Buffalo at Las Vegas

October 18, 2026
img4:25 PM Eastern

Las Vegas gave up 45 points at New England last Sunday after trailing 21-7 at the half. Before that game, Las Vegas had led at the break in each of its first four games, by 11, 3, 3, and 3, and it scored 27, 26, 35, and 27 in those games. Tight end Brock Bowers missed the first two of those games and practiced in full Thursday. Buffalo has allowed 29 or more points in four of five games, 31 to Houston, 31 to Detroit, 29 to New England and 34 to the Rams, and its 28.2 points allowed per game are the fifth-most in the league. Buffalo’s first-half margins have been ahead by 3, ahead by 17, tied, ahead by 3, and ahead by 6, and it has scored 164 points in five games. Wide receiver DJ Moore and defensive tackle Ed Oliver did not practice Wednesday or Thursday for Buffalo, and both missed Monday’s overtime win at the Rams. I’m on Las Vegas with the points for the first-half and the full game Sunday afternoon.
