Green Bay Packers VS Buffalo Bills Best Bets

In what will be the 14th meeting between the Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills, we could see the Bills add onto their historic success against the Packers with what would be their ninth win all-time head-to-head.

The Bills have looked exceptional so far this season, with an explosive offence and stone wall defence, they are head and shoulders above almost every team in the NFL. Led by Pro Bowl quarterback Josh Allen, the Bills have played each week with intensity and plenty of heart as they search to claim the franchises first Super Bowl victory.

On the other sideline, a team that has spent many of the past seasons as a powerhouse in the NFL is now facing adversity. The Green Bay Packers are sitting in one of the worst possible spots they could be, a game below .500, facing arguably the best team in football, with no glimmer of hope in sight.

The Packers are going to need to see a resurgence from all members of their team if they have any hope in besting the Bills on Sunday Night Football. But, anything is possible in the NFL, find our top picks, predictions, & analysis on this weeks primetime matchup.

Moneyline/Point Spread Pick: Buffalo Bills (ML/-11)

Aaron Rodgers and company are staring down the barrel of their first double-digit point spread as underdogs since Rodgers took the helm of this team in 2008. With a poor wide receiver core and a banged up offensive line, the Packers could be in for a long Sunday Night.

Facing the top-ranked defence in the NFL, the Packers are going to struggle mightily to move the ball downfield. Look for the Bills to brutalize and bully the Packers from opening kickoff to the final whistle, demoralizing the Packers for the full 60 minutes of play.

While double digit spreads are not always the most attractive bet to make, a well rested Bills team coming off of their Bye Week will be ready to handle anything the Packers throw at them. This season there has been six games with a spread of 10-points or higher and only twice has the favoured team been able to cover the spread.

However, the largest point spread of the season thus far was set at -14 when none other than the Buffalo Bills covered this against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5 winning in a blowout, 38-3.

This one is a no-brainer, back the Bills moneyline or bet on them to cover the 11-point spread, as they cruise to their sixth win on the season, while the Packers drop their fourth game in a row.

Over/Under Pick: Under 47 Total Points

In a matchup where the Bills are set to run up the score, the Over would initially appear as an attractive bet. But with the Packers sitting on the opposite side of the spectrum, likely instore for a one-sided whooping, the score may be one sided, but it may not be high scoring.

In this Sunday Night Football game the Bills will find ample success both on the ground and through the air against what is a strong Packers defence. The Pack might have a strong defensive unit, but over time their spirit will break, and the Bills will steamroll their way to victory. With phemonenal talent on the Bills offence such as Gabe Davis and Stefon Diggs, there’s going to be plenty of scoring chances for the Bills.

Combine this with the Packers rough day at the office offensively, the Bills who generally don’t take their foot off the gas may throw it in cruise control for the later stages of the game, more than happy to take the easy win.

Simply, the Bills will run up the score, while the Packers stay stagnant. Bet smart, bet the Under on this weeks Sunday Night Football matchup between the Packers and Bills.

Sunday Night Football Player Prop Bets

On top of the great winning wagers found above on the traditional betting markets for the Packers VS Bills, player prop bets are one of the best ways to bet on NFL football.

Player prop bets allow all bettors to wager on the outcome of a players performance rather than the outcome of the game. Player props come in all shapes and sizes including touchdown scorers, statistical totals, and everything else that could transpire over the course of the game.

Find the best Sunday Night Football player prop bets below, add them to your NFL bet slip, and watch the winnings trickle into your account.

Aaron Rodgers Under 238.5 Passing Yards

One of the most prolific gunslingers in NFL history, Aaron Rodgers is going to be neutralized against the amazing Bills defence.

With Rodgers receivers locked down in blanket coverage, finding openings to pass within will be far and few between. Rodgers has a proven track record of making the best of any situation he has been placed in but the odds may be unsurmountable in this marquee matchup. Rodgers is currently on pace to have his lowest passing yard total since 2017, a season in which he only played seven games.

Look for Rodgers to struggle to find his receivers in the open field, as well as his receivers to have a difficult time in their own right in maintaining receptions, something that has plagued the Packers all season long. Bet the Under on Rodgers passing yardage total.

Stefon Diggs Over 80.5 Receiving Yards

Arguably the best wideout in the NFL, Stefon Diggs is set to shatter his previous season-high in total receiving yards and receptions and will look to continue his dominant run against the Packers.

The Packers have one of the best secondary’s in the NFL, but are still going to have their hands full attempting to cover Diggs. With All-Pro cornerback, Jaire Alexander likely drawing the tough assignment of covering Diggs, look for the Bills standout to win this matchup and pile up yardage as a result.

Alexander has struggled in single coverage against top wide receivers this season, in part due to poor coaching as well as lacklustre play. Look for Josh Allen to repeatedly link up with his favourite weapon downfield, racking up receiving yards in the process. Bet the over on Diggs yards and watch the money pile up as Diggs piles up yards.

Packers VS Bills Same Game Parlay
