Bills Gunning for Fourth Straight Win in Home Date with Fading Niners
The Buffalo Bills will be trying to win four straight games for the first time since the start of the 2008 NFL season when they host the freefalling San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon in an NFL Week 6 matchup at New Era Field.
The Bills followed up a pair of impressive upset wins over Arizona and New England with a 30-19 victory in Los Angeles last weekend, covering as 2.5-point road favorites after Sportsbook as 3-point underdogs. Buffalo is now 5-2, straight up and against the spread, over their past seven, holding opponents to 19 or fewer points in six of those contests.
San Francisco is coming off its fourth straight defeat, SU and ATS, falling by an average margin of 14.25 points during that slide. The 49ers have been particularly bad on the road, going winless SU and ATS in their past four, and 1-11 SU, 2-10 ATS, since Week 14 of the 2014 campaign.
The 49ers claimed victory in their past two clashes with Buffalo, including a narrow 10-3 win as 7-point underdogs in their last visit to Western New York eight years ago, and have covered in seven straight against AFC East opponents. However, they face a Bills squad that is an impressive 5-1 SU and ATS in its past six at home.
