strive_for_five_guy Posted October 14 Posted October 14 (edited) On BetMGM, Bills are currently the Super Bowl favorites at +600. Other contenders include: Chiefs +650 Lions +750 Packers +800 Eagles +1000 Is Vegas and the betting public just ignoring the Bills’ last two games? Or are there some reasons we shouldn’t be jumping off any bridges just yet? Edited October 14 by strive_for_five_guy 1 4 1 Quote
Royale with Cheese Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Its because they have seen a pattern pretty much every year with us where we suck for 2-4 games. Like suck. Like losing to the Jags coached by Urban Meyer suck. 2 1 6 2 Quote

Process Posted October 14 Posted October 14 As bad as things seem right now, reality is if we win the next two games we will be in very good position to get the one seed. 3 2 1 Quote

Not playing up to their standard doesn't mean they sucked. They sucked these last two weeks. If were were top 3 in scoring and you suck, that's a pretty good suck. 1 Quote
Success Posted October 14 Posted October 14 I was really impressed with Oliver & Walker yesterday. I think Hoecht will actually be a very big addition, especially against the run. If Hairston plays like a high round pick, I could see the defense being significantly better than what we have seen so far. They won't be elite, but they could crack the top 15, which is what we need. I'm hoping for an add by the deadline in the secondary. On offense, if we can add a WR - in addition to getting Kincaid, Palmer & Samuel back - we can be a 30 PPG team again. Of course, we'd have to stay relatively healthy from there. But if we can, we can still be one of the top 3 teams by the end of this season. Parcells used to say that the season didn't really start until November, or something like that. 1 Quote
Doc Brown Posted October 14 Posted October 14 ESPN power rankings has us at 3. NFL.com has us at 4. CBS has us at 10. The Athletic has us at 14. I'm somewhere between CBS and the Athletic. 1 1 Quote

Royale with Cheese Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Just now, Walking Tall said: Unfortunately, defense is also a thing. Yeah for sure. Having to rely on Ogun, Hairston and Hoecht is not something I wanted to be in position for. We need them badly. But Hairston is also a question mark because he's a rookie. We need safety's badly. I don't know what Rapp does to keep his job. There are big lanes to throw to all the time for some reason. I had the endzone view yesterday and saw it all. It's nuts. I can see read where the ball needs to go to as fast as Pennix sees it. Rapp just is never around the ball and dives at ball carriers, never wraps up. 1 1 Quote

I bolded 2 things the secondary is IMO the most glaring need with the roster health indeed matters a great deal I will as always hope for the very best for our team. GO BILLS 1 1 Quote
colin Posted October 14 Posted October 14 the odds makers (something i've done a bit of myself, altho i admit im a fool for the bills so i let that go most of the time) have a much more sober view than we fans do. the bills have had this near exact pattern, and finished as few as 13 seconds from advancing past kc, who just about every year threatens to get to the super bowl or does get there. they also try to balance their book and change the odds as money comes in, but these kind of bets will most often rely on their model of who is likely to get there. based on all of this, i suspect mcd makes a splash move w the coaches, likely takes over play calling, and at the least screams the riot act to brady. also, some kind of wr or secondary player trade. 1 Quote
ScotSHO Posted October 14 Posted October 14 When they're .500 in November will those odds change? Quote
psuscott16 Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Truth is, there isn't a complete team so far this year. All the top teams have their warts. Fanduel has similar odds - Bills +650: We know our issues GB +700: Lost to Cleveland. Tied Dallas. Lots of injuries to WR. KC +700: Slow start but getting guys back. Defense didn't start strong. Lions +850: Lost to 2 top teams. They at least can destroy the teams they should. Eagles +950: They feel like frauds at times, barely hanging on like Buffalo. Rams +1500: Hot and cold No clear cut powerhouse this year. 2 Quote
Dillenger4 Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Yeah - we aren't coming close to the SB. Lucky to make playoffs. I want to tank and get a good haul in the draft. 1 1 Quote
