Value Play
Raymond Report Value Play Recommendation
| Play | Rating |
|---|---|
| Houston Texans +5 | ⭐⭐⭐ 3-Star Lean |
| Under 43.5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4-Star Lean |
Houston at home, catching points, with a defense that gives real resistance? Yeah, that’s a classic ATSstats.com value setup.
Buffalo should win the game outright… but don’t be shocked if this comes down to a late possession, and that hook matters.
Final Recommendation
Bills 22 – Texans 19
Take the points and consider the Under.
If Buffalo wins, it’ll be by squeezing the life out of the clock — not fireworks.
Closing Betting Tip
If you’re laying -5 with Buffalo tonight, you’re paying retail like someone buying a TV on Boxing Day without checking the flyers. Value lives with the ugly dog.
