ColoradoBills Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 3 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: This is exactly why shows and sports media outlets have their talent and writers make picks on every game every weekend. Who is going to post things about a show where no one makes a pick every week? It's pretty standard stuff. It's obviously entertainment. Of course it is. There is so many sports shows that the material is so diluted they have to do things to "keep peoples attention". It's why we have "clickbait". Having everyone "pick" the winner helps with the gambling too. Everyone's an expert. I can care less about this stuff and probably shouldn't have even posted, but it's so unimportant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were very fortunate to have won last week against a weak opponent. They have Joe burrow. He smokes cigars. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastport bills Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I love when these dim wits bet against us. This game is ours if we don’t have giveaways. With our crowd and their O-line banged up, I love our chances. Josh always finds a way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dominated them to the tune of a +200 yardage advantage. The Bengals, on the other hand, were actually dominated by the Ravens who outgained them by 130 yards (second straight week that the Bengals failed to clear the 300 total yard mark). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphins had ball at midfield down by 3 My point is that it took a fluke-like performance (multiple turnovers, drops and special teams gaffes) to keep Miami in that game. The Bills dominated the line of scrimmage and were clearly the superior team. The Bengals game was essentially the opposite, with Cincy in the Miami role and just having enough juice to take advantage of the Ravens' errors. Cincy was fortunate that the Ravens handed them the game in the 4th quarter. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good slot receiver, but I wouldn't call him elite. I would say that Taron Johnson is playing elite football the last 2 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is CBS's entire non-football lineup (for example).

Can’t hate on anyone on the outside who picks them in this game, there’s enough objective reasons to justify it. 🤷♂️ Sure, you can make a case for them to win but that is the prevailing thought. The Bills are clearly the better team, almost all advanced stats, the record and the fact that we have Josh Allen and they don't dictate that we should win, hence the oddsmakers making this a 5.5 spread.

H2o Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 It's the same bobbleheads who will try and feed to the mentally challenged that Josh Allen has regressed or is somehow a bad QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
