HamSandwhich Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Who cares what Vegas says? Really? I would say the casinos that stand to gain or lose millions of dollars on any given Sunday. These numbers aren't arbitrary. And I wasn't grasping at straws. Comments were made saying what makes you think the Cardinals are an inferior team and I posited that Vegas odds predicted this game to be close. If the Cardinals were really the world-beaters that people are making them out to be, it would've been a +7-+10.5. Not really straws, just facts. They dont throw s&%t at the wall to see what sticks over in terms of betting lines. And I don't think they saw something in the Bills that made them move the line lower. Right? 100 points in two games? So they must have seen something negative in the Cardinals. Maybe they thought the Bills would not have 3 in a row lost, they're going to have their backs against the wall and come out fighting. Maybe they believe the Bills are better than their two blowout losses in a row, maybe it WAS because they think the Bills are better or maybe it was because its hard to figure out with all of the injuries on both teams. Good teams win games with injuries because they have good depth. The Bills won, I think thats a statement about their depth against a good team. Whole lot of assumptions in your responses.

NoSaint Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Like I said: And also the line was only +4.5 for the Bills. We just gave up 100 points in two games and the Cards were 4-1 and playing at home. I don't think I'm the only one who thought they were soft. That's a pretty meek line for a team with an 8-game winning streak at home. Would it be better if I didn't call the Arizona Cardinals inferior? Would that help this argument? Would it be better to just say we handed them the ball in field goal range in the dying seconds of the game and that they lost it for themselves? If he hits that 38-yarder, we're not having this discussion. We STOLE a game, let's stop pretending this was some type of quality show of power on our end. cards are pretty well a peer of ours - especially with us going on the road. if we are better its not drastically and when coupled with a west coast trip - its a quality win. not an "omg i cant believe we won that" situation but still a solid win for us.

You just say maybe three times. You have a whole lot of assumptions too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
