June 16, 2023The Buffalo Bills enter the 2023-24 NFL betting season having won the AFC East three straight times and logged double-digit win tallies in four of Josh Allen’s five seasons running the offense. Last year’s squad went on to win 13 of 16 played games with one cancelled due to the on field collapse of Damar Hamlin which ultimately cost Sean McDermott’s squad a shot at the AFC’s No. 1 overall seed. Would last season have ended differently had it not been forced to run up against Joe Burrow and the Bengals in the Division Round? One will never know. Regardless, I find it very interesting to see BetRivers Sportsbook offering up their season-long win total 1.5-games shorter than where it went off the board a year ago. Doubt is starting to creep in for linemakers about the Bills, and that’s something NFL bettors must take into account before locking them in as division champs and Super Bowl LVII contenders. Leslie Frazier won’t be calling the defensive shots anymore, and it seems the injury bug or Mother Nature always finds a way to derail the fortunes of this franchise – is it cursed?

Buffalo Bills Season Wins Total: 10.5 Over -159
It didn’t matter whether you bought in at 11.5 or 12, the Bills still managed to go over their season win total odds in 2022-23 by way of amassing a +8.6 scoring differential which clocked in only behind the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles. In doing so, Buffalo has gone on to exceed its win total four of the last five seasons and certainly looks to have the firepower to do it against in 2023-24; provided the injury bug doesn’t take another big bite out of the active roster. But after running up against a middle of the road schedule strength a season ago per Sharp Football Analysis, Allen and co. will now be forced to run up against the No. 29 ranked schedule strength with each and every game to be played following the Week 13 bye of the losable variety.

Buffalo Bills Season Win Total Analysis
I recommended fading the Bills win total a season ago and ended up paying for it. Regardless, I’ll be doing it again in 2023-24 as I just don’t see this team being the dominator it’s been from year’s past. Something always seems to come up and bite this cursed franchise at the worst possible time, so I can’t wait to see what the football gods have in store for BillsMafia this season! Fingers crossed Buffalo gets out to a perfect 3-0 start and we can fade the Bills at a juicier number in the readjusted futures odds market over at BetRivers. That trio following the matchup with the Commanders is a gauntlet! It gets nine home games overall though one will take place against Jacksonville in London Week 5.
Six of its true home games will be played before the Week 13 bye which means it’ll only play in front of the hometown faithful twice down the stretch. On top of that, the first place schedule of a year ago earned them visits to Paul Brown Stadium, Lincoln Financial Field, Arrowhead Stadium, and SoFi Stadium for non-divisional matchups against the Bengals, Eagles, Chiefs, and Chargers. I can see them going 0-4 just as easily as 2-2 in those dustups! As much I respect Josh Allen’s game, the offense is nowhere near as deadly without his dual-threat ability. Now in year six of his professional career, how much more can the unit bank on his scrambling ability to get the job done? I truly feel the window of opportunity has already started to shut on this franchise. Again, look to fade the Bills total in season at a juicier number. If you must get in at the outset, I recommend hitting the under at a nice plus-money return.
Buffalo Bills Season Win Total Prediction: Under 10.5 +128
