NFL Free Pick: Take Buffalo. According to latest NFL trends, the Bills are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven games following a straight up loss and 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games in Week 2. The Panthers, meanwhile, are 4-10 against the spread in their last 14 games in September and 2-6 ATS in their last eight games allowing more than 250 yards passing in their previous game.
The Bills fought tooth and nail last week and nearly pulled off a huge upset at home against the Patriots as a 10-point underdog. The Panthers, meanwhile, continue to look horrendous on offense under new OC Mike Shula. Cam Newton and Co. didn’t look smooth running Shula’s offense in preseason and that transferred over into Week 1 against Seattle. While Buffalo is devoid of talent, look for the Bills to pick up a home win today against a very average Carolina squad.
