Not saying they are right but we have a bunch of question marks going into the off-season.  After the draft and FA I'd expect that number to move (not sure if it will be up or down though).

I don’t find the number insulting. The Bills had a minus 57 point differential this year. 9 wins is a credit to them. They managed to win games when they had the chance. 

 

They also will look look a lot different this year. I suspect that number can move quite a bit in either direction depending on what happens this offseason.

Look back at their predictions.  Almost every single year it is the Bills previous year's win total minus two.  Don't forget to add one for the Jets, two for the fish and the Pats are projected at 16.

Also remember, this forecast was Vegas oriented.

 

Bookies make a line that tries to get equal numbers of people betting each side. Bookies then make money on the transaction cost.

 

In different words: Vegas odds are what the bookies think the betting pool will think. In the end, Vegas odds are usually close to the truth, but sometimes they can be skewed by popular and unpopular teams.

 

I hope I made sense there.

Well to be fair... we have a fluid situation next year. Outside of safety, there is no position on the team that we dont need more talent in and could benefit from a change in. In my opinion, there arent too many teams with the dearth of talent that Bills have.

It's pretty meaningless at this point where many teams have questionmarks at key positions.

 

It's likely based on 1) the Bills lack a QB 2) the Bills have historically lacked willingness to take enough shots and put in enough investment to fix 1)

We overachieved for our current roster.
