Eight out of ten ESPN analysts chose the Bills over Indianapolis for their week 14 matchup.
FiveThirtyEight, a respected sports analytics site gives the Buffalo Bills a 72% chance to win this game. FiveThirtyEight widened the spread and gave the Buffalo Bills the edge at -6.5.
Buffalo will be starting a rookie quarterback again; just weeks removed from the five-interception game. Or half. Buffalo may be on their way out of the playoff mix if they can’t piece together a win here. My prediction: The Bills’ defense carries them to a win over the Colts Sunday in a snowy one.
