Before the season started, most NFL fans would have circled the Packers versus Bills Week 8 Sunday Night Football matchup as a potential game of the year candidate.

Buffalo has held up its end of the bargain racing out to a 5-1 start, but unfortunately Green Bay has been a massive let down. The Packers sit at 3-4 after dropping three straight games and, for the first time in Aaron Rodgers’ career, are double-digit underdogs in the NFL public betting trends.

Packers vs Bills ATS Betting Splits

The ATS betting splits are relatively even, with Buffalo drawing slightly more tickets. At this rate, the spread is likely to remain at 10.5 when the game kicks off, but that isn’t stopping one of our experts from backing Josh Allen and company in the Packers vs Bills picks.

Green Bay enters play with a dismal record against the spread. They’re 2-5 ATS this season, with a league worst minus 7.9 cover margin. The Packers had been 9-0 straight up and ATS following a loss under Matt LaFleur prior to Week 6, but they’ve failed to cover in that exact scenario in back-to-back weeks.

Buffalo meanwhile, is 4-1-1 against the spread this season, with a league best plus 9.92 cover margin. Josh Allen is playing at an MVP level, and is a focal point of the Packers vs Bills players props. They rank number one on defense per DVOA, and second behind only the Chiefs on offense.

Green Bay vs Buffalo Total Betting Splits

Given the inefficiency of Green Bay’s offense, it’s not surprising that sharp bettors are hitting the under. 57% of the money wagered on the total so far is on under 47, and that money is coming from just 35% of the over/under bets.

The Packers rank 23rd in points per game and 21st in total offense. They’ve scored more than 22 points in just two games this season, and they needed overtime to get there in one of those contests. Rodgers, the two-time reigning NFL MVP, has yet to exceed 255 yards passing in any outing this season, and ranks 26th in QBR.

Also working against them offensively is the loss of Allen Lazard. Green Bay’s number one wideout will miss this game per the Packers vs Bills injury report.

Buffalo meanwhile, ranks number one in both scoring defense and total yards against. They’re fresh off holding the Chiefs to only 20 points, and have yielded under 21 points in 10 straight regular season games dating back to last year.

Of course, the Bills offense is elite but the Packers in theory are one of the few teams equipped to hold them in check. Green Bay ranks 11th per DVOA in pass defense, and fourth in pressure rate.

GB vs BUF Moneyline Betting Splits

Given this is the last game of Sunday’s slate, it’s not surprising that such a high percentage of the moneyline tickets and handle are backing Buffalo. A gigantic amount of those wagers are almost certainly tied up in parlays, as few bettors are likely to fire on Buffalo at -450 odds on a single ticket.

89% of the moneyline bets and 83% of the handle are on the Bills, as those bettors clearly aren’t scared by Rodgers’ prime time dominance. Rodgers has won each of his past 13 prime time games, although most of those contests were as a favorite.
