That's what I found interesting about the CBS picks. Almost all expect the Bills to win, but almost none expect them to cover.

Yes Pete Prisco is only one who who expects us to win by a TD and extra point or more. This may be partly due to Buffalo's tendency to play prevent defense with lead which will cost points and sometimes prevents a win.

Cruz suffered setback. He's probably out.

 

Still I don't like Sammy and McCoy not playing.

No one does more than Sammy and Lesean i bet.

But Roman will find other threats. Harvin will will be doubled or worse, and Gnats will try to stop Williams at the line.

 

any one think Easley sees some reps? Hogan looked good coming in last week. great blocking by the WRS against Miami.

Tosses to Gragg? Running by Felton?

I might expect we finally see ground and pound. and 4 TE sets. The O line might be ready now.

Defense wins this one. Our defense btw

Man I hope the Oline shows up this week. We need Williams to go off and take the heat off the passing game.

The point is that team plays prevent defense when ahead allowing opponent to get points after being down hence why the "experts" are predicting a Bills' win but Giants will beat the spread.

 

ESPN: Picks not in yet. (http://espn.go.com/nfl/picks)

 

5 of 7 who have currently picked are picking Bills; rest are posting click bait articles and then will decide.
