What cashed

Bills ML (-166 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Buffalo won 8 of its last 10 while Baltimore won 5 of its last 10, and Buffalo was the favorite at -166. - What happened: The Bills led from the opening drive to the final whistle and won by 26. Baltimore's offense managed 144 total yards, was 3-13 on third down and turned it over three times. - Worth watching: This was a lower-confidence play for us at 62, and it still landed easily. Moneyline favorites in this range are worth a look when the form gap is this wide, but the price is the whole question.

ALT: Bills over 22.5 team points (-380 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Buffalo had 23+ in 7 straight and 9 of its last 10, averaging 30.2, and Baltimore had allowed 23+ in 8 of its last 10. - What happened: Buffalo scored 36, 13.5 points clear of the line. The Bills were at 23 after Cook's 5-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. - Worth watching: Team totals on an offense this steady are a clean way to play it, but at -380 there is very little room for error, so it fits best as a parlay leg or a small straight bet.

ALT: Josh Allen 247+ passing yards (-113 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Allen cleared 247+ in 7 of his last 10 and 12 of his last 20. At -113 the book implied about 53%, and recent games put it closer to 63%. - What happened: Allen completed 21 of 34 passes for 289 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception, 42.5 yards over the line. The second-half deep shots did it: a 49-yarder to Moore in the third and a 40-yarder to Kincaid early in the fourth. He also ran 7 times for 30 yards and the opening score. - Worth watching: At 63 confidence this was one of our lower-confidence plays here, and it landed. A near-even price on a line Allen clears most weeks is the kind of spot we keep checking.

ALT: Khalil Shakir 30+ receiving yards (-228 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Shakir cleared 30+ in 9 of his last 10 and 16 of his last 20. The -228 price implied 70%, and his recent games put it near 80%. - What happened: Shakir caught 5 of 6 targets for 64 yards, 34.5 over the line. He was past 30 by his second catch on the opening drive, a 26-yarder followed by an 18-yarder. - Worth watching: His floor is the selling point. As long as the targets stay around this level, the 30-yard alt is worth a look again.

ALT: Khalil Shakir 4+ receptions (-122 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Shakir cleared 4+ catches in 7 of his last 10 and 13 of his last 20, about 65% against a 55% price. - What happened: He finished with 5 catches, 1.5 over the line. Three came on the first drive and the fourth was a 9-yard catch in the third quarter. - Worth watching: This one had less cushion than the yardage alt. He saw six targets here, and the catch line lives and dies on volume.

Rashod Bateman under 2.5 receptions (-173 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Bateman stayed at 2 or fewer catches in 8 of his last 10 and 5 of 7 this season, with 2 catches on 4 targets the week before. - What happened: Bateman caught 1 of 3 targets for 22 yards, 1.5 under the line. Baltimore completed only 12 passes all day. - Worth watching: Unders on low-volume receivers in a struggling passing game can be a steady angle. We would keep it on the list while Baltimore's passing volume stays this low.

ALT: Ty Johnson 2+ rushing yards (-119 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Johnson cleared 2+ rushing yards in 8 of his last 10 and 17 of his last 20. The -119 price implied 54% against about 78% from recent games. - What happened: Johnson ran 4 times for 4 yards with a long of 2, which was enough by 2.5. He added 3 catches for 19 yards. - Worth watching: This is a thin line on a small role, so it only works when he gets a few carries. Check the backfield split before playing it again.

How the game played out

Baltimore got within 10-7 on a Derrick Henry 2-yard run after a Buffalo interception, but that was its only touchdown. Buffalo's defense forced three turnovers and Baltimore was 1-3 in the red zone. The Bills then scored three touchdowns after halftime.

Trends to watch

• Allen spread it around: Kincaid had 86 yards, Moore 82 and Shakir 64. That makes any single Buffalo receiver line a volume question week to week.
• Buffalo ran it 41 times for 146 yards, with Cook getting 21 carries. When the Bills lead early, the run game eats the clock.
• Baltimore's passing offense finished with 68 net yards after 4 sacks. Receiver unders on that side stay worth checking.
