26CornerBlitz Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 PFT’s Week 16 picks Bills at Raiders MDS’s take: The Bills probably won’t make the playoffs even if they win out, but beating the Raiders will clinch Buffalo’s first winning record since 2004. This Bills team is making progress. MDS’s pick: Bills 17, Raiders 10. Florio’s take: By beating the Packers, Doug Marrone may have saved his job for at least a year. He could secure it for the rest of the decade by securing the team’s first playoff berth since 1999. Florio’s pick: Bills 24, Raiders 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Prisco is such a Bills hater and all of his game picks would hurt us in playoff scenarios as well. Hes pretty useless with his analysis someone was re tweeting some of his tweets from when Trestman was hired with the bears last night and it was hilarious. He was saying how great of a match he and Cutler were, Cutler would be MVP and the Bears an SB favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef Jerky Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) What's up with Schefty? He usually would pick the Bills in these matchups... Very big mistake by him this week. Edited December 19, 2014 by Beef Jerky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 The experts may be on to something. You have to remember this is Buffalo and we really haven't shown we are not the same old Bills. The same old Bills go out and get beat 30something to 16. The same old Bills go to NE and are up 20-13 heading in to the 3rd Q and lose 41-16. This game could suck.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 @DonBanks Other than old reliables NE, Indy and Denver in AFC, we know very little yet about the playoff field. Week 16 picks: http://www.si.com/nf...es-predictions Doug Marrone saved Buffalo’s season when he switched quarterbacks from EJ Manuel to Kyle Orton in October, and getting to eight wins with a great shot at a winning record should be plenty enough improvement to earn Marrone a third season on the job. The Raiders have won their past two at home, beating clubs that had winning records at the time (Chiefs and 49ers), so the Bills will have to work to get to 9-6 and stay alive in the AFC wild-card race. But having something to play for in Week 17 hasn’t occurred in Buffalo since 2004, and that Bills defense will get the job done one more time in 2014.

Whack 'Em Williams Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 If we win and other lose this weekend, does the chances go up for the playoffs? Or is it the fact that noone expects BUffalo to beat the Patriots so the chances are stuck at 5%? LOL what a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I don't have any problem with someone picking the Raiders... they've won their last two home games, against teams which match the Bills in talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) I don't have any problem with someone picking the Raiders... they've won their last two home games, against teams which match the Bills in talent. not that I think the Raiders are terrible, I don't. Those two games though are interesting in that the KC game was TNF and I don't put much stock into those outcomes. KC flew out west on a short week and they are a huge rival. Raiders still barely won. SF is another big rival and their offense is worse than the Bills. SF also got zero pressure on Carr in that game. They have some significant injuries going into this game as well. Edited December 19, 2014 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whack 'Em Williams Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Tuel wouldnt handle this team. Defense and ST will take the cake on this matchup. someone was re tweeting some of his tweets from when Trestman was hired with the bears last night and it was hilarious. He was saying how great of a match he and Cutler were, Cutler would be MVP and the Bears an SB favorite. Hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, you don't have to convince me, I just have no problems with "experts" taking a "chance" on the Raiders, due to their recent home history.
