The spread always involves a few moving factors.
All things considered, it’s good to see the Buffalo Bills still have some faith instilled in them ahead of their meeting vs. the New Orleans Saints.
But it’s shrinking.
Heading into their Week 12 meeting with the Saints on Thanksgiving Day, the Bills (6-4) open as four-point favorites. That line comes to us via Tipico Sportsbook (access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list).
Last week, Buffalo was named a 7.5-point favorite before hosting the Indianapolis Colts.
The Bills were then blown out by the Colts. That’s likely keeping the spread pretty low in the Bills’ favor on Thursday, even more so than the game being a home one for New Orleans.
Additionally, even though Buffalo is the favorite, the Saints could be down a few starting players later this week, including running back Alvin Kamara. Because of that, one could have predicted a higher spread.
Time will tell how much the line does move this week. Injuries on both sides could make a difference. Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds might return for the Bills as well.
In addition to the spread, the over/under for the contest in New Orleans is 46.5.
The moneyline sits at Bills (-210) and Saints (+176).
