Buffalo Bills at New York Giants |
Buffalo is a surprising 4-1 on the season and is coming off a 31-24 win over the Philadelphia Eagles as three-point home underdogs, a common opponent between these two combatants on Sunday.
The Bills rank No. 1 in the NFL in red-zone offense, which is a surprising statistic considering that they’ve never been below 15th in that category since the 1993 campaign.
Fred Jackson has been a key to the team’s success offensively, leading the NFL in total yards from scrimmage with 712, while quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is 17-of-27 for 110 yards and nine touchdowns in the red zone without throwing an interception.
NFL Bettors will find that the Bills betting are 3-0 ATS as underdogs this year and all three of those games have gone above the total.
New York comes in with a 3-2 record and all three victories have come against teams with a combined record of 2-12. The Giants are coming off a 36-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks as 10-point home favorites.
The team will need to sure up its rush defense to pull off a win this week, giving up 159.3 rushing yards per game over the past three weeks. That’s a bad number when going against an attack that is led by Jackson’s 96-yard average this season.
Eli Manning has enjoyed a solid 2011 campaign thus far, but it may have take a turn downwards with last week’s performance, throwing three interceptions. He still ranks fourth in the league with a 102.3 passer rating.
Don’t make your NFL betting picks until you realize that the Giants are 0-2 ATS as a home favorite of three points or less the last two-plus campaigns.
