Makes sense.
True, but if Vegas knows something I'm sure the Bills intel would too. Maybe Vegas is just guessing as of now. Who knows. Seems like an awfully telling spread though.
The spread in that Cleveland Pitt game has the Browns as 6.5 point faves. Tells me Vegas is thinking Pitt is resting their starters next week. Not sure how they know that...
Hmm... Browns are 6.5 pt faves next week against Pitt. That tells me Vegas thinks Pitt is resting their starters. If we beat NE, I'd have to think we'd do the same? Should be interesting.
I disagree. Again, double edged sword but indy wins and probably other crap needs to happen, but our backups lose to Miami and we play the phins in round 1. There's literally so many scenarios though. Of course predicated on the Bills winning MNF.
Yeah, that's true. I'm not sure i, or especially the players quantify it as a loss if the backups are in. But I guess I could see both sides. Man, injuries could eff us bad though. Its a double sided sword. If 2 is wrapped up u rest the starters.
Because it's what good teams do. Injuries/rest are more important this time of year. Would you pass on a round 1 bye for the sake of momemtum/good juju?
200%. If there is nothing to play for, starters don't play. Biggest thing now is Steelers to lose. Let things shake out so we don't have any injuries week 17.
