Sheesh.
“It’s great two-way action so far,” Rampart Casino sportsbook director Duane Colucci shared with FOX Sports. “We’ll probably need Buffalo to come through.”
“We’re a little high on the Ravens right now,” noted Tony Miller, executive sportsbook director at Golden Nugget. “As expected, it’s all about the favorites this season. Bettors are parlaying the three other favorites as well: Lions, Chiefs, Eagles all to win.”
“It’s that type of year,” he added, hinting at the unpredictable nature of the current NFL landscape.
That said, observers should not be surprised if the Bills make a late-game surge.
“We actually took a bad number,” a professional bettor remarked from Las Vegas. “We grabbed [Buffalo PK -110] on Monday. We’re backing a strong team at home, and it really feels like this is Josh Allen’s year.”
“I don’t think the other side should be favored on the road,” he asserted.
How about the total points?
“It seems a little high if we’re being honest,” the bettor replied. “Both teams will likely focus on running the ball. You need both teams to score to hit the total. If only one team finds the end zone, it’s going to be tough.”
Common sense suggests that the Bills cannot perform worse than they did in their first matchup. The Bills were missing several key defensive players, and starting safety Taylor Rapp exited the game due to a concussion. This time, they are significantly healthier.
Eenie, meenie, miny, moe.
“It’s a big deal if Flowers can’t go,” the bettor continued. “The Ravens took an early lead in the first meeting and maintained it. They deserve credit for that. However, if Flowers is sidelined and the Ravens fall behind, their offensive strategy will change significantly. It’s much harder to establish the run game when you’re playing catch-up.”
“What’s done is done. We’re rooting for Buffalo right now.”
