Buffalo Bills - NFL Betting Analysis
The Bills head into week 12, looking for another win, as they picked up 8 point victory over the Cleveland Browns (31-23). When looking at the betting outcome, Buffalo entered the matchup as the -8.0 point favorite but ended with a push. Going into the game, the over-under total was set at 50 points, which the teams surpassed. In their win over Cleveland, the Bills held a 12-point lead heading into the 4th quarter at 22-10. However, their 8 point win was not enough to cover the point spread at -8.0, resulting in an ATS push. Through 10 games, the Bills have an ATS record of 4-5-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 3-7. This week's betting total of 54.5 is higher than the line in their previous games.
As the Bills prepare to take on Detroit, they have played well on offense, ranking 2nd in points per game at 28.1. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Lions defense ranked 31st in points per game. Throughout the game, Buffalo should be able to move the ball through the air, as they are the 3rd ranked team in terms of passing yards. In addition, they are facing off against a defense that has been vulnerable in the secondary. On the ground, the Bills should be in line for a good performance, as they are one of the better rushing teams in the league and are facing a defense that has its problem stopping the run.
Detroit Lions - NFL Betting Analysis
Last week, the Lions picked up a conference win after taking down the New York Giants by a score of 31-18. In terms of betting, Detroit picked up an ATS win, as they were the 3.0-point underdogs. With their combined 44 points, the two teams exceeded the betting over-under number of 44. Despite being the 3.0-point underdogs heading into the game, the Lions held a 18-point lead heading into the 4th quarter. Through 10 games, the Lions have an ATS record of 6-4. So far, they have an over-under record of 7-3. This week's betting total of 54.5 is higher than the line in their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Lions' offense is averaging 25.0 points per game, placing them 8th in the NFL. Even though they have a tough matchup against the league's 5th-ranked defense, look for Detroit to try to move the ball through the air, as they are one of the better passing teams in the league, averaging 233.8 yards per game through the air. A key matchup to watch through the game is if Detroit will be able to run the ball with their usual effectiveness. Even though they are averaging 132.8 yards per game on the ground, look for them to struggle against a defense that can be tough to run against.
