Sean McDermott and the Buffalo Bills clinched their division crown for the first time since 1995 and a spot in the AFC Championship Game. Star quarterback Josh Allen put together an MVP-worthy season and found instant chemistry with newly-acquired receiver Stefon Diggs. They were looking like serious contenders all season long and were on the verge of securing their first Super Bowl berth since 1993 until they were upended by the Kansas City Chiefs. With such a young talented corps on their roster, it won’t be the last time the Bills find themselves making a playoff run.

Some role players’ contracts will have to be retooled this offseason, but the only major name set to become a free agent is linebacker Matt Milano. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll was rumored to be leaving Buffalo to take a head coaching position, but he will ultimately stay put. 2021 remains a crucial offseason and the 2021-22 season presents another opportunity for the Bills to make a run.

A betting odds calculator takes the odds and stake of a particular bet and figures out the payout automatically. Thus, in order to understand how to use a betting odds calculator, we must first understand the different types of betting odds. Prop Odds: Team and Player Milestones Prop betting is a wager based on occurrences or non-occurrences during a game or season. These incidents may not correlate with the outcome of a game or even the final score unlike point spreads, totals or straight-up bets.

In the meantime, Bills fans can celebrate their most successful season in almost 30 years– they earned it.

How to bet on the Buffalo Bills

Futures

The Bills were considered longshots to win the AFC East last year with +950 odds on some sportsbooks. This year, DraftKings Sportsbook opened them at +160 odds, indicating their rapid improvement. A $10 futures bet on the Bills to win the division at those odds would cash $16 on top of the original investment if they win the AFC East.

Moneyline

If you want to bet on individual games, the Bills will be favored to win on the moneyline more often than not. The moneyline is a simplified way to bet on the winner of an NFL game with odds corresponding to who is expected to win. Buffalo was often an underdog last year and paid off with +255 odds on the moneyline by winning in Dallas on Thanksgiving. That means a $20 bet on the Bills to win on Thanksgiving paid out $51 (plus the original $20 wager).

Point spread

You can also bet on the Bills using the point spread. A spread is a way to handicap teams that are expected to win by proposing they win by at least a certain amount of points, usually a key number like 3 or 7 points.

Total (over/under)

While they played at an average pace last year, the Bills struggled offensively and that led to only four of their games exceeding the point total. These totals, also known as over/under bets, are set by sportsbooks depending on the opponent, location, and weather, with most Bills sitting somewhere between 38 and 45 points. Tough defense and the inclement weather in Buffalo can often lead to low-scoring affairs.

Betting On Odds

Prop bets

The Bills are not a popular team to target with proposition bets. We mentioned their team futures, but there is a limited market on props for Josh Allen. Propositions are set according to how an individual player might perform in terms of statistics. We should see props released on Stefon Diggs, with a potential bet on the new WR going over/under 5.5 TD receptions after he recorded 23 TD receptions the past three seasons in Minnesota.

Parlays and teasers

If you want to pair bets on the Bills with other wagers, use a parlay or teaser. A parlay refers to stringing multiple bets together, usually from different games, on the moneyline, point spread, or total. If all of the bets listed are successful, the bettor receives a handsome payout corresponding to the combined odds of each bet. However, if any of them fail, there is no payout. A teaser is more conservative since it allows the bettor to move the point spread or point total favorably at the cost of diminished odds.

Bills 2019 recap

Record: 10-6
ATS: 9-6-1

The Bills started hot last season with five wins in six games and covers in four of their first five games. They finished 6-1-2 against the spread (ATS) on the road and 9-6-2 ATS overall, including in the postseason. Their defense allowed the second-fewest PPG (16.5) and second fewest TDs per game (1.9) leading to 12 of their 16 regular season games going Under the point total.

Betting On Odds Poker

Buffalo finished 10-6 to crush their projected win total (7) and make the playoffs. While their defense was elite and their offense flashed at times, second-year QB Josh Allen looked out of his element in the playoffs and basically cost them a chance to beat the Texans in the Wild Card round. Allen did improve from a 52% completion rate and 10:12 TD:INT ratio in 2018, but took 38 sacks and two very costly sacks to effectively end Buffalo’s season.

Nascar Betting Odds On Championship

Already dominant in pass defense, the Bills hope that making a splashy acquisition in Diggs will elevate them offensively in the pass-happy NFL. Josh Allen has been erratic in the intermediate passing game, but has escapability and a rocket arm that can convert deep shots to John Brown and now he has another elite route-runner capable of getting free down the field. Fromm is a potential threat to replace Allen eventually, but the rookie should grab a clipboard for his first couple NFL seasons.

Betting On Odds College Football

Losing Shaq Lawson is tough, but the Bills have depth on the edge with potential key contributors in Addison and Klein. Josh Norman was buried and clearly disgruntled last year on the hapless Redskins, but he could form an elite tandem with Tre’Davious White to keep Buffalo near the top of the league in pass defense. Overall, Buffalo looks like one of the biggest winners this offseason.
