Published in Football
The Los Angeles Times' NFL writer, Sam Farmer, examines this week's matchups. Lines according to FanDuel Sportsbook(O/U = over/under). Last week's record 10-6 (.625); season 108-71-1 (.603). Using point spreads with the scores Farmer predicted, the record against the spread last week would have been 8-8 (.500); season 84-92-4 (.477). Off: Arizona, Carolina. Times Pacific.
Bills (8-3) at Patriots (6-5)
Thursday, 5:15 p.m.
Line: Bills by 4. O/U: 43 1/2.
Buffalo is going to miss injured pass rusher Von Miller, but they have plenty of talent along the defensive front. New England's offense is going to have a tough time moving the ball.
Prediction: Bills 27, Patriots 17
Steelers (4-7) at Falcons (5-7)
Sunday, 10 a.m.
Line: Steelers by 1 1/2. O/U: 42 1/2.
Pittsburgh does a decent job of stopping the run, and the Steelers should be able to throw against a bad Atlanta secondary and win back-to-back games for the first time this year.
