Tampa Bay vs Buffalo Pick, TNF UNDER?

Buffalo has been terrible since stomping Miami a month ago, while Tampa Bay has regressed with consecutive losses. Can you trust the Bills with 8.5 points at home or should bettors be checking out the UNDER trends here in the Week 8 Thursday Nighter?

Dawson Knox is out for Buffalo and the Bills defense has injuries galore. But Baker Mayfield and Chris Godwin are banged up which potentially limits the effectiveness of two key weapons.

Tampa Bay is riding an UNDER trend overall, on the road, as an underdog while the Bills tend to play UNDER on short weeks (10-3 past 13 Thursdays).

Why Tampa Bay can cover the spread

The Bills have been struggling on both sides of the ball and have a short week to recover, making this an ideal cover spot for Tampa Bay. They also enjoy a 7-1-1 ATS run vs Buffalo going back to 1980.

The Tampa red-zone defense ranks #1 in the league, which gives them a chance to force field goals and hang around in the game. With 8.5 points on give, the Bucs can manage this number.

Why Buffalo can cover the spread

The Bills will change things up on offense, minus Knox and being forced into more 3 WR sets. It should create some variety and momentum for Josh Allen.

Buffalo usually wins SU in non-conference games (11-2 SU) and the Bucs seldom cover vs AFC teams (0-6 ATS).

Tampa Bay Buffalo Pick

Tampa Bay has played five straight UNDERs when catching points and the Bills offense has shown no signs of life over three games. Combine a struggling offense with a top-rated RZ defense sprinkle in injury woes on a short week and we see this game UNDER 43.5.
