The Bills Are Seven Point Dogs in Week 1


Recommended Posts

Good....fine.....let the whole NFL sleep on the Bills and then, BAM! Smacked right in the mouth....somewhere in the middle of the season, there will be talking points and discussions by the pundits and "experts" about the Bills over-achieving when all the fans will simply say, "You have to trust the process".

Everyone says "the browns are going to be so much better this year!!!"

 

1. No ****, nowhere to go but up.

2. I look at their schedule, and regardless of who's at QB (or HC), I'm not sure I see them winning more than 5 games at best.

Really? The Ravens are not that good. They are one of the easier teams on our schedule. It will be tough to get the win with a rookie QB on the road but our D should shut that offence down. It will probably be a close game decided by a field goal. If we stop their running game we will win.

They opened up there last year as well..only gave 7..i remember cause i hammered the Brownies on the moneyline..and they lost by 3...should have taken that as an omen and closed up shop for the year?

It makes sense.  Look, you normally get three points for being the home team.  So, really, the odds are just saying the Ravens are three points better.  Now, both teams finished 9-7 last year, with Buffalo edging them out of the playoff spot based on strength of victory tiebreaker.  Since then, Buffalo lost talent on the offensive line.  Worse, our starting QB is either going to be a second-year player who threw five picks in a half, or a rookie that hasn't played a regular-season game yet.  Considering all that, I think it's fair that the Ravens are six-point favorites.  Don't get me wrong, I think Buffalo is actually the better team and might just win it...but from a neutral standpoint setting odds, it's really not that outrageous a line.

Which D are you talking about?  The one that got run over in the first quarter against Cleveland, or something else?
