C.Biscuit97 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Bills O6.5 - Under - I think we are a 4 win team because of who we've lost, who we've replaced them with and mostly, who we've kept (QB). Browns O4.5 - Agree Indianapolis O8.5 - Under - This is just a gut feeling of mine. I, too, think Luck is the real deal. I just have a feeling that things around him will crumble. Houston O8 - Under - They're gonna miss Wade and I think Watt retires mid-season due to another back injury. KC U9 - Agree. Detroit O7.5 - Agree. Carolina O9 - Agree. Tampa O8 - .Agree. SF U5 - Agree. Houston didn't have Wade the last couple of years and were the #1 defense basically without Watt. Denver 8.0- under Houston 8.0- under Cincy 8.5- under I can't get a feel on Denver and Cincy. If Denver gets any decent qb and running back play, they will be tough. Cincy also had a ton of losses last year so I'm not sure if they are bad or just had a bad year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Houston didn't have Wade the last couple of years and were the #1 defense basically without Watt. Yea Wade hasn't been there for 3 years now. I think he might be mistaking Wade with Romeo Crennel who has been their DC (and has a very good record as a DC in the league) who "stepped down" in the offseason to ensure they could keep Mike Vrabel by promoting him. Crennel is now Assistant Head Coach and Defensive consultant though so I imagine he is still having plenty of input and Vrabel played in Crennel's defense for the Patriots so I doubt you will see huge scheme change.

I can see Vrabel being a head coach one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I can see Vrabel being a head coach one day. I can see him being one next year. He interviewed in San Fran this time I think..... If he coordinates a top 5 defense this year and the Texans go to the playoffs he will be one of the hot candidates next January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottebillsfan2 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Bills - Over Charges 7.5 - under Cowboys 9.5 under Panthers 9 - under New England 12.5, I like the under at 12-4 and you still win. Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Bills O6.5 - safest bet in sports. We win enough games to not be terrible and to never draft high enough for a stud qb. The Bills winning 7 games this season is the safest bet in sports? Is this sarcasm relating to the 18 years of mediocrity? Because if not, in my mind at least right now the Bills are a 7-9 win team. But with who they lost, Shady a year older, and an entirely new coaching staff (with a lot of them doing their current job for the first time ever), less than 7 wins is very possible.

Sounds good to me. Panthers under 8.5 is + 145, i like that bet BTW, the Jets under 4.5 is MINUS $200...everybody and their brother betting that, using a strong indication to bet the other way.

Without doing the research, I would bet we have averaged 7 wins per season during the drought. We aren't good, we aren't terrible, we are slightly below average.

boyst Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 You completely missed the point of the thread. I am shocked you didn't like the Carolina pick!!! it's nice with Carolina. I am a fan by default. Keeping up with them whether I want to or not because locality. I want them to succeed because j like seeing things work. I am arguably more honest on them than I am buffalo because I allow myself to see the faults. Once Olsen retires they're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 It's so kind of the NFL to allow the Bills to win 7 games every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Would it be legal to set up a betting pool where TBDers can back up their predictions with a friendly wager? Doesn't have to be be big money. $10-20 on how many wins the Bills finish with. Winners split the pool evenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
