Tenhigh Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 To me the 10.5 point underdog is a joke, this is a MUCH closer game then most people believe. http://www.cbssports...rs/expert/picks A few facts The Broncos managed a 3 point victory over the Dolphins on November 23rd. The Broncos lost to the Rams 22-7 on November 16th. Yep, the freaking Rams The Patriots are a great team but spanked the Broncos 43-21 on Nov 2nd ??? It's only my opinion but Buffalo has the best defense the Broncos will face ALL season. I believe this is a very close game...... My upset special for this week Buffalo 28 Broncos 24 -- 9.3333333 field goals in one game is almost to much to ask of any kicker. Our D better score a few TDs......

Lofton80 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Not sure Bills can run the ball. The up the middle stuff into Pears backside won't work. It falls on Orton. He has to make a difference in a positive way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) It's also 10.5 because the Broncos have Peyton Manning. well that too, but, as I asked somewhere before ... What is Peyton's record against top notch defenses? is it me or did the thread title change? So by saying the Bronco win is "imminent," are you somehow implying that they are unbeatable? LOL rolling the 8 ball..... one of them has to be right Signs point to yes. Yes. Reply hazy, try again. Concentrate and ask again. Outlook not so good. Very doubtful. Yes - definitely. Ask again later. Edited December 3, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 It's also 10.5 because the Broncos have Peyton Manning. It's 10.5 because no one will bet on Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 It's 10.5 because no one will bet on Buffalo. And no one will bet on Buffalo (can't score TDs) because Payton Manning is the QB of the opposing team (scores touchdowns as a team hobby).

Mr. WEO Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Broncos were only 1.5 point favorite against the Chiefs, a team that scores 1 more PPG than the Bills. Broncos were only a 9 point favorite agaisnt the Rams, who score less than the Bills. Broncos were a 4 point dog against the Seahawks, a team that scores fewer than 3 more PPG than the Bills.

Dorkington Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 We have like a 15% chance of winning, in my eyes. Not impossible to win, but improbable. And thats why they play the games, if things go "normal" on both sides, Broncos win. But if they stink it up, or we play lights out, anything can happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vorpma Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 The Bills get a clinic on how a playoff team conducts business in December, by 17 points! I agree any team can beat any given team on any given Sunday, and if the Bills win will be more than happy to eat crow. But by the time Christmas hits, this board will be alive with discussions and debates regarding the 2015 season - and the focus will not be playoff opponents in January.

As you know, and I think have stated, the only reason the point spread is what it is is to get people who don't know the Bills to bet on the Bills. Until the Bills win a meaningful game they shouldn't get the benefit of the doubt by Joe Fan from Anyplace, USA who doesn't closely follow the team.

Um, the Chiefs & Seahawks games were road games. Also, the Bills' scoring is completely inflated by one team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, the Chiefs & Seahawks games were road games. Also, the Bills' scoring is completely inflated by one team. So if the game was in Buffalo, it would be 8 points? Still much higher than Denver's line against the Chiefs, who the Broncos had already beaten earlier in the year. So it's not just about P Manning.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Nothing's a given when you have the team that's scored the second most points playing the team that's allowed the second least amount of points. The keys will be pressure, pressure, pressure on Manning and a decent game by our corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I think this is a game we could steal. Denver is the better team not doubt, purely just having number 18 will do that. The Defense is certainly good enough to win. The broncos lately ave gone to a running offense with Cj Anderson and the Bills can stop the run. Surprisingly the best chance the Bills have is to make a future HOF QB throw 50 times. Our pass rush should be able to disrupt a few passes and we can maybe pull out a few turnovers. Not impossible The problem is our offense is a joke. I hope KO decides to make John Fox feel bad about dumping him for a college football analyst and plays well because otherwise we won't score 13 points against that defense That strategy might work if they also put Payton on his back with the ball about 6-8 times....especially if they can do that early...and get him "hearing footsteps".

die hard bills fan Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I think weather conditions could affect the game as Manning doesn't play as well in the snow and cold but the forecast for the game is sunny and in the 50's. No sure if this hurts he bills more than helps the. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Forget the hard time beating elite QBs argument: our games vs KC and Miami make me worry we can't beat a decent team who can put up more than 17 points on us. Seriously, a TD in each half and a random FG shouldn't be asking a lot of an offense and we haven't even been able to put these numbers up in several very winnable games. Those two losses likely keep us out of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My upset special for this week Buffalo 28 Broncos 24 -- Bills, on offense, has to be physical and run the ball! Particularly at Von Miller. Not with sweeps, but between the tackles. Lots of Boobie, Bryce and FredEx. Running the ball will open up the playaction passing game. Have to utilize new acquisition, M. Gray in the PA game. The hell with S.Chandler. Orton has to be precise with quick passes to WRs. Only way Bills win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
