3 Bets to Place for the Buffalo Bills vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buffalo Bills host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. Both teams are coming off losses. The Bills were stunned by the Miami Dolphins 30-13. The Bucs lost to the New England Patriots 29 -23. The Bills are 6-3 on the year, while Tampa is also 6-3.

Sports betting can be a lot of fun. I, for one, enjoy hopping on an app or visiting a place like Seneca Niagara Casino and Resort, where they have a sports betting area. Regardless of how you like to do it, I thought it would be fun to pick the things I would bet on involving this game.

Before You Go Using My Advice on Betting

Now I am not an expert. I have no skin in the game other than, like you, I like to play the occasional parlay and make small bets on the games. So, taking my advice isn't a foolproof plan, let alone a good idea. Then again, no one's advice really is. It's gambling: nothing is certain, only probable or improbable. Additionally, it is worth noting that this article is not an advertisement. Gambling can be a serious problem for some.

I got these lines from Seneca Niagara Casino and Resort, since they are local to WNY. They are similar to other sports betting apps as well.

3 Bets to Place for the Buffalo Bills vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

1. Total Touchdowns Over 5.5 (-105)

• The Bills will look to rebound after a tough loss in Miami and will likely be able to move the ball against the 20th-ranked defense and 24th-ranked pass defense in the NFL. Yes, it's easy to be down on the Bils after their dud in Miami, but prior to that game, they averaged over 30 points a game and are likely to return to that trend. Plus, Tampa should be able to score against the Bills 14th 14th-ranked total defense. Point it: these two teams should combine for over 5.5 touchdowns.

2. Winning Pargin Bands Bills Win by 7-12 points (+400)

• The Bills are 5.5-point favorites in this one, so if you'd take that bet, take this one. I like the Bills to bounce back this week because they have a tendency to do so after laying an egg like they did in Miami.

3. Tampa Over 21.5 Points (-104)

• Tampa has a lot of weapons, and the Bills' defense hasn't been great this season. The Bills are a team that allowed 30 points to a 3-win team last week. Now that may not continue this week, but the Bills allow 21.9 points a game. While I think they will win, I think this game has the potential to be a bit of a shootout.

One Longshot Bet To Make

Will a Safety Be Scored? Yes, +1500

Because why not? $1 wins you $15 if it happens, and I love taking a random bet like this because you just never know, and it pays out a lot. Have some fun!

You may see these and think, "What a dummy." That's fine. Like I said, I'm no expert. Just a guy who will drop a few bucks on these bets this week. What bets do you like? Let me know on our app.
