there's no reason (except it's the playoffs!) why they can't do it again. Still, if Cam Newton plays well, Panthers will be unstoppable. Nevertheless, I'm still picking New Orleans.
