Buccaneers vs. Bills: How to Bet
Point Spread: This bet is also popular in pro leagues like the NBA. The number of points by which a particular team wins or loses determines the bet’s result. Teams either win or lose against the spread (ATS).
Here’s an example:
Buccaneers -3 vs. Bills +3
The minus sign (-) indicates the Bucs are the favorite, and the plus sign (+) indicates the Bills are the underdog.
Buffalo “covers the spread” if they win by four or more points. A Bills bet wins if the Bills lose by fewer than three points or win outright.
Prop Bets: These side bets are on particular events like touchdowns in the Packers games or the MVP awards, for instance.
