The Buffalo Bills' 2025 season is officially over after a 35-8 win over the New York Jets.

Sean McDermott's team finished with a 12-5 record and the No. 6 seed in the AFC.

And with Week 18 mostly completed, with just the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers left, the Bills know who their opponent in the wild-card round will be.

The 13-4 Jacksonville Jaguars, on the road at EverBank Stadium.

That is quite the matchup for Josh Allen and Co.

With the Bills coming into the playoffs winning five of their last six games, they will be in form, and the Jags will need to play their best football to halt Buffalo.

The time is now for Buffalo

You could make the case that it is now or never for Allen and the Bills.

Their kryptonite is Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, who aren't in the playoffs; neither are Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, and maybe not even Lamar Jackson either.

So, there is a chance for Allen to finally claim that elusive Super Bowl.

With the thought being that this is now or never for the Bills, given how the AFC has played out in 2025, if the Bills fall short, we might wonder when the franchise will ever win that first Super Bowl trophy.

Buffalo has bought its playoff ticket. 

Now it's time to make the most of it -- starting in Jacksonville.
