Hall of Fame Game
Betting on the preseason might be a weird thing to some, but this is the first football game we’ve had in months. Naturally, you won’t find huge favorites or large point spreads to get in on, but if you have a few dollars to throw at a team you think might be playing harder than the other, why not?
Whatever the case, the Bills and Giants will get things underway proper on Aug. 3, and we’ve got some betting lines. At the time of writing, the Bills are favored to win the game, -1, according to OddsShark. The score prediction is Buffalo winning, 17.5 to 15.2. Buffalo has been favored on the books since the opening lines on most sites.
The over/under for the match is set at a modest 32.5 points. The over seems like a smart bet when it’s that low, or at least that’s where all the money seems to be going at this point. There’s also some opening odds for the other preseason matchups, which begin proper on Aug. 7, so head over to OddsShark to check them out.
