The Minnesota Vikings saw the line open up as high as 9.5 and Tipico Sportsbook had the line at 7.5 as of Sunday night.
As of Wednesday morning, the line had dropped all the way down to 3.5 points with the Bills still as the favorite.
The line movement is almost certainly tied to Josh Allen’s injury status. The only time the line moves that drastically is if there is an injury and almost every time it involves the quarterback position.
The status of Allen is still up in the air but the sharps don’t believe he will play. The first sign of a star player being out is usually reflected in the betting lines.
This will be something to continue to monitor as, without Allen, the sportsbooks have this close to a toss-up on a neutral field.
