NFL 2024/25: Colts – Bills
The Bills are still on course for the playoffs after their narrow victory against the Dolphins. Victory in the AFC East should only be a matter of time. The Jets are currently in second place with just three wins. Buffalo has seven.
I have the right odds for five of six games for Josh Allen’s team. In my Colts Bills betting tip, I am once again using the Bet365 bet configurator, which has worked great the last few times.
I am throwing the two single odds into the mixer – namely that the Bills will score a touchdown in the first and second half.
A field goal from a whopping 61 yards decided the game against the Dolphins last week, an important win in the AFC East. The Bills have a solid record of 7-2, only being overrun by the strong offenses of the Ravens and Texans.
Against the Dolphins, the win rate was a bit too clear for my liking. The Bills had only allowed a few points in the games before, but they hadn’t faced the crème de la crème either, especially when it came to the game with the ball.
With the Dolphins touchdown in each half, I got a whopping rate of over 1.80 and took it with thanks. In the end, it was 30-27 for Bufallo, the third game in a row with over 30 points for the team from the state of New York.
This time, I bet on the franchise scoring in each half in the opponent’s end zone, and was pleased with odds of 1.54. To place this bet, I again used the Bet365 configurator.
There you can follow the games live in a stream, just like on Winamax. No Gamepass quality, but it’s free! Winamax is also offering new customers a free betting budget of up to 115 euros.
There are a few arguments that led me to this bet, because the numerous scores don’t come out of nowhere. For me, the most decisive factor is the unpredictability and versatility of the Bills.
Allen dominates all passing variations, intersperses the running game again and again, and occasionally rushes himself when there is open space.
When it comes to just a yard or an inch, the quarterback sneak, which works practically every time for the 108-kilo, 1.96-meter man, comes into play. A good mix to keep the drives alive.
Overall, the quarterback with the number 17 is also more consistent than last season. He has thrown 17 touchdowns and only produced two interceptions, although the last one was not his fault – the pass was exactly right.
Last season, things looked quite different: he left the pocket too quickly, made desperate attempts to get a pass off, and was generally too agitated. The fact that he continued to work on this is what characterizes a top quarterback in the NFL.
The Colts’ poor defensive numbers also speak in favor of my bet. Although they have allowed fewer than 25 points in eight of nine matches, they have allowed their opponents to score a lot of yards overall.
The Colts average 383.6 passing yards, the fourth-worst defensive figure in the NFL. Only the Panthers have given up more rushing yards. The average of 233 through the passing game is also weak.
A versatile offense therefore faces a defense that has problems in complex situations. What also motivates me to bet on the Bills is the fact that the Allen team covers the yards quickly.
With 28.9 points per game, Buffalo scores fourth best in the NFL, but only has the ball for around 29 minutes on average.
In addition, no offense was on the field as short as the Colts, who averaged 25 minutes. Both Joe Flacco and Anthony Richardson have not yet been able to produce impressive numbers.
The 22-year-old was given the worst completion rate in the NFL, with a staggering record of four touchdowns and seven interceptions!
Conclusion and Prediction: The Colts urgently need a home win to avoid going 4-5, but that’s definitely not what I expect, even though the Bills defense is quite fragile. Overall, the Colts have offered too little, especially under Richardson.
If you produce so many turnovers and have by far the lowest average time of possession, you shouldn’t be surprised that the defense is among those that have allowed the most yards.
The Bills have broken the 30-point mark three times in a row, and I think they are superior in all areas and should get an away win without any problems.
However, I have had my doubts about the defense, especially against the competition from the AFC, so I’ll go for the following combination instead! Bet365 not only offers a wide range of NFL bets but also all odds boosts.
My tip: Bills score in each half.
