How to bet on the Buffalo Bills
The main pregame betting odds for NFL games consist of three wagers: moneyline, spread and over/under. Here’s how they work:
Moneyline
The moneyline bet is straightforward: just pick which side you think will win the game. On a main game listing, there will be odds listed for both choices.
- Bills +105
- Rams -115
The direction of the odds gives you a quick understanding of the expectations for the game: negative numbers for favorites and positive for underdogs. The game is expected to be close when the moneyline odds are in a tight range.
For larger spans, the contest projects to be a mismatch, while plenty of other games will fall between the two extremes. At odds of -115, you’d have to bet $115 for a chance to win $100. If you bet $100 at odds of +105, the profit potential is $105.
Spread
Sportsbooks install a point spread for each NFL game. It’s meant to level the playing field between the two sides and can be thought of as an estimated margin of victory. Bettors can choose the favorite minus the points or the underdog plus the number.
- Bills +1 (-110)
- Rams -1 (-110)
For spread bets, there are two numbers to account for: the number set by oddsmakers and the actual odds on the bet. In the above example, the Rams are a 1-point favorite over the Bills, while the odds are set at -110 on both sides.
The odds for NFL point spreads tend to stay in a tight range around that number, which is part of the appeal for bettors. At odds of -110, a winning $100 bet will bring back $90.91, while you’d have to risk $110 for the chance to win $100.
Point total (over/under)
The point total lets you focus on how much scoring there will be in the game. Which side wins or loses is irrelevant. Your sole goal for this bet is to choose over or under on the total number of points listed by the sportsbook.
- Over 52 (-110)
- Under 52 (-110)
In this example, the bar is set at 52 points. If you bet on the over, you expect 53 or more points to be scored. Bettors on the opposite side anticipate that there will be 51 or less points scored. The bet pushes if the exact points scored match the total.
Like spreads, over/under bets tend to be set at -110 and remain in that range. However, you will find some variances while line shopping, such as one side dropping to -105 while the other increases to -115.

Buffalo Bills news and notes
After a 13-3 regular season, an AFC East crown and a win over the Miami Dolphins in the wild card round, Buffalo was the favorite at home against the Bengals in the divisional round. The Super Bowl dream came to a close with a thud, however, as Cincinnati dominated the action and exited with a 17-point victory. Buffalo has now made it to the postseason for the last four years in a row, but it has only advanced to the AFC title game once over that span. In late February, the team announced that defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier was stepping away to take a year off from coaching. During free agency, Buffalo reached an extension with S Jordan Poyer and signed OG Connor McGovern.
