Week 17 NFL Spread: Patriots vs. Bills

Point spread and prediction for the week 17 NFL clash between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills plus the betting spreads, and betting trends for nfl football gambling…

NFL Expert Pick Patriots @ Bills

The New England Patriots travel to Buffalo to take on their AFC East rivals, the Bills, in a must win situation. The Patriots could conceivably not make it into the AFC Playoffs with a record of 11 and 5. Not only do the Pats have to beat the Bills but they have to hope that the Jets beat the Dolphins or that the Baltimore Ravens lose. The Patriots have really turned it on for sports betting fans lately covering online betting spreads with ease. Their NFL betting record against the spread is now 10 and 5 on the season. That’s a very good mark for a team playing without their starting quarterback.  

The Buffalo Bills have had an awful season. After starting out 4 and 0 straight-up and 4 and 0 against the BetUS online wagering spread, the Bills have dropped 8 out of their last 11 games straight-up. Their record against the BetUS online betting spread is a woeful 7 and 8 on the season. They are even worse at home going 2 and 5 against the football betting spread.

Game-day: 12/28/2008
Kick-off: 1:00 pm est.

Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game:

New England Patriots – 6 ½ – 110 O 42 ½ – 110
Buffalo Bills + 6 ½ – 110 U 42 ½ – 110

Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game:

The New England Patriots are 4 and 0 against the spread the last four times that these two teams have met.
The Over is 6 and 0 in the New England Patriots last 6 games overall.
The Buffalo Bills are 0 and 4 against the spread in their last 4 games at home.
The Over is 4 and 1 in the Buffalo Bills last 5 games at home.

The New England Patriots are going to try to score as much as they can in this game. One of the problems will be the weather, but that didn’t hurt the Pats this past Sunday!

Of course, that game was against a warm weather team in Arizona. The Bills are used to the cold. What will happen this Sunday?

I’m not sure if the BetUS online sportsbook total of 42 ½ is a bet worth contemplating in this. Neither the over nor the under looks appealing to me.

What does is the fact that the New England Patriots are hell bent on making sure that they don’t blow their playoff chances. This team is peaking at the right time. They’ve been very, very good lately.

Patriots vs. Bills Prediction:

I see New England easily covering the BetUS online betting spread by beating the Buffalo Bills by more than 7 points on Sunday.
