Packers at Bills odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Bills 24, Packers 13
Money line
The Bills (-370) will cost you nearly four times your potential return, and that’s not a good bet in the preseason, or otherwise.
AVOID and play the spread instead.
Against the spread
The BILLS -8.5 (-108) are likely to use QB Josh Allen very little, but backup QB Mitchell Trubisky shows how much depth Buffalo has at the position. Allen didn’t even play in the team’s 41-15 blowout win last weekend. Whether or not Allen plays, take the Bills.
QB Aaron Rodgers isn’t likely to play for the Packers, and if he does, it will be a cameo. QB Jordan Love (shoulder) is out with a shoulder, so the Pack doesn’t have a ton of depth at the position at the moment.
Over/Under
OVER 34.5 (-112) is worth a look, as the Bills offense has been on point with or without Allen. The Packers have struggled to put up points, as Rodgers has sat and Love has been injured, but the reserves could strike late to push this one over the top.
