Raiders vs. Bills Free Pick
(The Spread) – Two teams that surprised in Week 1 will clash in Buffalo on Sunday when the Bills host the Raiders.
Odds: In what had to be the surprise of the opening Sunday, the Bills embarrassed the Chiefs 41-7 in Kansas City. Now oddsmakers favor Buffalo –3 against the Raiders in Week 2, despite Oakland’s road victory in Denver on Monday night. The over/under total for this game is currently sitting at 42 points.
Line Movement: The Bills opened as a 2.5-point favorite but given how successful they were in Week 1, the line climbed to 3 before falling back down to 2.5. The spread has danced between those two numbers all week but it has settled in at 3 heading into the weekend. The over/under total is currently 42 points at the Las Vegas Hilton after opening at 41.
Public Bettors: Of the 1,000-plus wagers on today’s game, 55% of NFL public bettors currently favor the Bills –3. This information is subject to change, however, so make sure you click on the link provided for the most up-to-date public betting information.
NFL Free Pick: Take Oakland. Seeing as how the Raiders are coming off a short week and are taking on a Bills team that looked so good in their opener, it’s no wonder why the majority of bettors favor Buffalo in this game. But things shouldn’t click as easy for Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Bills’ offense this week, as they take on an underrated Oakland defense. According to latest NFL trends, the Raiders are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games against the Bills, while the road team is also 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings between these two teams. Buffalo is just 4-9 ATS in its last 13 games following a straight up win and 8-22-2 ATS in its last 32 home games versus a team with a winning record.
