Kyle Orton and Teddy Bridgewater both struggled last week and they both had multiple turnovers.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63753&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Orton had an INT and a fumble against the Patriots while Bridgewater threw three INT\u2019s against the Lions. I don\u2019t expect either QB to have a big game this week, but Orton should have a much better week.<\/p>\n<p>Buffalo needs to establish the run early in this game. Minnesota allows 118.2 RYPG (19th) and the Bills will need to take advantage of that weakness because the Vikings only give up 213.8 PYPG (6th).<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The Bills run game has been nonexistent almost as of late and that has to change. They now rank 22nd in rushing yards (101.0 RYPG). With Spiller and Jackson at RB those numbers have to improve.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota\u2019s offense is reliant on a run game, as the QB position is still a work in progress. The Vikings are averaging 17.3 PPG (29th), 194.8 PYPG (30th) and 119.8 RYPG (13th) on offense this season.<\/p>\n<p>Buffalo should have no problem limiting the Vikes run game, as they only give up 67.5 RYPG (1st). That\u2019ll put a ton of pressure on Bridgewater on the road to perform and he\u2019ll struggle up in Buffalo.<\/p>\n<p>The weather isn\u2019t going to be that great, as it\u2019s getting chilly up north at this point. That gives the edge to the team that can run the football more effectively and that should definitely be the Bills.<\/p>\n<p>Buffalo is still in the AFC East picture, but NE won on TNF already so they need to win in order to keep up with the Patriots in the division. This is a winnable game that Buffalo can\u2019t afford losing on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63752&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The Bills will win if they lean on the run game, as the Vikings struggle in that department. Allowing Orton to toss the football around too often is a bad idea and something the Bills don\u2019t need to do.<\/p>\n<h3>Week 7\u00a0NFL Gambling Trends<\/h3>\n<p>* MIN are 0-7-1 ATS in their last 8 games in October.<br \/>\n* MIN are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 games on turf.<br \/>\n* Under is 6-2 in MIN last 8 games on turf.<\/p>\n<h3>4* Free NFL Pick: Minnesota Vikings vs. Buffalo Bills<\/h3>\n<p>These two teams rarely play each other so the H2H trends aren\u2019t helpful in this match-up. This game looks simple to me from a betting standpoint. I\u2019m taking the better run game with the experienced QB.<br \/>\n<b>Buffalo Bills \u20136 (-110)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Bills are also at home, which is helpful because they\u2019re much better at home. After losing badly to the Pats this team will bounce back. The spread is a bit big, but they should win by more than a TD.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our <a title=\"NFL Week 7 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/nfl.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated NFL Week 7 Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 7\u00a0Odds: Minnesota vs Buffalo The Buffalo Bills (3-3) host the Minnesota Vikings (2-4) in what\u2019ll likely be a game full of mistakes.
