Sharp money moves line on Bills-Texans ‘Thursday Night Football’ game​
LV REVIEW JOURNAL SUBSCRIPTION

The Bills shot up to 6-point favorites over the Texans this week after Houston quarterback C.J. Stroud was ruled out for their “Thursday Night Football” game with a concussion.

“We opened 5½, and once we heard Stroud was out, we bumped it up to 6,” Westgate SuperBook oddsmaker Ed Salmons said. “But the line was pretty much made with him not playing.”

Sharp bettors at the Westgate took the Texans, as the consensus line dipped to 5½ on Thursday and as low as 5 at the South Point sportsbook.

“We saw some sharp play on the Texans +6 (Thursday) morning,” SuperBook vice president of risk Jeff Sherman said Thursday afternoon. “Currently at Bills -5½.”

Professional sports bettor Randy McKay made the Texans +6 one of his best bets this week.

“Line opened -3½. Went up with Stroud news,” said McKay (@RR39). “Houston’s offense is better at home than on the road versus a below-average Buffalo defense. On the other side, you have (Bills quarterback) Josh Allen against one of the top defenses in the league without weapons.”

Buffalo tight end Dalton Kincaid, a Faith Lutheran High product, and Bills wide receivers Curtis Samuel and Mecole Hardman will miss Thursday’s game.

“I expect a low-scoring game,” Salmons said. “It’s a game Buffalo figures to win, but I think Houston will keep it low scoring — 20-10, 23-17 — something like that. I definitely lean to the under.”

The Texans (5-5, 4-6 ATS) beat the Bills 23-20 last season in Houston and have won three of the past four meetings. The Texans have won and covered two of their past three home games, beating the 49ers 26-15 and erasing a 29-10 deficit in a 36-29 win over the Jaguars while losing 18-15 to the Broncos.

The betting public is all over Buffalo (7-3, 5-5 ATS), which has won and covered three of its past four games, including Sunday’s 44-32 win over the Buccaneers. The Bills are 2-2 straight up on the road, whipping the Jets 30-10 and Panthers 40-9 while losing 24-14 to the Falcons and 30-13 to the Dolphins.

At STN Sports, 78 percent of the tickets are on the Bills. At BetMGM, 79 percent of the wagers and 84 percent of the money are on Buffalo.

DOC’S COMP PLAYS
Soccer Prediction From Nick Menken:

Take Manchester City (+100) over Newcastle (12:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 22)

Manchester City is looking like themselves again, as they are storming up the table to chase down Arsenal. On the other hand, Newcastle has been unable to replicate their form from last year, as losing Aleksander Isak has dented their attack. Man City still has their goal scorer in Erling Haaland, and that will be the difference maker in this tie. The Sky Blues are criticized for overly relying on the Norwegian, but as long as they keep piling up the goals and the wins, it does not matter. Newcastle have looked vulnerable at the back; they don’t have the same offensive venom and will be up against it when the surging Man City come to town. At +100, City to take all three points has real value following the international break.

College Football Prediction From Scott Spreitzer:

Take #157 Charlotte (+43.5) over Georgia (12:45 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 22)

The Georgia Bulldogs are off the big 4th quarter and win over Texas last weekend and they have a date with 9-1 Georgia Tech up next. After facing Texas, Mississippi State, Florida, Ole Miss, and Auburn, they draw what is basically a glorified practice this week against Charlotte. This is the kind of game where Georgia obviously wins but doesn’t go full bore for four quarters. The Bulldogs are on an 14-0 SU run when laying at least 38 points but they’re 0-13-1 ATS. Georgia will cruise in this one of course but I’m betting they fall short of the number again. My comp play is to take the points with Charlotte. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

College Football Prediction From Scott Rickenbach:

Take #144 Maryland (+13.5) over Michigan (4 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 23)

This line moved from an early opener of 11.5 to as high as 14 as of early this week. I understand the move but this number is quite big to lay on the road in this spot. Of course, I do realize the Terrapins have issues. However, Maryland recently announced they are keeping Locksley for 2026 although this team is having a 2nd straight disappointing season and they’ve lost 6 straight games. The first 3 defeats were by 4 or less but the last 3 all by 15 or more! This included Maryland losing 55-10 at home against Indiana. However, I actually like the underdog Terps here. The fact is there is a big concern for Michigan in this one as they are hosting Ohio State next week. Huge game of course. Also, the Wolverines biggest margin of victory in a Big Ten game is just 17 points and the average margin of those Big Ten victories is around 9 points. This line has been pushed up too high. The Wolverines’ passing game has really struggled and so they must rely on the run, which makes it hard to blow out a team like Maryland. Two years ago, Michigan was -19 at Maryland the week before facing Ohio State and they won only by a 7-point margin. Grab the big points with MARYLAND.

NFL Prediction From Strike Point Sports:

Take #255 Jacksonville (-2.5) over Arizona (1 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 23)

I am fading Arizona again. I was all about the 49ers last weekend because Arizona is a more dangerous road underdog than they are home underdog. The Cardinals seem to be getting worse with each passing weekend while the Jags are realizing that a good defense and running the football wins games. If it wasn’t for an epic comeback by Houston, Jacksonville would be 6-2 straight up in their last eight overall games. I just don’t like what Arizona brings to the table and they won’t be able to win this game. Lay the small number here.

NFL Prediction From Vernon Croy:

Take Baltimore (-13.5) over New York (1 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 23)

Take Baltimore ATS as my NFL comp play for Sunday November 23rd, 2025. I feel like Baltimore is hands down the superior team here and I definitely expect them to take care of business at home against a bad Jets team. Baltimore did get off to a slow start last week at Cleveland but that will not happen for them at home and they did come from behind in that game against a very good defense putting up 23 points in that victory. Meanwhile New York was blown-out by 13 points at New England and now they faced probably the best team they have faced all season. I do expect Baltimore to have tremendous success on the ground against this New York Jets defense. New York has allowed 130.9 rushing yards per game this season and this is a Baltimore team that has averaged 142 rushing yards per game this season. New York has allowed 26.8 points per game over all this season and Baltimore has averaged 25.2 points per game, however those numbers are a bit skewed because Lamar Jackson was injured. Play Baltimore ATS.

Soccer Prediction From Doc’s Sports:

Take Cincinnati (+170) over Inter Miami (5 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 23)

This line is the Messi Effect as there is great value on the Orange and Blue here at home at TQL Stadium for this single-elimination playoff match. Cincinnati got the advantage of playing at home by having a better record, and the fact that they are above Miami in the standings yet an underdog here at home tells you all you need to know about where the bookies expect the money to come in on this one. Messi is the biggest draw in MLS and he brings in all the cash. But this will be no easy match for Inter Miami. Miami has just two road wins in eight matches since the summer. They are just not as good of a team on the road as they are at home. Cincinnati is a very good team. Last time Miami visited, in July, they held Messi in check but came up big offensively in a 3-0 win. They have a +8 goal differential in their last two home matches against Miami. Just really great value here at this price and we expect Cincinnati to go through to the conference finals.

NFL Prediction From Griffin Murphy:

Take San Francisco (-7) over Carolina (8 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 23)

San Francisco comes into this game 7-4 on the season and coming off a blowout win over the Cardinals last week, which resulted in a 41-22 final. Brock Purdy is back at the QB spot and had himself quite a game. Purdy went 19-26 for 200 yards and 3 TDs. This 49ers offense looks very explosive, and defensively they are stout in the interior. Carolina has found success in the run game, which opens the pass for Bryce Young. We believe this is going to be a crunched-up game for Carolina and do not believe they will be effective offensively. Let’s lay the 7 points here, as we believe the 49ers will throttle right through the Panthers and continue their NFC West divisional race.
