Thursday Night
Gibbs’ rushing yards line against Buffalo is 90.5 and his anytime touchdown price is around minus 320, reflecting a Bills run defense that let David Montgomery score three times in Week 1. He touched the ball 34 times in Week 1 and Detroit is on a short week, so how much of that workload carries over is the question.
