Bills vs. Cardinals Betting Preview

Buffalo is 7-2 on the season after sacking Seattle last week 44-34. The Bills, playing as three-point home dogs, scored the first 17 points of the game and led 24-10 at the half. Buffalo then allowed the Seahawks to pull within 27-20 late in the third quarter but re-established control with 14 quick points early in the fourth and cruised from there for the victory.

The Bills out-gained Seattle but only by a margin of 420-419. But they also won the turnover battle 4-0, picking off Seahawks’ quarterback Russell Wilson twice, recovering two of his fumbles, creating a +16 points differential for Buffalo.

The Bills may be 7-2, but they’ve only out-gained five of their nine opponents this season and out-rushed only four of nine foes.

Two weeks ago, Buffalo beat New England 24-21 but couldn’t cover as a four-point favorite. Three weeks ago, the Bills had to come from behind to beat the winless Jets 18-10 and couldn’t cover at -9.5. In fact, playing against some heightened expectations, Buffalo is just 1-4 ATS over its last five games.

Nonetheless, at 7-2, the Bills lead the AFC East by two games over second-place Miami.

Arizona, meanwhile, just had a three-game winning streak snapped by a 34-31 loss at home to those Dolphins last week. The Cardinals, coming off a bye, gave up a Miami defensive touchdown five minutes into the game and trailed 24-17 at the half. Arizona then led 31-24 in the third quarter, then trailed 34-31 in the fourth. The Cardinals then drove to a 49-yard field goal attempt with two minutes left, only to have it come up short, and couldn’t get the ball back, losing outright as a six-point favorite.

Arizona out-gained the Dolphins 422-312 and won the ground battle 178-91. But that fumble returned for a Miami score in the first quarter, the only turnover of the game, proved to be the difference.

The Cardinals have now out-gained and out-rushed three of their last four opponents, going 3-1 ATS in the process.

Three weeks ago, Arizona out-lasted Seattle in overtime 37-34. Just prior to that, the Cardinals beat Dallas and the Giants by a combined score of 68-20.

At 5-3 overall, Arizona trails the division-leading Seahawks by just one game in the NFC West.

These teams, who have only met 11 times before, last met four seasons ago, a 33-18 Bills home victory. Tyrod Taylor quarterbacked Buffalo that day against Carson Palmer for Arizona.
