JohnC Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 The Vegas SB odds are of course very preliminary. While there are plenty of hard-core posters who believe that the Bills are just around the corner to respectability, the betting professionals have a different view regarding the gap that must be closed before the betting odds reflect that change in prospects for this team. My view is that Nix has to stay with his draft first approch and continue to rework the roster that he inherited. I recognize that there is no quick fix to the mess that he assumed. The shame of the situation is that the Jauron/Levy stint was not only a waste, but it set the franchise back by years. If that disasterous stint would have been wisely managed this franchise would be presently at a respectable stage. http://www.footballlocks.com/nfl_futures_odds.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better chance for success. Best of luck. You got to play to win. You also got to play in order to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a quick fix approach. In Conjunction with drafting high quality athletes, there are established NFL Players who can also help. It's called Free Agency. You can sign these players to better your football team. Bring much needed leadership the Bills desperately need and help with the development of your core players. This process would greatly help the Buffalo Bills. But it Seems Nix knows all, so we should just all submit to his belief system because after all, he's won many championships...

zow2 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Eh, i'd like to see Tampa's odds b/f last season. Then they won 10 games and made some noise. Teams can turn it around quickly with some bounces of the ball. I do think the Bills are trending upwards. Maybe not SB bound yet but they will make some noise this year.

ricojes Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) I bet on them to win IN VEGAS the ticket dude thought I was nuts only $5, though Had to do it When do they play in Vegas? ok bad joke, anyway I was in Vegas 3 weeks ago and the line was nowhere near 150 - 1. So, this must be an online only gambling site or something, and online site, such as this one, can vary greatly. Actually most of the links on this site are out of date, so I don't think this is very current. At any rate, when I was in Vegas, Carolina may have been that high, but the Bills were more around 100 - 1, can't remember exactly though. I did take the Sabres to win the cup, but only at 22 - 1, before free agency they were 75 - 1.....timing is everything!

buffaloaggie Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Even the Bengals ahead of the Bills? Surprising with no QB, A.J. Green is not going to do it alone. They must figure Bills fans are most likely to be suckered into betting with those long odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills need to bring in some free agents to augment the drafting strategy. Will they do so? I hope so. As many others have noted this franchise is not going to sign high-priced and profile free agents. It's simply not their way. That shouldn't preclude them from signing mid-level free agents and cap cut players from other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 It doesn't bother me that we are 150 to 1. It bothers me that the Bengals, in the same division as the defending AFC Champs, and the Ravens and is a team in complete disarray, is 100 to 1.

They make nothing but noise, but it's filled with BOO!!! I don't think I'd take 150:1 but then I play other stuff that's was worse, so, if I was wealking by the Sports Book, I'd probably get sucked in!

MClem06 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 There should be a consulation prize if they make it to the SB & lose. LOL. Seems that there should be something in play there after 5 losses. Maybe the NFL will create a new 2nd place trophy and name it the Norwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
