San-O Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 early line buffalo minus 3.5 http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/ http://www.footballlocks.com/nfl_lines.shtml Nice. THX. I was wondering about that. I don't gamble, but wondering if the great showing today moves a line much in the early season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00tabaga Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Wow.....and we get 3 just for being at home! That will change Tuesday I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Nice. THX. I was wondering about that. I don't gamble, but wondering if the great showing today moves a line much in the early season? 3.5 is what I expected and I'd guess it would've been 2.5ish if they had played week 1. So a little, but not too much (although any point that crosses the 3 line is kind of a big deal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 That line is without the Raiders having played their game. I think how well the Raiders play this upcoming game will set the line. If the Raiders play poorly I could see the Bills being a 4.5-6 point favorite BUT if the Raiders play well I could see the line being 3-2.5 Bills (Basically giving the Bills the 3 point home team bump).

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 If I can get 3.0 or less I'm all over it, otherwise I'm letting it go. Just never know with this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#34fan Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 All that means is that the oddsmakers expect us to lose by a TD or more. As a betting man, I'd only take us on the OV/UN or as a home dog. That's IF I bet on my favorite team. Which I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The Raiders remind me of the Bills a little. No one knows a whole lot about them and most don't think they're very good, but I think they're alright. Not a great team, but not an easy out either. There speedy receivers worry me some as does their running game. Sure Jason Campbell is no Brady, but he's playing pretty well in Oakland and will be a better test than Cassell was this week. A win over the Raiders would impress me moreso than the win today. Should be an entertaing game. Im hoping the home field advantage gives the Bills the edge. I can't wait to be there!

Dorkington Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I'd rather take the Raiders seriously than think of it as an automatic win. Hopefully Chan and the boys are preparing like the Raiders are the best team in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Chan and the boys are preparing like the Raiders are the best team in the league. Let's hope that happens every week. Just ask the Chiefs what happens when you don't... Go Bills!

CSBill Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) I'd rather take the Raiders seriously than think of it as an automatic win. Hopefully Chan and the boys are preparing like the Raiders are the best team in the league. A great win, but we have to take every team seriously. This is young team that needs to learn how to win. And one huge factor in learning how to win is learning how to forget yesterday's game and start focusing on the next opponent. This next game will be the next test of how far this team has come.

The Senator Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Ultimate trap game for a young team like the Bills - we're coming off a big and unexpected (by most ) on-the-road blowout of last year's AFC West division winners, and facing what most perceive as an 'easy' opponent a week before what most fans consider the ultimate early test of this young Bills team. (Very easy for the Bills to be looking past the Raiders, with thoughts running thru our young guys' heads of a maimed Marcia* Brady* looking up at the sky from her* supine position on the RWS carpet!) It will take all of Chan Gailey & Co.'s collective coaching abilities to keep our team's collective feet firmly planted on the ground and 100% focused on the Bills home opener. That's why I'm being much more cautious this week, only predicting... TOTAL DOMINATION Buffalo Bills 53 OakTown Raiders - 0 GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

Phlegm Alley Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 On one hand, the Raiders always seem to be an upstart team because of the division they are in, the improvement of their running game, and the fact they finished last season with a respectable record of 8-8. I don't think their any better than last year however. They lost their most dependable receiver in Zack Miller, which means there will be more defenses game planning against the run and forcing Campbell to throw. If teams can stop OAK's running game, they will probably be successful in beating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Avenger Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 How do you put a game up on the board before one of the teams has played their week 1 game? What about injuries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Raiders swept Chefs last year We have on our side they are playing a late MNF game on the road and then travel to east coast for a road game at 1 Sunday (10 am Cali time). Brutal way to start the season. Edited September 12, 2011 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutal way to start the season. Great point. I though the NFL was going to try and have games featuring a west coast opponent on the east coast start at 1pm or later because there was a tremendous amount of disparity in these games in the past. Just another reason to like the Bills this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 That is a sorry a*s line, if you ask me... the Raiders coming off a short week with a bad team. Don't they remember what happened when they came to Buffalo the last time, when we really had a bad quarterback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
