10* NFL Pre-Season GOY
(NFL) Tampa Bay vs. Buffalo,
Point Spread: -3.00 | -107.00 Buffalo (Home)
Result: Loss
The Buffalo Bills will host Tampa in Week 3 of the pre-season, and with the starters expected to see plenty of action, that should favor the home team. The Bucs are coming off losses to Miami and Jacksonville, and it doesn't get any easier in Buffalo. I like the Bills QB rotation here. The Bucs simply don't have a lot of talent at the quarterback position, with all three options more suitable in the role of a backup. The trio combined to complete 15-of-30 attempts for 159 yards and two scores in the loss to Miami. The same could be said about Buffalo, but at least E.J. Manuel has a strong running game to fall back on. Buffalo owned one of the NFL's best defenses in 2013, and so far this pre-season they've held opponents to an average of just 19 points per game and have been solid. WIth the starters expected to play in the 3rd quarter I think the Bills will take care of business this afternoon. The Bills have covered the spread in seven of their last nine home games in the preseason, while Tampa is 1-4 ATS in their last five overall.
