San Francisco 49ers vs. Buffalo Bills Betting Odds
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
| 49ers | +215 | +6 (-110) | Over 44.5 (-110) |
| Bills | -260 | -6 (-110) | Under 44.5 (-110) |
The odds of the Buffalo Bills covering a 6-point spread and a moneyline of -260 are strong. Taking into account the current season’s results and the fact that San Francisco hasn’t beaten a team on the road, the expectations are that Buffalo will cover the spread. With great form for both offenses, an overbet comes into play; however, It is Buffalo’s impressive home form that makes this bet seem far less risky than the other side.
Brandon Allen QB vs. Josh Allen QB
The starting quarterback position for Week 13 will belong to Brandon Allen for the San Francisco team, even as he has participated in only two games throughout the current campaign. The stats are not impressive, with Allen posting 199 passing yards, scoring one touchdown, and throwing an interception with a passer rating of 76.7. Even though Allen has not performed at a high level, the pressure is on him to make plays in this game. The 49ers seem to depend too much on their quarterback if they are to succeed against the Buffalo defense. He’ll need to be accurate and make quick decisions. With a road record of 1-4, the 49ers will be playing in a very loud NFL stadium and it will be hard for Allen to be calm under these conditions.
Josh Allen has stamped his authority as one of the fiercest quarterbacks in the league this season. His statistical accomplishments this season, including 2543 passing yards, 18 touchdowns and a pass rating of 98.2, show how he is a threat both on the ground and in the air. This season, with the help of Allen’s watchful eyes in the pocket to evade defenders and elusive big plays timing, the Bills enjoyed an even more impressive 9-2 record thus far in the season. Allen’s connection with his receivers has been solid as well, with his movements giving him an edge in the dual-threat area. San Francisco’s defense should look for ways to disturb Allen’s tempo, but his innate abilities and prior experiences show exactly why he is the most skilled player on the field.
San Francisco 49ers Analysis
The 49ers have struggled recently, losing four of their last five games, including a 10-38 blowout against Green Bay. Despite strong individual performances from Jordan Mason and George Kittle, the team has failed to capitalize on key moments. To upset Buffalo, San Francisco will need a complete team effort, especially against a high-powered offense.
Buffalo Bills Analysis
The Bills are on a six-game winning streak, with Josh Allen leading a dynamic offense and James Cook adding balance with 596 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. Wide receiver Khalil Shakir has been a key contributor, while Buffalo’s defense has allowed just 21 points per game during the streak. With home-field advantage, the Bills are primed to continue their strong play against San Francisco.
San Francisco 49ers Betting Trends
The 49ers’ betting trends paint a concerning picture for bettors. They are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games, which highlights their inability to cover the spread recently. Additionally, they are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games, which doesn’t bode well for their chances at Highmark Stadium. San Francisco has been able to win 8 of their last 9 December matchups, so there is hope that they can rally for a strong finish to the season. However, their poor performance in recent weeks makes them an unpredictable choice for betting purposes.
Buffalo Bills Betting Trends
Buffalo, on the other hand, has been a powerhouse against the spread, going 5-1 ATS in their last six games. Their offense has been a major driver, with the total going over in five of their last six games. Additionally, Buffalo has a perfect 6-0 SU record in their last six matchups and is 4-1 against the spread in their last five games against San Francisco. The Bills’ consistency at home, where the total has gone over in eight straight games, makes them a reliable pick for bettors looking for a safe bet.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Buffalo Bills Betting Previews
Buffalo’s strong performance of late makes their 6-point line look relatively easy, especially when one considers that the 49ers do not fare well on the road and are not strong ATS. The over line of 44.5 goes either way, but he betting man can look forward to the over-hitting as both teams have players who can make game-changing plays anytime. Regarding prop bets, one may also look for Josh Allen’s volume of passing yards and number of passing touchdowns, for he usually delivers in situations of clutch. Judging by the statistics presented, one may argue that Buffalo for a spread bet and for a total over should be the right way to go for the betters.
Score Prediction: Buffalo Bills 31, San Francisco 49ers 21.
