The 7-6 Bills' playoff hopes took a hit last weekend following a 24-17 loss to Denver.

The loss ended the Bills' brief two-game win streak, but after covering as nine-point underdogs extended their ATS win streak to three games. Unlike the Packers, Bills games have been low-scoring affairs with the UNDER prevailing in their last five, while going 11-2 on the season.

The 10-3 Packers will be gunning for a sixth straight SU win when they visit Buffalo. However, the Packers failed to cover for the third time this season when favored by a touchdown or more in their 43-37 win over Atlanta on Monday night, and are just 3-3 ATS in their last six, while the OVER has gone 10-4 in Packers games this season.

A concern for Green Bay is they rank dead last in stopping the run on the road. But is their offense too powerful for a soft run defense to matter?
