Buffalo Bills vs New York Giants 9/15/19 NFL Betting Odds

The Buffalo Bills play their second straight game in New York as they take on the New York Giants in Week 2 of NFL action at the MetLife Stadium on 9/15/19.

The Buffalo Bills proved in Week 1 that it’s not over until the fourth quarter ends. Despite committing four first half turnovers and struggling on offense for three quarters, the Bills rallied from a 0-16 deficit and scored 17 unanswered points in the final 18 minutes of action to pull off the road win.

Running back Devin Singletary had four carries for 70 yards while wide receiver John Brown had seven catches for 123 yards plus the game winning touchdown catch with three minutes left in the game. But more than the offense, it was the Buffalo defense that gave them the win. They put the pressure all game long and shut down Jets quarterback Sam Darnold, not allowing the latter to get into a rhythm. The Bills had the #2 defense last season and that was responsible for the total going under in seven out of their last eight games.

The rebuilding continues for the New York Giants and week 1 was not a good start for that kind of year. Star running back Saquon Barkley exploded for a 59-yard run and the Giants scored on their first drive of the game. But the Giants fizzled and were outscored 35-10 the rest of the way for an opening week loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

As usual, Barkley was sensational with 15 carries for 139 total yards but outside him, the offense struggled badly. Eli Manning threw for 304 yards on 30-44 passing with one touchdown but he could not get into any momentum all-game long. Evan Engram led the receiving team with 11 catches for 116 yards with a touchdown while Cody Latimer had three catches for 74 yards. Jabrill Peppers led the Giants’ defense with seven tackles.

Who Wins?

Buffalo is the NFL betting favorite here and they are  1-4 SU in their last five games played in Week 2 and the Bills are 1-5 SU in their last five games played against the Giants. On the other hand, New York is 1-4 SU in their last five games played and the Giants are 1-4 SU in their last five games against an opponent from the AFC conference. New York is also just 1-8 SU in their last nine games played in September. Head to head, the Giants are also 2-0-1 in their last three games played against the Bills.

The Giants are out rebound from their opening week loss and are at home so that should give them plenty of confidence. But remember that the Bills played the Jets in week 1 so travel won’t be an issue here because they played in the same venue the last time out and pulled off the win. The Giants are 4-12 SU in their last 16 games played at home. There isn’t too much to like about Buffalo but there may be more to dislike about the Giants. Prediction: Buffalo Bills

Other Bets To Make

Buffalo is 1-4 ATS in their last five games against an opponent from the NFC East Division and 1-4 ATS in their last five games played against an NFC conference opponent. New York is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games against an AFC East opponent and 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games played at home. Head to head, the Bills are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games against the Giants.

Buffalo is 4-1 ATS after a win but 0-6 ATS in their last six road games against an opponent with a losing home record. New York is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games played in September. The Giants and the plus points may be tempting because they are playing against the Bills and there is a chance that the Giants can beat them. But Buffalo was solid in preseason play and although they didn’t look that good against the Jets, they rallied to get the win. Prediction: Bills -1.5

The total has gone under in 10 out of the last 15 games played by Buffalo. The under is also 7-1 in the Bills’ last eight road games played. The total has gone under in four out of the Bills’ last six Sunday games played. On the other hand, the total has gone over in five of the Giants’ last six games played but under in each of their last five games played in week 2. The total has gone over in five out of the Giants’ last six games played on a Sunday but the total is 6-3 in their last nine head to head matches against the Bills.

These teams combined to score 42.33 points per game in their last six games played and 48.0 points per game in their last three meetings. Only thrice in their last seven meetings have these teams combined to score more than 43 points in a game. I’m not a fan of Eli Manning’s game and that’s it!  Prediction: Under 43.5
