Buffalo Bills - NFL Betting Analysis
Last week, Buffalo played in a non-conference game vs the Chicago Bears, winning by a score of 35-13. Buffalo entered the game as a -8.5 point favorite and went on to cover the spread. The teams combined for a total of 48 points, which surpassed the over-under betting line of 40. On their way to picking up a 22-point win, Buffalo held a 11-point lead heading into the 4th quarter at 21-10. Through 15 games, the Bills have an ATS record of 6-8-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 5-10. This week's betting total of 49.5 is right in line with their previous games.
As the Bills prepare to take on Cincinnati, they have played well on offense, ranking 4th in points per game at 28.0. Even though they have a tough matchup against the league's 9th-ranked defense, look for Buffalo to continue their strong offensive play. This season, Buffalo has been one of the better passing teams in the league, averaging 259.5 yards per game through the air. Although the Bengals' defense has been able to limit opposing teams in the passing game, Buffalo should still be able to continue to generate big plays through the pass. A key matchup to watch through the game is if Buffalo will be able to run the ball with their usual effectiveness. Even though they are averaging 142.8 yards per game on the ground, look for them to struggle against a defense that can be tough to run against.
Cincinnati Bengals - NFL Betting Analysis

Besides winning straight up, the Bengals also came home with an ATS win as the -3.0 point favorites. The team's combined scoring of 40 points fell below the posted betting line of 41.

So far, they have an over-under record of 5-9-1. This week's betting total of 49.5 is slightly higher than the line in their previous games.
Coming into the game, the Bengals are the 6th-ranked scoring offense at 26.1 points per game. Despite a matchup against the league's 2nd ranked defense, look for Cincinnati to continue their strong offensive play. This season, Cincinnati has been one of the better passing teams in the league, averaging 269.2 yards per game through the air. On the ground, Cincinnati is ranked just 26th in rush yards per game and are facing a stingy rush defense.
