Bills Favored Over Raiders, but Defensive Concerns Point to the Over

The Buffalo Bills earned an impressive road win over the Los Angeles Rams despite facing plenty of adversity. The Raiders, meanwhile, struggled badly this past week, prompting oddsmakers to make Buffalo a sizable favorite in Las Vegas.

The Raiders have generally played well, covered spreads, and won games. While taking them as a home underdog is tempting, their defense has become a concern over the past couple of weeks. Their offense should still be able to score against Buffalo, but the defensive questions make this a game to watch rather than back either team against the spread.

The preferred play is the over. Buffalo has allowed plenty of points, and stopping opponents has been a recurring problem. The Bills should win, although how they do it remains uncertain, especially with DJ Moore’s health in question and a bye approaching. The Raiders should contribute enough offensively to help push the game over the total.
