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...

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...

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...

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.

Buffalo Ballin Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Media may seem that they are favoring Cincinnati Bengals because the ones choosing Bengals are the most vocal. They make the most noise. Also, they're trying to garner clicks and ratings for their show; whatever they're on. The more noise they make, the more likely all that noise for Bengals gonna back fire.

RoyBatty is alive Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 1 hour ago, Success said: Every narrative I read now is "bumbling Allen." The Bills COULD win, but our many turnovers will result in a loss. Give me a break. He was perfect in the postseason last year. The team got all of their mistakes out of the way against Miami. I'm not usually one to be over-confident, but I don't think this one is particularly close, especially w/ Cincy's O-line situation. We're going to look like we did for some of those games in September & October. The narrative about a bumbling Allen is correct, sorry, I know it is a bummer but it is real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is it the case that every time he throws an interception, we're right back to he's regressing and playing like his rookie year again (when he had absolutely nothing on offense) ? Or is this really based on the Miami game, because the week before against the Patriots nobody seemed to have a problem with the deep balls? So really, what we have is, he better play perfect. Checkdowns, mixed with deep shots, need him to run, but also slide, need him to not get conservative, but we need to score 30+ as well to make ourselves feel good.
