Betting Odds
Point Spread: Bills -2.5
Total Line: 42
The Bills are currently at the top of the lower part of the AFC East division, having secured two wins and two losses this season so far. Following their impressive third week victory against the Miami Dolphins though, Buffalo slipped when it came to facing the New York Giants last week. Despite the loss, Buffalo still claimed ratings for top passer (Tyrod Taylor), top rusher (Karlos Williams) and top receiver (Charles Clay) from the game. Yet, despite such achievements, the Bills weren’t able to compose a decent enough offence, managing to notch up just 77 yards altogether and two first downs on first nine possessions.
This means that the Bills will be ever more determined to earn another point in the win column, and for them to be able to do this, quarterback, Taylor needs to be more disciplined in his passes, especially considering running back, LeSean McCoy and wide receiver, Sammy Watkins are both out on injury at present. The Bills have given up an average of 376.2 yards overall this season, placing them in 22nd position, which should force them to rethink their defence tactics. Tackles may have come fast and furious from the likes of Corey Graham and Nigel Bradham, but they need to boost their level against Tennessee.
Speaking of the Titans, they’ve only played three games this season so far, but have managed to lose two of them in back-to-back performances. Week three saw them fall at the hands of the Colts, who managed to just scrape through with a 35-33 win. Tennessee failed to protect a 13-point advantage in the game, being systematically overwhelmed by the Colts’ quarterback, Andrew Luck. However, the Titans’ quarterback, Marcus Mariota still played a great game, recording 367 yards with two touchdowns. Two interceptions would mark the end for the team though.
Tennessee have been consecutively decent in their offensive attempts, claiming an average of 375.7 yards per game so far, giving them a ninth position. Average points of 29.7 per game means that they’re currently fifth, according to official statistics. However, they’ve managed to give up an average of 25.7 points to opponents so far, which ranks them 22nd this season – although, they’ve only allowed an average of 194.7 pass yards, which ultimately gives them a position of sixth for both this area, and overall defence.

The Bills are beat up on offense. Their QB is hobbling. They may have to start their third and fourth string RBs this week and their WRs are dinged as well. Can the Titans win? I doubt it, but they have proven that they can play a little bit of defense especially pass defense. The Bills as you know paly top rate defense and if Marcus Mariota can be safe with the ball points will be hard to come by for both teams.
Take the UNDER 42 – Guys note that the 42 is key here even in the year of the missed extra point. You can get this line at Bovada. A great sportsbook for getting that extra half point on a line.
