The Buffalo Bills will try to revive their flagging playoff hopes on Sunday when they host the Indianapolis Colts in an NFL Week 14 matchup at New Era Field. The Bills were all but eliminated from contention in the AFC East divisional race with last week’s 23-3 loss to New England as 7.5-point home underdogs while the Colts fell 30-10 to Jacksonville as 10-point road underdogs in their third straight loss.
- The Colts are 7-2 SU in their last nine games against the Bills.
- The total has gone UNDER in five of the Colts’ last six games against the Bills.
- The Bills are 4-1 SU in their last five games against AFC South teams.
Buffalo’s defeat by the Patriots extends their current second-half slide to 1-4 SU, and leaves the Bills trailing the Baltimore Ravens by one game in the race for the second AFC wild card. The Bills have scored just 13 total points over their past two home dates and are looking to avoid three straight SU losses on home turf for the first time since October 2015. Buffalo has also been a dismal performer at the sportsbooks of late, going 2-5-1 ATS in its past eight overall.
The Colts have struggled to generate offense during their current three-game SU slide, averaging just 14.3 points per game over their past three to tumble to 28th in the NFL this season with a meager 17.1 ppg. Indianapolis has also been a brutal road team since late last season, going 1-6 SU and 2-5 ATS in its past seven, but the Colts are a perfect 6-0 SU in their last six outings while riding a three-game losing streak.
Indianapolis has fallen to defeat SU and ATS in its past two visits to Western New York, including a 27-14 loss as 1-point chalk in September 2015, and has covered just once in five meetings with the Bills.
