Both the Bills and the Titans have offensive weapons on their second strings, so the scoring in thus contest may actually increase as the reserves begin to filter in. Go Over the 31.
The Buffalo Bills take on the Tennessee Titans in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio on Sunday night.
Only four Hall of Fame Games have had posted totals of 31 points or lower; and all four games went Over the total. The most recent was in 2002 between the New York Giants and Houston Texans, which soared over the 30-point total set by oddsmakers with a 34-17 final. The last two preseason meetings between Buffalo and Tennessee have averaged 33 points per game.
With Dick Jauron on the hot seat in Buffalo, we can expect him to have this team motivated and take full advantage of this nationally televised game. Once the second string defenses comes in things should loosen up. The Bills have some scoring threats in their second string with guys like Roscoe Parrish and Josh Reed seeing a lot of reps.
Also, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick gained a lot of experience filling in for the injured Carson Palmer last year should also do fine against the second string Titans defense.
The Titans will also get to showcase some young offensive weapons off of the bench like Vince Young, Chris Henry, Javon Ringer, and Lavelle Hawkins seeing plenty action tonight.
We'll play over the posted in this game as the second approaches this game should open up quite a bit.
Free Pick: Bills, Titans Over 31 (-110)
