buffalo可作名詞或及物動詞用
buffalo作及物動詞用有威脅/恐嚇﹐愚弄/令人困惑的意思
vt. (及物動詞 transitive verb)【美】【俚】
威脅/恐嚇
Don't buffalo me into doing something I don't want to do.
別威脅我做我不想做的事。
使困惑;愚弄
His maneuvers in the market had his competitors buffaloed.
他在市場上所耍的花招把他的競爭對手都搞糊塗了。
> When someone has you buffaloed
這是個「使役」句
Subject + have + Object + Verb (原形動詞/過去分詞)
Someone + has  + you    + buffaloed (過去分詞表示被動接受動作者)
「When someone has you buffaloed」
有「某人讓你受威脅/把你搞糊塗」意思
> 是不是把受詞移到主動詞之前?
> 原句是不是
> When someone has buffaloed you 
這是個普通的現在完成句
Subject + have + Verb (過去分詞) + Object
Someone + has  + buffaloed       + you
意思是「當某人威脅/愚弄你的時候」

兩句的分別
「When someone has you buffaloed」使役句: 某人(直接或間接)讓你被威脅/愚弄時
「When someone has buffaloed you」簡單句: 某人(直接)威脅/愚弄你時
另一個例子會更易明白
「When someone has you paid」使役句: 某人讓你付帳時
「When someone has paid you」簡單句: 某人付帳給你時
