Bills vs Buccaneers Preseason Betting Prediction
When examining both sides, this preseason clash comes down to Buffalo’s explosive scoring ability against Tampa Bay’s betting consistency and defensive discipline. While the Bills are undoubtedly the more talented roster on paper, the Buccaneers’ dominance against the spread, particularly at home and against Buffalo historically, should not be overlooked. Bettors will need to decide whether Buffalo’s elite offense can finally overcome Tampa Bay’s betting edge, or if the Buccaneers will once again cash tickets with their balanced approach. With both teams showing distinct trends pointing toward high-scoring outcomes, this Week 3 preseason matchup could turn into one of the more entertaining games on the betting slate.

Bills vs Buccaneers Preseason Betting Prediction: Buffalo
The Buffalo Bills come into this Week 3 preseason battle with a proven ability to score points at will, averaging over 30 per game last season. Their offense is among the most efficient in the NFL, ranking second in scoring and top-10 in both rushing and passing effectiveness. Buffalo’s balance on the ground and through the air makes them difficult to stop, but historical trends suggest caution for bettors. The Bills are just 1-9-1 against the spread in their last eleven meetings with Tampa Bay and a winless 0-7 ATS when playing the Buccaneers on the road. These long-term patterns can weigh heavily in preseason betting, especially in matchups where motivation and roster rotations affect results.

Bills vs Buccaneers Preseason Betting Prediction: Tampa Bay
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been a bettor’s dream in recent months, covering the spread in eight of their last ten contests. The Bucs have not only excelled in the win column, but they’ve also consistently delivered value against the number, particularly when facing AFC opponents, where they boast a 10-2 record versus the East division. Tampa Bay’s defense is especially stout against the run, holding opponents to under 100 rushing yards per game. This could limit one of Buffalo’s biggest strengths and force the Bills into a one-dimensional attack. When Tampa Bay has played as the underdog, totals have gone over in seven of eight cases, making the over a tempting angle in this matchup.
