The Buffalo Bills have their eyes on a third straight preseason victory in Saturday’s head-to-head showdown with the visiting Green Bay Packers. Mitchell Trubisky led the charge in a 41-15 demolition job against his former team, the Chicago Bears, last week.
Meanwhile, the Packers have stalled offensively in back-to-back losses to the New York Jets and Houston Texans. Love will return after injuring his shoulder against the New York Jets and leaving that game early. Buffalo was vulnerable along their defensive front last season, and they allowed an average of 260.8 air yards per game when playing at home.

Why bet the Green Bay Packers
Mitchell Trubisky split his former team last week by throwing for 221 yards and a touchdown. However, that performance will be hard to replicate against the Packers. The line is more inflated than it should be for a couple of reasons. Buffalo knows what it has to work with on offense, so there’s no reason to go all-in with the regular season right around the corner.
Love is back in the mix after suffering a shoulder injury in the first preseason game and is in line to get playing time if he doesn’t suffer any setbacks before kickoff. If the 22-year-old gets extended exposure, the road team could avoid losing by double digits.
Why bet the Buffalo Bills
Buffalo‘s key players will see action in Saturday’s preseason finale. Quarterback Josh Allen is reportedly slated to start after sitting out Weeks 1 and 2. While it’s unclear how many of Allen’s favorite weapons will suit up and for how long, one of last year’s most productive signals is a threat to put points on the board in a hurry.
Green Bay has lost by an average of 14 points in the preseason while playing primarily against backups. The Packers could have a tough time turning things around in their first and final away game of the preseason, especially since they’ll be facing the most talented team they’ve seen so far. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers looks ready to sit, so Green Bay shouldn’t come close to reaching full strength at any point in this matchup.
Final betting analysis between Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills
Green Bay‘s offense has struggled to put up points in the preseason and has allowed 23 or more points in both games. Most of the starters have been on the sidelines during the preseason and it still seems unlikely that Aaron Rodgers will be out there this week.
Expect to see a lot more play from the backups, which could result in a third straight preseason loss Saturday in Buffalo.
