The Buffalo Bills seemed to be the team to beat, not only in the AFC but in the NFL, but things have changed. Buffalo has lost 3 of their last 5 and were humiliated at home by the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in a Keystone Cops-like performance which now has them half a game back of the New England Patriots for the top spot in the East. Weather did play a part in last week’s thumping but that will not be a factor tonight when they take on the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome. The Saints have issues of their own, dropping 3 straight, and have been riddled with injuries. Not only are they without starting QB Jameis Winston, they are likely to be without starting running back Alvin Kamara once again and backup Mark Ingram II, and that’s good for Buff who can’t seem to stop the run. Regardless of their lackluster play of late, the Buffalo Bills are one of the premiere teams in the league and have Josh Allen at the helm, who cannot only deliver through the air, he can run the ball as well. Buffalo is a resilient team. They are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 following an ATS loss and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 on the road. The Bills cannot afford to lose this game and they know it because up next are the New England Patriots followed be the Tampa Bay Bucs. The number is climbing and now Buffalo is 6½. Consider laying it.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS -6½
