Look, there's no point in breaking this game down in terms of matchups. I'm not going to waste anyone's time here, because it's clear that the Cowboys are the better team. Let's look at this contest another way.
Monday Madness: I can't remember the last time the Bills hosted a Monday Night Football game, can you? I can't even remember the last time Buffalo was featured on Monday night. I had to ask my future brother-in-law, Brad, an avid Bills fan, and he couldn't even remember. So, I had to look it up: This is the first Monday Night Football game in Orchard Park since... 1994! I can't believe it's been 13 years! I would have thought Al Michaels called a game where Doug Flutie or Rob Johnson hosted another team. Guess not.
Why is this important? The crowd will be absolutely nuts in a very emotional contest for the Bills. Even though Buffalo doesn't have postseason aspirations, this is as close to a must-win the team will have the entire year; they won't want to disappoint their hungry fans.
There is actual precedent for this. In 2004, the Bengals, who were off to a 1-4 start, were hosting a Monday night battle for the first time since the early 90s. They were playing the Broncos as seven-point home underdogs. One of the local newspapers ran a headline reading, "Please Don't Embarrass Us." No one gave the Bengals a chance. Yet, they pulled off an improbable upset, triumphing 23-10.
"The Cowboys Are Going to Rip 'Em:" I asked my friend Chris to give me his first impression of this game. He said, "The Cowboys are going to rip 'em." Later, when I talked to my dad about this matchup, he predicted a blowout in Dallas' favor. When I told him I was considering the Bills as a big play, he looked at me as if I belonged in a mental institution.
This is my October Pick of the Month. Betting football is all about finding spots, and this happens to be a great one for Buffalo.
