#121 ASA PLAY ON Buffalo Bills -3 over Chicago Bears, Saturday at 1 PM ET

Both teams plan to play their starters in this NFLx game which gives the Bills a solid edge.  How long the regulars play is in question for both teams, but even when the starters come out, Buffalo is the deeper and better team and laying under a FG is a decent play here.  The Bills are coming off a 27-15 loss @ Pittsburgh last weekend.  In that game, the Bills outgained the Steelers 5.8 YPP to 4.4 YPP but Buffalo had 13 penalties (just 4 for Pittsburgh) and they turned the ball over 4 times.  17 of Pittsburgh’s 25 points came on drives of 25, 13, and -1 yards.  A week earlier the Bills beat Indy and outgained the Colts by 1.2 YPP so they’ve outgained both opponents by more than 1.0 YPP.  Chicago is also 1-1 (loss vs Colts & win vs Titans) but they’ve been outgained in both games (total yards).  Our word is Justin Fields continues to struggle with accuracy in camp and while he is 3 for 3 in the preseason, 2 of his passes were short dump offs to WR Moore and RB Herbert that went for big yardage (both TD’s).  We like the better, deeper team to close out the preseason with a win.  Lay the small number with Buffalo for our NFLx bet.
