NFL Football 2011 Betting: Oakland Raiders vs. Buffalo Bills Preview

Very impressive, to say the least. We were touted of the Bills’ expected improvement during the off-season and they certainly delivered the goods with a convincing win at Arrowhead last week.

The focus today shifts to a west coast squad traveling east in our first time-zone game of the season.

The Raiders haven’t let the jet-lag affect them in this series where they are 2-1 SU (one-point loss) and 3-0 ATS at Rich Stadium in their last three visits.

The Raiders were a 23-20 winner in their most recent outing on the road against the Broncos. They covered the 3–point betting spread as underdogs in week 1.

The Black-and-Silver is also 2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS in its last three efforts after making a Monday night appearance.

On the flip side, the Bill have been beasts when tackling the AFC West, going 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS of late. Buffy is also 16-4 ATS in Game Two of the season the last 20 years, including 6-0SU and ATS at home.

The bottom line is with the Patriots on deck (Bills 5-13- 1 ATS as pre-Pats chalk), we anticipate more of a letdown from the hosts rather than the visitors here today.
