The Buffalo Bills look to bounce back from their loss as an 10.5-point favorite last week against the New York Jets. It was the second double-digit upset this NFL season. Teams coming off a loss as a double-digit favorite tend to bounce back, covering over 62% the following week in the past 20 seasons.
That win pushed the Jets over their win total of 5.5. The Jets are the first team to clinch their win total over. Two other teams clinched pushes last week, with the Seattle Seahawks clinching at least a push on over six wins, and the Green Bay Packers clinching at least a push on under 11 wins.
Green Bay is currently a five-point underdog, which is the largest underdog role for the Packers at Lambeau Field in any Aaron Rodgers start. Rodgers is 5-1 ATS in his career as an underdog, though the Dallas Cowboys are 5-0 ATS as road favorites over the last two seasons.
This week, five more teams have win totals at stake, including the Seahawks and Packers. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers can go under 11.5 wins with a loss, while the New York Giants (seven) and Atlanta Falcons (five) can clinch pushes on their overs with wins this week.
