The Oakland Raiders are on the road to face the Buffalo Bills in this week 2 AFC matchup. The Raiders won their week 1 game 23-20 against the Denver Broncos, and the Bills destroyed the Kansas City Chiefs 41-7. This was the first time in a long time that the Bills destroyed something other than their own reputation. Below are the latest Raiders vs. Bills betting lines for this interesting week 2 game.

Latest Raiders at Bills Betting Lines: Week 2, 2011

Oakland Raiders vs. Buffalo Bills Point Spread

At the BetOnline Sportsbook, the Buffalo Bills are favored at -3 (-115). If you’re willing to give up an extra 1/2 point, you can get -3.5 (-105) at Bodog.

The point spread on the Raiders is +3.5 (-115) at Bodog, and they’re +3 (-105) at BetOnline.

Last season the Raiders had the 2nd ranked rushing offense, while the Bills had the worst rushing defense in the NFL. Darren McFadden and Michael Bush should be effective at gaining yards and time of possession, and I expect this to be the difference in the game.

I like the Raiders to win outright, so I’m not taking the extra 1/2 point at Bodog. Instead, I’ll take the Raiders on the point spread at +3 (-105) at BetOnline, and I’ll also take them on the money line.

Bills vs. Raiders Money Line

As I mentioned above, I like the Oakland Raiders to win this straight-up, so I’ll be taking them at +150 at the Bodog Sportsbook. Because of their week 1 destruction on the Chiefs, I think the public is expecting too much from the Bills. Although they’re playing in Buffalo, I feel like the money line should be closer, more like +120 for the Raiders. At +150, I see good value in this bet.

If you disagree with me, the best Bills money line is -165 at BetOnline.

Raiders vs. Bills Over/Under Betting Odds

The latest Raiders vs. Bills over/under is 42 (-110) on either side at BetOnline and Bodog.

I expect both of these teams to be running a lot, which will make it harder to go over the total. However, both teams could break plays, especially McFadden for the Raiders. Also, the Raiders like to go for the occasional bomb, which could pay off once or twice during the game. The Bills put up 41 against the Chiefs last week, which is only one point under the entire game total for this one.

I’m expecting a Raiders win in the scoring range of 24-17 to 30-23. This give us more potential over wins than unders, so I’ll be betting the over.

Bet on Oakland Raiders vs. Buffalo Bills

I’ll be betting on the Raiders point spread and money line this week. I like the Raiders to win outright, and if they do I take home two wins. If they lose by one or two, I push. I like my chances on this one. I’ll also bet the over on the total. I see this game score ranging from 41 to 53, so a total of 42 looks like a good over bet to me.
