Despite a disappointing loss against the Cincinnati Bengals where the Buffalo Bills entered a contest for the first time as an underdog last week and lost… it’s right back to being the favorite.
According to sportsbooks including BetMGM, the Bills have opened as more than a touchdown favorite over the Denver Broncos ahead of their Monday Night Football matchup.
While Buffalo will be disappointed in their 5-4 record halfway through the 2023 season, bettors will be even more upset at them. Against the spread, the Bills are only 3-6.
Last week, Buffalo was a slight 1.5-point underdog and did not cover in Cincinnati.
The same can be said about Buffalo’s point totals, too. The under (51) hit against the Bengals in a 24-18 loss and the Bills are 3-6 against their totals this season.
Meanwhile, Denver did not cover last week either because they did not play. Fresh off their bye, the Broncos did do exactly that in their last outing, a win over the Kansas City Chiefs at home.
Like Buffalo, the Broncos are doing even worse than their overall record against the spread this season. Denver is 2-5-1 ATS but the Broncos have fared better against the points, an even .500 at 4-4.
The over/under for Monday’s matchup sits at 47. The moneyline reads at Bills (-375) and Broncos (+290).
