Top NFL player prop bets for Bills vs. Buccaneers

After analyzing Bucs vs. Bills and examining the dozens of NFL player prop markets, SportsLine AI says Bills quarterback Josh Allen goes under 261.5 passing yards. After using his size and athleticism to excel as a runner, Allen made mechanical changes that led to him becoming one of the most prolific passers in the NFL over the last four seasons.

However, he's battled issues with turnovers along the way, throwing 36 interceptions over his last 40 games. He has failed to reach 240 passing yards in three of four games this season, while his 90.4 passer rating against zone coverage ranks 22nd among NFL quarterbacks.

Now, he'll take on a Buccaneers defense that plays zone nearly two-thirds of the time and game script might lead to Buffalo focusing on the running game to protect a lead. The Bills are favored by 9.5 points at home, a big reason why SportsLine AI is predicting Allen only throws for 231 yards. .
