To no one's surprise, the Buffalo Bills (5-1) are heavy favorites to beat the struggling Green Bay Packers (3-4). And why not?
The Bills possess the odds favorite to win MVP in QB Josh Allen, one of the favorites for Defensive Player of the Year in Von Miller, while fielding both the top ranked offense and defense.
Meanwhile, the Packers are in the middle of a three-game losing streak where even QB Aaron Rodgers is struggling. The offensive line can't stay healthy or play to parr, they abandon the running game way too early, despite being effective and their receiving core is playing at an underwhelming rate.
Of course Buffalo is expected to win. Not only are the Bills heavy favorites, the point spread for the game is where Rodgers has never seen as the starter.
Expanded, the line on the game is even more one-sided, according to Tipico Sportsbook.
The Moneyline is Packers +410, Bills -600. Against the spread, Packers are +10.5 (-112), while the Bills -10.5 (-108). The Over/Under (O/U) is 47.5. Essentially meaning any bet on the Bills would lose the better money.
Usually in double-digit spreads in the NFL, it's usually a bait. People want you to bet on the underdog, as it's the only way to win profit. As well as lure what looks like a sure thing loss from the bookies perspective.
The Buffalo Bills are and should be heavy favorites, especially playing at home. Green Bay is 1-3 away from Lambeau. As far as bets go, it is venturing into a territory never seen in the Aaron Rodgers era.
Not only is he the underdog but he and the Packers are expected to lose. Big.
