Even though Buffalo upset the Rams on Monday night in Week 5, the line for this game has moved in favor of the Raiders. The Bills went from six-point favorites<\/a> at open to 5.5-point favorites while the total has held steady at 53.5. Buffalo is 4-1 this season, but it has looked beatable over the last three weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n Bills vs. Raiders Score Prediction<\/p>\n SI Betting\u2019s Iain MacMillan has taken on the challenge of betting on every NFL game this season in his Road to 272 column<\/a>. Earlier this week, he explained why he\u2019s betting on Buffalo to cover and move to 5-1:\u00a0<\/p>\n I think I was right about the Raiders when I picked the Patriots last week. This is a team that got off to a hot start, but not one we should view as legitimate contenders. Their defense is a decent unit, but they still are one of the worst rushing offenses in the league, and since they can’t run the ball, they have to rely on Kirk Cousins’ arm, which is going to work far less often than it did the first four weeks of the season.<\/p>\n The Raiders’ offense won’t be able to keep pace with Josh Allen and the Bills’ offense. I’m happy to lay the points with the spread set below the magic number of seven.<\/p>\n After a soft schedule to start the season, the Raiders have come back to earth with losses to Kansas City and New England in back-to-back weeks. Things won\u2019t get any easier against a Buffalo team that is No. 1 in the NFL in EPA\/Play, No. 1 in yards per play and No. 5 in success rate.<\/p>\n Now, the Raiders may be able to move the ball against this Buffalo defense, but this spread is inside a touchdown, which makes it a lot easier to stomach. Brock Bowers and the Raiders are a top-10 team in EPA\/Pass, but they\u2019re also just 30th in EPA\/Rush.<\/p>\n A one-dimensional attack will make things a lot easier for the Bills on defense, especially since they\u2019ve been great against the run, allowing just 3.9 yards per carry in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019ll back Josh Allen and Co. to earn an easy win \u2013 and cover \u2013 in Week 6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Final Score Prediction: Bills 31, Raiders 20<\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Claim the latest DraftKings promo code<\/a> offer today.
