Home field advantage has its advantages on the field and in sportsbooks for the Buffalo Bills.
Set to face the Baltimore Ravens (11-5) in the AFC Divisional round, the Bills (13-3) see that. Not only will fans being allowed in Bills Stadium on Saturday make a difference, that slight edge given to home teams via bettors is shown here.
According to BetMGM, the Bills open as 2.5-point favorites over the Ravens. Typically a home team will see a one or two advantage in games.
Considering that’s the case, really it means if this was a neutral site game, it’d be a toss up.
Last weekend in their 27-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts (11-5), Buffalo was a 6.5 favorite and did not cover. Doing so will come much easier this week pending a win.
Along with the spread, the over/ under sits at 49.5. By comparison to the other four postseason games, it’s the second-lowest in the NFL.
The moneyline sits at Bills (-135) and Ravens (+115).
