Buffalo Bills Betting Favorites in NFL Week 4 at Bodog
This weekend - Week 4 of the 2011-12 NFL regular season is jam-packed with a smorgasbord of exciting games, including the highly anticipated showdown between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals, where interestingly, the Bills will start as the -3 point favorites (O/U 43.5) according to top internet sportsbook, Bodog.
I say interestingly, because during the preseason the Buffalo Bills were not earmarked as a team that would start the season they way they have. The Bills will enter Sunday's game with a 3-0 record, to the surprise of NFL betting fans and the team's detractors alike, who will no doubt be glued in front of their sets to see if they can make it 4-0.
According to most NFL handicappers, the Bills have what it takes to beat the Bengals. And if they do, they will extend their early lead in the AFC East Division even more, as well as improve their chances of making it to the playoffs this year. That said, the season has barely begun, and Buffalo's fortunes could easily take a downward spin.
It's not hard to forget how in the 2008 NFL season, Buffalo kicked off their campaign with an impressive 5-0 record before the wheels fell off, and the team crashed and burned during the remainder of the season. Fans of the Bills will be holding thumbs that the team does not repeat the same mistakes this season that it made that that season.
Buffalo Bills 28/1 Odds of Winning Super Bowl XLVI
But for right now, the Bills have seen their odds of winning Super Bowl XLVI (on February 5, 2012) improve to 28/1 at Bodog, and it's not hard to see why. Because it's not just the fact that Buffalo have won each of their games so far, but how they've won those games that has peaked the interest of NFL betting fans across North America.
Consider the impressive manner in which the Bills crushed the Kansas City Chiefs by a whopping 41-7 on the road in Week 1, how they eked out a notable 38-35 win against the Oakland Raiders at home in Week 2, and how last week they came from behind to beat their mighty AFC East rivals, the New England Patriots, 34-31 at home.
For our NFL betting buck, we see the Buffalo Bills extending their winning record against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. And if they can just keep it together and take their games one at a time, the Bills could become the standout franchise of the season.
