eball Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 All ridiculousness aside, a legitimate o/u for Houston's rushing yards is probably around 150 -- slightly better than their average YTD to account for Buffalo's shoddy play. I'll take the under -- I do believe the Bills have some pride and the bye week will have helped. Houston should still win the game because their defense will force Fitz into a couple of stupid turnovers, but it will be closer than most expect.

benderbender Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I've got Foster on my fantasy league. I might as well sit everyone else and start him alone. Championship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'm telling you, guys, this is the NFL. Just when you think there's a no-brainer out there, something happens. Look at Atlanta v. Oakland three weeks ago, the Jets at NE* two weeks ago, or Jacksonville v. Green Bay last week. All were the biggest spreads of the weekend; two went to OT and Jax had the ball down six with 3:00 to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattsox Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'm putting 217.5 out there. The Texans will Break a franchise Record in Yards and Points scored from Line of Scrimmage. OK maybe over doing it, but I'm sure Texan Fans will have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I don't see Schaub going off since they will most likely have a secure lead by half way through the 2nd quarter, and will be running 70% of snaps. Defense doesn't allow a big one necessarily, but just spend too much time on the field and swoon towards the end. Longest run of the day allowed is 23 yards. 255 passing yards allowed, 170 rushing yards allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan714 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) This defense is a record setter. I say Foster goes for 220 and Forsett gets 80 in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Schaub throws for 300 yards. The receivers get over 200 and the TEs and RBS get the other hundred. Football historians are left to scramble for 1800s club team records the Bills are then breaking.

bananathumb Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 They may evoke the Mercy Rule for the first time in the NFL. You know, the rule in Slow Pitch where they call a game if one team has too many runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Avenger Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I see this game getting ugly real fast. Houston knows Mario's weakness and will exploit it. I see Houston running for 250 and another 350 in the air. The only chance we have is to start fast and get a few breaks. Please Chan I am begging, do not defer and give Houston the ball to start. I think we all know Marios weaknesses by now: -Signing a huge contract -Having no fire to play -Being handled by rookie and no-name offensive linemen in single coverage -Making up excuses fro lack for production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damj Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'll take the over ... over whatever anyone of you pick. I'm starting Foster, Tate & Forsett this week in my fantasy league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloFan68 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'll take the over. I predict another 500 + day against the Bills D and another game of giving up over 32 points. I wish they would have fired Wanny already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 300+ yards for me. I can already hear Chan telling the reporters that except for those 3 long runs of 80 yards apiece the defense held them to 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm telling you, guys, this is the NFL. Just when you think there's a no-brainer out there, something happens. Look at Atlanta v. Oakland three weeks ago, the Jets at NE* two weeks ago, or Jacksonville v. Green Bay last week. All were the biggest spreads of the weekend; two went to OT and Jax had the ball down six with 3:00 to go. I was thinking the same thing. The Bills have had 2 weeks to come up with a game plan to stop the Texans. 2 Weeks. Plus you have Kelsay calling Mario Williams a girl. The Houston Newspapers saying Mario sucked. Questions about Dareus and even the great Kyle Williams. What ever it is, I expect you'll get the best possible Bills effort on Sunday. If that defense doesn't show a pair this weekend, they never will. Predictions? If Fitz can be unFitz-like and protect the ball. If the Bills can stay even on time of possession. And if the Bills get 1 special teams play, I could see this game being within 7 points with similar yardage for both teams. The better money has Fitz giving up 2 bad ones, the D not being able to get off the field and McKelvin's punt return TD meaningless.....but I see eball's point.

They would have pulled that out when the '09 Pats were running up the score on everyone had there been a time for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggieScooby Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 BiggieScooby marked down as "under". lol They won't go past 94. Wannstedt puts 8 in the box and gives Moore & Carrington big PT. We will get shredded thru the air but that beats getting run over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
