The Buffalo Bills continue to get opponents that seem to fall right into Buffalo’s areas of strength. In week 8, the Bills took on a Washington Redskins team that is in an offensive fog right now and shut the Redskins out. It is the first time that head coach Mike Shanahan has ever been shutout in his NFL coaching career. The Bills’ seemingly non-existent pass rush rang up nine sacks in this game and made the Redskins’ offensive line look like it didn’t even bother to show up. The Bills’ offense seems to have no problems scoring points against any defense, so the fact that Buffalo put up 23 points on what is considered a good Washington defense is not a surprise.

The New York Jets have been slowly improving over its last few games. Aside from the Breeder’s Cup betting last week, the Jets’ win over the San Diego Chargers in come-back fashion made sports headlines all over the country. The Jets were able to capitalize on what looked like a San Diego team that was rapidly falling apart.

It’s Halloween and you couldn’t find a better treat then Norv showing up as a division road favorite.

As it is, our aptly named PEEK-A-BOO angle from the 2004 BLACK BOOK reminds us that road favorites struggle in games when they have the defending Super Bowl champions on deck.

The San Diego Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs will fight on Monday at Arrowhead Stadium in a battle of division rivals.

In fact, teams in this role are just 9-24-2 ATS on the division highway.

Couple that with KC’s 21-6-2 ATS record as division home dogs, 4-0-1 ATS log at home on Mondays off a SU win and HC Todd Haley’s 14-5 ATS mark as a dog versus a foe off a SU loss and there’ll no rotten apples in tonight’s pillow sheets.

The Sunday Night Football action on the Week 8 is between the division rival Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field and will be televised at NBC.

We might be going out a limb here but we can promise that this crucial NFC East battle won’t turn out the same way as last Sunday night’s 62-7 Saints rout of the Colts did.

In fact, our database tells us that this one should come right down to the wire: the Cowboys are 4-1 SU and ATS in this series since 2009, including an opening-round playoff win that year while the Eagles are a head-turning 9-0 SU and ATS after fighting the Redskins.
