Tcali Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Does this suprise anyone either way? no. no surprise. Houston is the better team....but I think the odds will shrink as the week goes by...to BILLS + 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koozyburger Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I think that if Andre Johnson is healthy and plays then the bills will have trouble matching the scoring of the texans. I thought the spread would have been more. Lets hope johnson is still banged up and GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is incredible. Oh well, at least that means we still will have Kelsay, too. Not all is lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 When betting the NFL, home dogs is always a safe bet, especially when that home team is coming off two consecutive road wins. I don't care if its the Bills, Lions, or any other bottom dwelling team. Add to the fact that the Bills are 3-1 all-time against the Texans. I like the Bills getting points at home.

benderbender Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 We shouldn't overlook Owen Daniels. He's a behind the shoulder pass catcher which our D has trouble defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 One 'rule-of-thumb' says to always take the home 'dog with the points - I like that rule this week. Coming off back-to-back road wins, a pumped up RWS crowd goes wild for Fitzpatrick's first home start, as TO finally demonstrates why we signed him...

Magox Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm going to go out on a limb and say that our offense is going to put up over 250 offensive yards and 20 pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Bills are gonna face a QB that is playing well for a change.... If the D gets 2 or more INT's we win. I like to think we can control them on the ground with Whitner or Scoot returning. But we have to score 20 points or more to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Interesting fact for this week: Every single home team, with the exception of the Bills is a favorite. I don't know that I've ever seen this, most the home teams just happen to be the better teams this week. Every home team is at least favored by 3 to 3.5 depending on what sportsbook you look at, with the exception of the Bills. If Andre Johnson is 100% I don't see how the Bills offense can match the Texans offense. With that said the Texans have been a hot and cold team this year, one week they look good the next not so good. Let's not forget they were leading the 49ers at home 21-0, they ended up winning 24-21. They were outscored 21-3 in the 2nd half, and that was at home. If they continue that trend in Buffalo we have a chance to get up on them. The other glimmer of hope for Bills fans is that the Texans thrive in the passing game more than anything else, and this is where our defense has been best. I've been watching Slaton closely this year (he's on my fantasy team) and he's not having as much success as his stats may lead you to believe. He has a low YPC average and goes down pretty easy. Where he is most dangerous is on the screens, so the Bills have to make sure they stop him before he gets a head of steam, because once he gets going he's one of the fastest in the NFL. What scares me the most is Owen Daniels vs. our LB's across the middle. Hopefully the coaches realize none of our LB's have a chance of covering him and use a nickel corner or safety to shadow him all day. If we leave him open across the middle be prepared for Schaub to convert many, many third downs. Getting off the field on third downs, while always important, is critical for us to have a chance to squeak out a win this week. Our defense has had some success versus the upper-echelon QB's this year (Tom Brady & Drew Brees), so I think they will keep Schaub in check. At that point it will be up to our offense to score 24 points to win the game. Do you think they can do that? I think so.....maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zazie Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I never bet against the bills, so I wont bet. But I would give the points this week. Law of averages says we won't have anout 4-5 turnovers this week. And without those mistakes by the opposition, the last couple games are a blow-out...loss by the Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Does this suprise anyone either way? No. The home team usually gets 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartshan-83 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'd definitely lay the points. Unlike the Jets line which was a tempting trap, this one is solid IMO. Our last two wins are weak and unsustainable. You can't put up no offense and be unable to even contain the opposing running game and expect to keep winning. We aren't going to be given 3-6 more INTs each week and unless Fitzpatrick can consistently hit his WRs, TO can consistently catch 3rd down passes and Marshawn can consistently stop juking no one in the backfield, we aren't going to be able to sustain drives. Our defense is in ultimate bend-but-don't-break mode and has relied on bailout INTs to keep points off the board. I'd be thrilled if the offense gets it together and the defense keeps causing turnovers at historic rates. But unless that happens, I'd say Texans by 10, maybe more.

Pete Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Bills have been covering this year and making me money. I took them against New England, against the Jets, against Carolina and against Tampa- all winners. The only time I bet Buffalo and lost was the Cleveland game. I can't figure out what is wrong with the Texans and thought they would be much better. But if Andre Johnson is out, I like us as home dogs.
