Bills vs Falcons Predictions, Picks & Best Bets for Monday Night Football Tonight

The Monday night doubleheader kicks off with the banged-up Buffalo Bills hitting the road to take on a well-rested Atlanta Falcons team.

With an expected uptick in involvement and a favorable passing setup, Kyle Pitts leads the way in my Bills vs. Falcons predictions.

Check out my full NFL picks for October 13 — kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Bills vs Falcons prediction

Bills vs Falcons Best bet: Kyle Pitts Over 3.5 receptions (-115)

The Buffalo Bills are looking to bounce back after a prime-time loss, but the Atlanta Falcons — rested off a bye — aren’t an easy out.

This game is indoors, which typically boosts passing efficiency, and Michael Penix Jr. looked sharp in Week 4. With Kyle Pitts possibly more involved this week, it’s time to take another look at Atlanta's tight end.

Pitts is quietly seeing nearly a 20% target share and is lining up in the slot or out wide on 74% of snaps — more like a wide receiver than a traditional tight end. He’s coming off a 5-catch, 70-yard, 1-TD performance on just five targets and has hit his Over on this reception prop in every game so far.

An indoor matchup at home shouldn't hurt those numbers, and a possible absence for Bills linebacker Matt Milano — who plays a key role in covering tight ends — only strengthens the case. Also worth noting: WR2 Darnell Mooney has yet to practice this week, a bad sign coming off a bye.

Pitts' anytime TD price at +220 or better is appealing, but the real value is in his reception prop. If the Falcons are trailing and Mooney is sidelined, it's hard to see Pitts not clearing a modest receptions total.

Bills vs Falcons MNF same-game parlay

The injury to Dalton Kincaid has shuffled some things around, but with the TE1 now out of MNF, there are going to be more targets for Keon Coleman in an indoor game.

Both coaches said this week that they want to stay away from being too cute, so that sets up well for Coleman in the play-action game and Pitts to have a role near the goal line after scoring his first TD in Week 4.

Coleman also has to get back into his coach's good graces after getting sat for the first series last week in a loss to the Patriots.

Buffalo will need to reset after last week, and James Cook will be more involved.

Meanwhile, Bijan Robinson might be the second-best running back in football, and he will get all he can handle Monday night.

Bills vs Falcons game predictions

Bills vs Falcons moneyline prediction

The last time the Bills lost back-to-back games was Week 5 of last season, and coming out of the bye last year, the Falcons lost 17-13 to the Chargers as a 1-point home favorite.

With Atlanta coming off the bye, the Bills' ML is certainly anything but a lock, but the loss on Sunday night has to be a motivating factor, and Josh Allen is 8-1 SU inside a dome over his career.

Final score prediction: Bills 27 - Falcons 24

Bills vs Falcons spread prediction

Atlanta lost as a 5-point favorite in Carolina in Week 3 in a bad 30-0 loss, but it has been said that there were some communication issues with OC Zac Robinson, which is why he has moved from the booth to field level.

Michael Penix had his best game as a starter with Robinson on the field calling the plays. I'd prefer taking the rested team at +4.5.

Bills vs Falcons Over/Under prediction

I get that it's an indoor game, but Atlanta was just shut out two games ago.

I'm not touching it, but I do prefer the Under at 50.

Bills vs Falcons odds

Spread: Buffalo -4.5 (-110) | Atlanta +4.5 (-110)

Moneyline: Buffalo -230 | Atlanta +190

Over/Under: Over 50.0 (-110) | Under 50.0 (-110)

Bills vs Falcons betting trend to know
