Adam Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I think we can really pound the Jets w/the run. If we can be somewhat efficient in the passing game, I think we can win by quite a bit- Testaverde aint what he used to be, and I think we'll take the ball away quite a few times.

I can't see Vinny doing much but the Jets are capable of beating us based on the first two things I mentioned. It's certainly a winnable game, and is a must win if we want to make anything of our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After, I gotta say it makes me a little nervous, as I do think Tampa's defense is better than ours. I wonder how the odds-makers will call it. Here's hoping for 3-3.

Here's hoping for 3-3. 471305[/snapback] My guess would be Bills -3.5 After the TB win the Jets have about as much creditability as the Dolphins in the Publics mind. Factor in Holcomb getting the Win and it should boost the line up a point or so from the Dolphins game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 It obviously is a must win against a division opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we are favored by 4 instead, it means we are being given a tiny bit of additional respect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a really strong home team, or public team, you might see that figure raise a little, visa versa with a weak team. You also need to remember that the books job is not to accurately predict the outcome of the game; it's to predict what the public feels the outcome of the game will be. Public perception for both the Jets and Bills went up this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Bill Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 It obviously is a must win against a division opponent. 471312[/snapback] For sure! At a bare minimum we need to win ALL our home games in division. We have not yet shown an ability to win on the road (here's hoping that changes). I think this week's victory will give us something to build on and we will take down the Jets next weekend. Let's hope it's not a nail biter!!

Here's hoping for 3-3. 471305[/snapback] The Jets game was in New YorkThe same place that they Beat Miami 3 weeks ago We better be nervous as it is a division game ,after the way the bills played in the second half I wouldn't bank on anything....Same problems as the first 4 games....this defence plays o.k. with a lead but not to good from behind they are over rated .....Jerry Gray is a river boat gambler and vinny can still make them pay the dealer,,,,it will be another nail biter,,,if the ref had ruled that fumble down on contact the game may have gone the other way it was that close!!!!!

We have Willis MaGahee, and will win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
