Giants vs Bills Betting Preview: This Fits the Bill for Ass-Whooping
Bills Ready To Welcome Back Old Coach With a Good Ol’ Spanking
Bills Running Away as Week 6’s Widest Favorites
The Buffalo Bills only know how to win one way: via blowouts. And this NFL matchup against their former coach’s New York Giants is tailor-made to produce another. That’s why Buffalo’s betting lines quickly widened from -10.5 points to -14 on the spread and a moneyline from -650 to -900. Now, we look for what the best bet could be in this Giants vs Bills betting preview and it could be all for Buffalo.
New York Giants (1-4) vs Buffalo Bills (3-2) 
Location: Highmark Stadium, Orchard Park, NY
Day/Time: Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET
Stream: NBC
Giants Face a Giant Task of Not Sucking
In this Giants vs Bills betting preview, the former ironically plays the role of David in this David vs Goliath matchup. New York might just be the worst team in the NFL and most NFL Power Rankings have them listed last. And now they head to Orchard Park where they face a Bills team that is likely pissed from having to fly to London just to lose.
The Giants are on pace to have the worst season. They are the only team that is 0-5 against the spread (ATS) and are last in the league in point differential at -91. They’d be -111 if we exclude that second-half comeback against Arizona. They are terrible on both sides of the ball and are plagued by injuries, notably to star running back Saquon Barkley.
Daniel Jones might be the worst quarterback in the NFL and he now has a neck injury. And the other running backs are averaging under three yards per carry. And the defense has been consistently shredded partly due to the offense’s incompetence.
It’s been so bad that Brian Daboll, the Giants’ head coach, can’t help but reminisce about his former quarterback.
“Josh Allen is an unbelievable player, one of the best in the league,’’ Daboll said. “You can put him in probably any offense and he’s going to produce. You know, I missed him as a person, we are close, but as a player, he’s a heck of a player.”
Indeed, the Bills are still tearing up the NFL scoreboards and have more points (68) in their last two games than the Giants have all season (62). Allen is an MVP contender as always. And the Giants are heavily favored to get blown out yet again.
Blowout or Bust: the Bills’ M.O. is the Same
Even before this Giants vs Bills Betting preview, we waxed poetic about how this Bills team is “grittier” than its previous seasons. But their win-loss splits remain identical to the past two seasons. Buffalo either wins big or loses a close one.
The Bills’ wins this season were by 28 or more points. Their losses were within six. That’s just like 2022 and 2021 where Buffalo went 18-0 in games decided by 10+ points but eight of their nine losses were within one score. So the book is out on the Bills: opponents have to get to this team early or Buffalo will run away with the game.
Speaking of running, that’s been a soft spot in this Bills’ top-five defense. Buffalo has the second-best point differential (+79) this season, but it can get exposed by a potent rushing attack.
Travis Etienne ran all over Buffalo last week and led Jacksonville’s 196 rushing yards against it. The Bills give up 5.8 rushing yards per attempt, which is the second-highest in the NFL.
That’s something to consider for folks on the NFL betting lines looking to whale on this team. We’re not suggesting Buffalo could lose to New York (it’s possible).
But covering two touchdowns might get sweaty if the Giants find a way to get the running game going. However, that could also mean the total of 44.5, which has been bet down from 47.5, could go ‘over’ if New York scores points.
