Bills vs. Bengals, Week 17 betting splits

Betting the spread: The Bills are 1.5 point favorites. 56% of the handle and 50% of bets are being placed on the Bills to cover.

Is the public right? Yes, I believe the Bills win this game. It should be a tough matchup, but I think the better team pulls away at the end. Many have questioned Josh Allen over the past few weeks and I think he quiets everybody tonight. Beating a red-hot Bengals team would impress many. The better defense usually wins these games and the Bills are surely better defensively than the Bengals.

Betting the over/under: The point total is installed at 49.5. 78% of the handle and 79% of bets are being placed on the over.

Is the public right? For as much of a public bet this is, I see the over cashing. Both of these offenses have been electric this season and will be scoring left and right. I expect both teams to score 25+ points. With this game on prime time, look for both offenses to make some big plays.

Betting the moneyline: The Bills are road favorites with moneyline odds at -120. Moneyline odds for the Bengals are at +100. 51% of the handle and 39% of bets are being placed on the Bills to win.

Is the public right? The public is in favor of the Bengals and I think they lose this game. The Bills are better defensively and I think this game will come down to a turnover late. The Bengals also lost La'el Collins which is a big loss for that offensive line. We saw how bad the Bengals were when the line was struggling earlier in the season. I like the Bills to win this game by 3.
