Oddsmakers: Bills open as slight underdog vs. Texans

Buffalo Bills are slight underdogs vs. the Houston Texans on Wild Card weekend.

The Bills are onto the playoffs and can keep their 2019 season mantra going into it.

On Saturday at 4:35 p.m. the Bills will visit the Houston Texans, the AFC South champions, for their Wild Card weekend outing. They’ll do so as underdogs.

According to BetMGM, the Texans open at three-point favorites over the Bills.

The spread isn’t exactly the most disrespectful one, though. Oddsmakers typically give the home team a three-point edge in games. So had the game been at New Era Field, the game could be considered a toss-up. Both teams enter the game with a 10-6 overall record.

But the road could be a comfortable spot for the Bills, who had a 6-2 record during their games away from Orchard Park this season.

The moneyline sits at Bills (+145) and Texans (-165). The over/ under is 41, the lowest of any game on Wild Card weekend.
