TNF Odds: Bills vs Patriots Props
- Josh Allen (BUF) Total Interceptions, O/U ½
- Will Josh Allen (BUF) Record a Rushing TD?
- Will There Be A Defensive or Special Teams TD?
- Race To 30 Points
Josh Allen (BUF) Total Interceptions
Allen is easily one of the three best quarterbacks in the NFL. The stud can do it all. But that’s also his Kryptonite; he tries to do it all so he becomes prone to tossing picks. The 26-year-old has thrown a league-leading 11 interceptions with seven in his last five games. To his defense, his elbow injury has bothered him and cut down on his practice time.
With Allen fully practicing with the team, the offense should be smoother. But that doesn’t mean he won’t throw a pick, especially when facing New England’s defense. The Patriots have the fourth-most interceptions in the NFL (12) and have picked off the likes of Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson. Bet online on Allen to throw at least one pick.
- Pick: Over ½ Interceptions -150
Will Allen (BUF) Record a Rushing TD?
However, even if Allen has tossed more picks than touchdowns lately, he’s also been finding paydirt with his legs. Allen has five rushing TDs this season and is one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks. New England has only allowed four rushing touchdowns all season (second-fewest in the NFL). But two of these came from Jackson and Justin Fields.
This Patriots’ defense will feast on the likes of Jared Goff and Kenny Pickett. But a top-tier quarterback like Allen will find a way to keep scoring on them. At the online sportsbook’s current line, it’s worth betting on Allen to score another rushing touchdown.
Thankful for Josh Allen touchdowns 🚀

- Picks: Yes +160
Will There Be a Defensive or Special Teams TD?
As far as being a potent defense, the Patriots are at the top of the NFL. This unit has forced 18 turnovers and scored on three of them. Add a special teams touchdown for good measure. New England is a decent dart throw to score six points with its defense or special teams, especially against a turnover-prone Bills offense.
But the same applies to the other side. New England’s 17 turnovers are the fifth-most among NFL offenses. Quarterback Mac Jones has thrown seven interceptions and fumbled three times (losing one). That’s bad news against the Bills’ defense that has forced 20 turnovers (second-most). Between New England and Buffalo, someone other than their offenses will score a TD.
- Picks: Yes +210
Race To 30 Points
It’s not really a “defensive showcase” if either team scores a lot of points. The NFL predictions have this game scoring around 43½ points on the totals. We expect the game to score a little higher though neither team will reach the 30-point plateau. Buffalo has only hit that mark in two of their last six games and it did it against Minnesota and Cleveland, the latter being the third-worst defense.
As for the Patriots, this team has only hit 30 points once all season. While its defense has given up 30+ points to the likes of Baltimore and Chicago at home, it faces a Bills team that chronically trips over itself. New England has given up 33 and 38 points to Buffalo while in Foxborough. They’ll snap that streak this Thursday.
- Picks: Neither -170
