Bills vs. 49ers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Bills 27, 49ers 23
Money line (?)
This is a true tossup with the line, so there is value on both sides. The 49ers are coming off a big win last week over the Los Angeles Rams and are threatening to get back into the playoff race; however, the Bills have been on a roll, losing only once in their last five games.
The Niners have had to move all their operations to Arizona so they are not completely settled in. That will show in the game. Take the BILLS (-105).
Against the spread (?)
With a one-point spread, the only way to go is with the winner you take on the money line. Otherwise, you’re predicting a tie (virtually impossible) or negating the money line bet.
The San Francisco defense is solid, allowing only 315.2 yards per game and 23.1 points per game, but Buffalo’s offense is explosive. The Bills have five games of scoring at least 30 points and seven of at least 27. In Mullens’ five starts for the Niners, they have scored 20 points only twice. Take the BILLS +1 (-115).
Over/Under (?)
The Bills are 7-3-1 O/U, while the Niners are 5-6 O/U. Three of the Bills’ last four games hit the Over. Both teams should score roughly their season average (27.2 for the Bills, 23.7 for the 49ers) and should go Over the projected total. Take OVER 47.5 (-105).
