GREEN BAY PACKERS vs. BUFFALO BILLS BETTING PREDICTION

The Packers are off to an incredibly frustrating start to the season, as Aaron Rodgers and co. averaged just 18.3 PPG on 332 YPG across an ugly 3-4 skid to open, which includes head-scratching losses to the Giants, Jets, and Commanders.

The Bills, on the other hand, have arguably been the best team in football through the first seven weeks of the season, as Buffalo racked up 29.3 PPG and allowed a league-best 13.5 PPG across a 5-1 start to the year, with three of their five victories coming by 21+ PTS, and the other two coming on the road against Baltimore and Kansas City.

I’ll back Green Bay to cover here, as there’s no getting around it, the Packers have been one of the biggest disappointments in the league thus far, if not the biggest. However, they’ve still scored 21+ PTS in three of their last four contests, and while the Bills very well could erupt for 30+ PTS and run away with this game by double-digits, I think we’ll see a desperate Packers squad keep things close in Buffalo on Sunday night.

Score Prediction: Bills 26, Packers 20
Best Bet: Packers +10.5 (-110)

GREEN BAY PACKERS BETTING ANALYSIS

Green Bay won the NFC North with a record of 13-4 last season, which narrowly edged Tampa Bay for the top seed in the conference. However, Rodgers’ second straight MVP campaign came to an abrupt halt in the Divisional Round, as the Packers went in cold after their first-round bye and fell to the Niners in a snowy slugfest at Lambeau Field.

The Packers traded away All-Pro wideout Davante Adams this past offseason, which has depleted their receiving core to the ranks of Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Christian Watson, and rookie Romeo Doubs. However, nobody thought the loss of Adams would derail the operation quite like this, as Green Bay went from ranking Top 10 in the league in scoring at 26.5 PPG last season, to now ranking 23^rd at 18.3 PPG this season.

BUFFALO BILLS BETTING ANALYSIS

The Eagles may currently have the best record in the league at 8-0, however, I can guarantee you, Philly doesn’t want anything to do with this Buffalo squad, as the Bills’ defense picked up right where it left off by allowing 21 PTS or less in six straight contests to open the season (13.5 PPG), which is typically more than enough support for their second-ranked offense averaging 29.3 PPG.

The Bills still have their flaws. Their secondary is currently juggling some health issues, and their rushing attack in virtually nonexistent outside of Josh Allen. Regardless of how you spin it, though, Buffalo is still one of the best teams in football, but I just don’t think anybody deserves to lay 10+ PTS against this Packers squad.
