On Sunday afternoon, we may be witnessing a preview of the Super Bowl at Ford Field. In a matchup between two of the best teams in the NFL, the 12-1 Detroit Lions are playing the 10-3 Buffalo Bills.
The Bills lost 44-42 to the Rams in Los Angeles on Sunday, ending a seven-game losing skid and causing Buffalo to suffer its first defeat since October 6. In that game, Josh Allen scored every touchdown for the Bills, extending Buffalo’s run of games with 30 points or more. The Detroit Lions, meanwhile, have won ten straight games and are in complete control.
Best prop bets for Bills vs. Lions
With the total set at 54.5, the betting odds predict that this matchup between two of the league’s highest scoring teams will be high-scoring. Let’s examine some of the top prop bets available at the top Pennsylvania sportsbooks for Sunday, December 15th’s Bills vs. Lions game.
Josh Allen anytime TD (+120)
Where: Sportsbook Bet365
Why: Josh Allen is using both his arms and legs to perform at an MVP level this season. After rushing for three touchdowns last week, he now has nine for the season. During his four-game touchdown streak, the dual-threat quarterback has now scored seven touchdowns, and it doesn’t appear that he will be stopping anytime soon. With this line at -105 at other leading PA sportsbooks, we’re receiving fantastic odds here at +120.
Place your wager now: Josh Allen at any time TD (+120)
David Montgomery anytime TD (-160)
FanDuel Sportsbook is where
Why: The Lions have a two-headed monster in their backfield this season, with David Montgomery scoring the majority of the touchdowns, while the Bills have a dual threat at center. This season, he has scored 12 touchdowns, with Jahmyr Gibbs (who will be discussed shortly) trailing him by 10 scores. Montgomery now has five touchdowns in his previous five games after scoring last week. Given the implied likelihood of 61.5% and the fact that he has scored in 10 of 13 games this season, this is a solid wager.
Now place your bet: David Montgomery anytime TD (-160).
Jahmyr Gibbs Over 59.5 Rushing Yards (-167)
Where: Sportsbook Bet365
Why: Given the difference in rushing yards this season, some could argue that Montgomery has stolen some of Jahmyr Gibbs’ touchdowns. Montgomery is just short of 800 yards, while Gibbs has more than 1,000. We’re betting on Gibbs to rush for at least 60 yards against the Bills on Sunday afternoon in light of those stats. For the first time since Week 1 of the season, he was restricted to 43 yards last week, gaining less than 63 yards. In six games, he has amassed more than 80 yards, and in two of them, he has surpassed the century mark. This, in addition to the Over 59.5, provides a ladder opportunity.
Place your bet now: Jahmyr Gibbs will have more than 59.5 rush yards (-167)
Khalil Shakir Over 49.5 Receiving Yards (-177)
Where: Sportsbook BetRivers
Why: In order to discuss wide receiver Khalil Shakir’s receiving yards prop, we’re returning to Buffalo’s side of things. Although he has had a few poor games this season (42, 19, and 30 yards), he just had a fantastic game against the Rams last week, gaining 106 yards on five catches (eight targets). He has been a reliable option in the Bills attack, which has led to him gaining more than fifty yards in six of his previous seven games, including two games where he has surpassed the century mark. This season, the Lions have let at least one wide receiver score 50 yards or more in every game, including five in which at least two WRs scored 50 yards or more.
Place a wager now: Khalil Shakir will have more than 49.5 receiving yards (-177).
Tyler Bass Over 2.5 Extra Points (-177)
Where: Sportsbook BetRivers
Why: Although betting on kicking props isn’t particularly thrilling, you must keep in mind that you’re wagering on a team to score three or more touchdowns. Tyler Bass, the kicker for the Buffalo Bills, has had at least three extra points in four consecutive weeks and six of his last seven games, including five and six XPs in the previous two games. The Bills are only +2.5 underdogs on the point spread, yet the game’s total is set at a high 54.5. Bass should dominate the XPs, and they should score three touchdowns at the very least, if not four or five.
Put your money down now: Tyler Bass Over 2.5 Extra Points (-177)
