This is a very interesting matchup this weekend as the Buffalo Bills Travel accross country to visit the Arizona Cardinals at Phoeniz Stadium.
Last week the Bills traveled to San Francisco and had absolutely no success, suffering a 45-3 defeat. In that game Buffalo was trounced 621-204 in total yards and the 49ers gained over 300 yards rushing and passing versus the Bills porous defense. On the other hand the Cardinals traveled to St. Louis and suffered a defeat 17-3, failing to score a touchdown. I will give the Cardinals a excuse for that game as they traveled accross country on a short week against an opponent in which had been home for 2 consecutive weeks.
In this game Arizona opened at MB as a -5 point favorite and currently, the line has dropped to -4.5 at most books. As we know the NFL is a week to week sport and what happened last week really has no effect on what happens the following week. So lets dig a little deeper into this game, specifically, the opening and current line.
I think we can all agree that we can dig into pages and pages of stats each week to try to pick a winner for any game. In this case I see a line advantage that will allow us not to do just that. Last week the Bills played at San Francisco and opened as a -10 point dog and as we saw were completely outplayed. This week the Bills travel to Arizona and open as a -5 point dog, against what most would think is a pretty comparable team to the 49ers, Arizona. I can't find any valid reason for a line descrepency to take me off of this play. Arizona is off of a loss and have had an extra 3 days of rest, while the Bills are traveling to play their second of b2b road games. Very interesting line here and I have two words, a colon, a plus symbol, a comma, a minus symbol and four numbers to explain this matchup.....
Pick: Buffalo +5, -110
