Buffalo got off to a fast start with a win over the Jets as Tyrod Taylor threw two touchdown passes in Sean McDermott's debut as head coach. The Bills defense picked off three passes and Taylor finished 16-of-28 for 224 yards and an interception. LeSean McCoy ran for 110 yards on 22 carries and the Bills piled up 408 total net yards, including 190 rushing yards for a 4.5 per carry average. Cam Newton played his first game since off-season surgery and completed 14-of-25 for 171 yards and the Panthers win could have been by a larger margin against the 49ers, but Newton missed a wide-open Ed Dickson in the end zone in the first half. Buffalo has gone OVER four times in a row after allowing fewer than 15 points its previous game and the Bills are 6-1 OVER after a win. Also, the Bills have soared OVER in 10 of their last 13 games overall. Meanwhile, Carolina has gone OVER in six of its last eight after a win of more than 14 points. Look for Newton to be even sharper this week. Play the OVER.
