Week 16, Bills v. WVs - Predict the Score


Freddie's Dead

Recommended Posts

Gotta believe the Bills will take care of business in LA. I can't fathom a loss here. 

 

Bills are flat out the better team by a wide margin. It would have to be a colossal failure on all levels not to win. 

 

This team looks focused. I believe they are not looking ahead and taking it over game at a time. 

 

Cook continues to run well. Depleted Charger offense will struggle vs Bills defense. 

 

Bills 28

LA 13

Bills also haven't defeated the Chargers on the road since the 80's, or at least I heard that somewhere & am too lazy to confirm 😅

San Diego/LA has been a house of horrors for the Bills. I believe we haven't beaten the Chargers on the road since 1981

 

 

Your posts made me look it up. Yep, we haven't won at San Diego/LA since the Ferguson years in 1981 (we won there back-to-back in 1980 and 1981). I was quite shocked. But we've only played them at their place six times since. Jim Kelly never even faced the Chargers when he was here from 1986-1996. Neither has Josh on the road there. The good news is we've only lost once at their place since they moved to Los Angeles: in 2017, pre-Josh.

I put togther my own list of +s and -s for the Bills vs. the Chargers to determine a way to better calculate the results. As I see it (and note my eyesight at 74 is rapidly diminishing) the Chargers in the + category have a new coach, coming off humilating loss, home team (sorta), a decent running back, no icky mascot, and better looking cheerleaders (oh wait neither they or the Bills have cheerleaders-ok I'll amend that when they did have cheerleaders they were better looking - yes my misogeny knows no bounds.) In the minus category they are a really bad football team.

 

On the + side for the Bills : they have to win or they are toast, the O and D are really clicking, most of the fans at this game will probably be rooting for the Bills. On the negative side its a road trip and the Bills have demonstrated any trip over 3 hrs is bad for their pysche, short week compared to Chargers, Bills special teams, Bass doesn't seem right this season, Martin never has seemed right, Bills "non-prevent" defense in last two minutes of game, and of course Billy Buffalo.

 

prediction: 49-18    why - part of my birth date - there simply is no logical approach to this game that has the Chargers  winning. I do however hope they bring back the cheerleaders next season-an old man can dream.

Wyverns, I guess.   Be careful of tail.

 

Bills: 30

Bolts: 2

Wyvern can also be characterized as an envious 2-legged dragon, which would fit the Bolts fairly well (only 2 legs = missing key players)??
