Best NFL prop bets for Patriots vs. Bills in Week 18 (Bills by a billion)
By Josh Yourish
The Buffalo Bills have had the toughest week of any team in the NFL, but with the news we continue to see about Damar Hamlin and his recovery, the more spirits are lifted in Buffalo. The Bills still have a shot at the No. 1 seed in the AFC and the NFL is working to sort everything out after the canceled game, but all Buffalo can do is take care of business against New England and keep the Patriots out of the playoffs.
The Bills will be playing inspired this week and if you’re betting props in this game, I strongly advise backing Buffalo.
Best NFL Prop Bets for Patriots vs. Bills
Patriots vs. Bills -3.5 1st Half (-122)
Stephon Diggs Over 77.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Rhamondre Stevenson Under 52.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Patriots vs. Bills -3.5 1st Half (-122)
The Bills will come out with so much energy in this game, they’ll be playing for their teammate who will hopefully be out of the hospital by then. Buffalo is also the much better team under any circumstances, the last time these two teams played, The Bills were up 17-7 in the first half and it felt like it could’ve easily been much worse. They’ve shown time and time again that they’re too fast for Belichick’s defense and Mac Jones has no chance of keeping up.
Stephon Diggs Over 77.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
A big part of Buffalo’s 24-10 win over New England this year was Stephon Diggs, the Pats didn’t have an answer for him. He finished that game with seven receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown. For the short time that the Bills did play in Cincinnati, they utilized Diggs out of the slot a good bit and were moving him around in the formation. I think they’re gearing up for the postseason and are going to see if they can get creative with Diggs’ usage.
Rhamondre Stevenson Under 52.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
I had success fading Stevenson last week too. His total has come down because of how much the Patriots relied on Damien Harris in his return from injury, but I think they’ll lean on Harris again. Stevenson has made crucial mistakes that have cost the Patriots games and if you do that to Belichick you find your way to the bench.
