Thank God we are not still talking about that because the season and division are already lost to the cheats*. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) They're giving us a 46% chance of winning this week - better odds than in some other corners. But their historic ELO rankings don't do Buffalo justice, IMHO. Buffalo attained its highest ELO of 1705 rating in 1991. Even the undefeated Buffalo All-Americans and the AFL championship Bills never surpassed an ELO of 1700. Most NFL teams have a year (or several) where their ELO ranking was higher than the Bill all-time high of 1705. What the Bills attained under Levy, Kelly, Smith & Company wasn't particularly special according to 538. A good team - maybe a very good team - but not a great one. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/complete-history-of-the-nfl/ Edited November 5, 2020 by hondo in seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 These guys at 538 are the kiss of death. Can't trust any of their numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
