thewildrabbit Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Found this article, thought some of you would like to offer an opinion on it. The complete schedule and odds are with the link. "We’re 17 weeks away from the kickoff of the NFL regular season, but the games have already begun in Las Vegas." "The Patriots are not an underdog in any game, but three of their games opened pick 'em." http://linemakers.sp...ts-books-cantor Las Vegas odds are giving the Buffalo Bills 3 wins this year, and a pickem against the Dolphins... Week one, -7 New England at Buffalo Week two,- 1 Carolina at Buffalo Week three, Buffalo at NY Jets -3.5 Week four, -4 Baltimore at Buffalo Week five, Buffalo at Cleveland -1.5 Week six, -2.5 Cincinnati at Buffalo Week seven, Buffalo at Miami -4 Week eight, Buffalo at New Orleans -6.5 Week nine, Kansas at Buffalo -1.5 Week ten, Buffalo at Pittsburgh -7 Week eleven, New York Jets at Buffalo -1.5 Week twelve, bye week Week thirteen, -3 Atlanta vs Buffalo in Toronto Week fourteen, Buffalo at Tampa Bay -3 Week fifteen, -1 Buffalo at Jacksonville Week sixteen, Miami at Buffalo pickem Week seventeen, Buffalo at New England Wins, KC, Jets,Jags and maybe Fins. Although, I don't see the Chiefs as a pushover anymore, not with Andy Reid as HC Obviously these odds change as teams win or lose throughout the season. Edited May 8, 2013 by FeartheLosing
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) When was the last time the Bills lost to KC?! more than I care to recall. Edited May 8, 2013 by Buffalo Barbarian
Estro Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I think Vegas will set the Bills over/under on total wins in the regular season at 5 or 5 and a half. If its set at 5 the over bet will be -125. If its set at 5.5 the under will be set at -130. Personally I think its a good year to bet with the Bills. Expectations are down. National media hype is down. I think the coaching changes and culture change at 1 Bills Drive will account for at least 1-2 additional wins this season. I expect this to be a team that looks better in quarters 3 and 4 than they did in the 1st half, which is the exact opposite of what they were under Gailey. Still not a playoff team, but a 6-8 win team depending on how the ball bounces. Either way they will be a very solid bet for the over on season wins this year. Take that one to the bank.

We can only hope this coaching staff lives up to expectations this season. The world thought Dave Wannstedt would bring respectability to a bad defense under George Edwards, he didn't. In fact, he was far worse then Edwards was while trying to implement a 3-4 with mostly 4-3 players. Wannstedt was the biggest mistake Chan Gailey made. If Gailey finds a better DC he might still be with Buffalo. Gailey built his offense on a backup QB, and never saw past Fitz at all. The current QB's on the roster are way better then Fitz, or should be. Fitz 23-41-1 career, 0-3 at St Louis, 4-7 at Cincy, 19-31 in Buffalo. Kolb 9-12 career, 3-4 at Philly. 6-8 at Arizona. Jackson 17-17, career. 10-10 at Minn, 7-7 at Sea. However Tavaris Jackson played his worst when the game was on the line, and that was a big reason the Seahawks traded him away. So, even if EJ starts, I expect this season to be filled with growing pains ...in every area. Edited May 8, 2013 by FeartheLosing
UConn James Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Hate to say it, but 3-13 sounds 'bout right given the givens.
eball Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Ahh, here we go, the first "Vegas odds" post of the season and resulting misunderstandings about what these numbers mean. It's like clockwork.
Coach55 Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I am looking for a gold in the long jump, the 4x100 relay and possibly the shot put...
1billsfan Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 New head coach, new offensive coordinator, new defensive coordinator, new QBs, new WRs, new LBs. That's a whole lot of changes. To me, the Bills are a complete unknown as far as predicting a record.
Chandler#81 Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 We only play New England once?? That's a schedule I can live with..
Offside Number 76 Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Let's see where Vegas sets the over-under for wins. THAT's where Vegas has predicted that most people will slot the Bills for number of wins.
4merper4mer Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 we should still draft Manziel if possible. They liked Manuel and that is why they picked him over chancing it in the courts with Manziel. I think they are sold on Manuel and one year down the road they will stick with him.
K D Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I'll take these odds and make some $. No matter how bad we are, we still seem to win at least 5-6 games
Canadian Bills Fan Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 They also predicted the Jays to win the World Series and that doesnt seem to be going that well for Toronto. Odds dont mean anything CBF
CodeMonkey Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Any true Billievers who are also gamblers will probably jump on these two if they can get someone to take bets now. Week three, Buffalo at NY Jets -3.5 Week seven, Buffalo at Miami -4
Luxy312 Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 This post completely misstates the NFL odds. The over/under for Buffalo is 7.5 right now. Weekly odds don't matter or suggest that upsets won't happen. Just stupid. http://www.examiner.com/article/nfl-over-under-win-total-projections-for-the-2013-season-detroit-lions-at-7
DDD Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Probably another 4-6 win season. If Kolb has a great year they could get 7.
Luxy312 Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Also, just for the naysayers, the opening line for the Bills in Vegas in terms of the over/under was 6 games. Post draft, it's 7.5. That is a boatload of movement. Not saying it's warranted and certainly the games need to be played before we know anything, but that tells you where the money is going.
McD Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Make your bets now. Those odds will change before the regular season begins.
