Yes, they're very smart.

 

No, they don't give a crap about who wins or loses and are not especially good at picking that. What they're really good at picking and predicting is how their bettors will bet.

 

They don't get anywhere near 99.9% right on who will win.

Historically favorites in the NFL win outright approx 67% of the time and teams with +5 or more around 75% of the time. Take it for what it’s worth.

How many times did the drought-era Bills go into a game against an opponent with injuries to key players and still manage to lose? If Miami fans, or Bills fans for that matter, think the injury report equals a free win, they are underestimating the depth of this roster and the coaching. Our 3 elite talents - Allen, Diggs, and Miller - are all still playing. I'm still very confident we can beat the Dolphins. My main concern is just making sure none of these injuries linger for the whole season.

Good point. Heard Peter King today mention he was at Bills training camp and said they have by far the deepest roster in the league.

Mix of Settle, Rousseau, Basham, Bryant and brewer would be my guess 

Don’t forget Daquan Jones. Dude has been playing great.

[Excluding JA, predict which player will have the biggest impact - Bills at Dolphins]

Rousseau, it’s all about the front seven and getting pressure.

Pretty interesting that all the players mentioned are on defense and it looks like the entire offense will be available Sunday. I expect Poyer and Hyde to play.

[How about giving Gilliam some touches?]

I can't find the replay, but I'd argue Gilliam spinning himself around like an off balance ballerina had more to do with him not catching that pass than ball placement. I'm fine with a few plays as a change of pace, but if that's a receiver on that play instead of someone not used to catching the long ball it's a touchdown.

You’re right. He actually stopped running and spun and started backpedaling. If he had continued to run he probably would have had both hands on the ball. But I can’t fault him.

Yep, why in the he** would you want a close game rather than a blowout?

Can someone explain to be Tennessee’s defensive strategy? Instead of dropping back into a shell and protecting their banged up secondary, they seemed to be selling out to stop the run and bringing a ton of pressure (disguised rushes and blitzes), and then leaving Diggs 1 on 1.  It was a recipe for a blowout, and I am totally confused by it.

You can either pressure Josh or sit back and let him pick you apart. They chose the former in many instances and got destroyed. The Rams, for the most part tried the latter, and got destroyed. Pick your poison.

This whole "taking away from a victory" is nonsense. They were a weak #1 seed last season...

Aren’t you the troll who was arguing McDermott had never beaten The Titans? Ha ha ha! That’s 3 now. You should hide and not come back.

[Buried in another thread - 20 straight wins by double digits]

This is an incredible stat when you consider 85% of all NFL games are decided in the last few minutes.

Clearly a troll. If you weren’t, you’d know, or at least admit that he’s already beaten Vrabel twice.

The Bills last 19 regular season wins have all been by double digits. The second longest streak in NFL history. When they win, they win big. Hammer the Bills -10.

Greed is as greed does, they offered him a more than fair deal, especially for what he brings to the table as a QB. That FO is not going to do a fully guaranteed contract, just not gonna happen. I wouldn’t be surprised if they let him walk at some point going forward.  
 

I do like when there is turmoil on opposing teams, it’s good for us.

Old saying we have in the legal field-he who represents himself has a fool for a client. 

[Allen picked the Rams apart regardless of coverage]

I was sold on Josh at his pro day when Mike Mayock interviewed him and peppered him with questions and Josh was so quick with responses. I knew then that this kid was going to be special. When the Bills drafted him I was ecstatic.

I completely agree - that's why my solution from the very beginning was to release him regardless of guilt or innocence. You take all emotion and judgement out of the equation and you solve the problem. If he's innocent, you can try to re-sign him, and if he ends up getting picked up elsewhere, he's just a punter. Grab a new one next year.

If you cut him know without any facts you’ve ruined the kid. Not to mention how unfair that would be.

He texted Araiza before any charges or lawsuits had been filed. An opposing lawyer texted a defendant directly. You can't tell me that's SOP by any means. 

That is really bizarre. I’ve handled many PI cases and I’ve never seen that before.

FYI, I agree with you that we should not be making sweeping assumptions about the plaintiff based on her choice of attorneys.  She and her family might not have been well-positioned to evaluated the quality of their representation.  Her attorney might be a mash-up of Lionel Hutz and Saul Goodman, and she still might be telling the truth about everything.

Agreed, we shouldn’t be making sweeping assumptions about either side of this without facts. Our society is surely in trouble if we do. There have so many social media allegations in the past few years that have totally false or highly misleading that we need to let the facts sort themselves out.
