Lions vs Bills smart money at Kalshi
What smart money tells us
Kalshi traders have the Bills with a 68% win probability and the Lions at 32% in the Lions vs. Bills game market. The 54.5-point Over/Under is one of the highest totals by the NFL Week 2 odds. The Over is, predictably, the favorite in this prime-time spot with a 52% probability.
The money on the total is aligned with Joe Osborne's Top Pick for Lions vs. Bills:
The Bills were a wagon at home last year and should want to put on a show in their debut at their new stadium. Detroit's high-flying offense can go shot for shot with them and should be on their A-game after almost blowing a 21-0 lead in Week 1.
For what it's worth, their 2024 meeting produced a 48-42 Buffalo win, and we need considerably less scoring to cash this one.
Our Kyle LaRusic also looks at three Lions vs. Bills touchdown picks that could help get this game to the Over.
