Buffalo Bills vs San Francisco 49ers Point Spread Picks

Combine the Knicks (-700) and the Bills (-280) into a 2-team parlay at -181 odds.

The San Francisco 49ers re-asserted their air of invincibility last week with a 34-0 whitewashing of the Jets. The Niners took out their frustrations from a loss in Minnesota. After a 34-0 win and the Minnesota monkey off their back, will San Francisco be crisp for another AFC opponent? Don't forget that San Francisco has a date and a score to settle with the Giants next week. Buffalo has looked both good and bad this season, as the offense has been their calling card. The offense has averaged close to 30 points per game, and they had New England on the ropes last week up 21-7 before they imploded. The Niners aren't the blowout type of team - they wear teams out with patience and a solid defense. Their last seven wins show just last week's win vs. the Jets the only blowout. All the others were by 8 points or less. The Niners are just 8-24-4 ATS following a win of 14 points or more. San Francisco has unfinished business to attend to next week, and have gotten satisfaction last week after their first loss. Play on Buffalo.

I think by now everyone saw the meltdown by Mike Singletary after his first game taking over this team. The fact is his team was playing heartless and soft, and he called some players out, and the Niners are now playing hard for him. Buffalo is off of a big win in Kansas City, at least in the eyes of the public. But how quickly people forget. This is a team that dropped four straight before their win in Kansas City last week. What they did last week was beat a team that has been 1-19 in their last 20 regular season games, so using that game as a marker for a team to have turned things around would be a big mistake. They gave up 31 points to a team that only surpassed that mark in a game against Denver, one of the worst defensive teams in the league. The win doesn't make up for the fact that this once 5-1 team that was allowing 19.6 ppg, has now gone 1-4 allowing 26.2 ppg. They have defensive issues, and have only gotten to the QB 18 times all season. Just remember Oakland got 23 on this team, Kansas City just got 31, and Cleveland posted 29. The Niners have hung tough on the road at Arizona, who has been blowing everyone out at home. They crushed St. Louis on the road, and matched Dallas first down for first down, with 16 apiece. Buffalo should not be a hefty chalk here, and I'll back the Niners with the points.
