Kemp2Warlick Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Mike Triplett @MikeTriplett2m Colleague @MikeRodak and I break down this week's game in Double Coverage: #Bills at #Saints http://espn.go.com/blog/new-orleans-saints/post/_/id/1394/double-coverage-bills-at-saints … Retweeted by Mike Rodak
Kemp2Warlick Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 Tough game...Ed Werder @Edwerderespn13m Tom Brady has one touchdown pass in his last three games combined _ came in final five seconds against Saints. Nearly shutout three straight...
Big C Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I hope we keep it closer than everyone is saying. Vegas has the spread at 7.5 and pretty much every prediction I'm seeing has the saints cover easily.

Kemp2Warlick Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 the spread is Bills +11 at Ceasers-Hilton

Big C Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Weird. I was looking at this today: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/features/writers/expert/picks and it says 7.5. What line is this?

widerightradio Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Rodak's been poor at predicting Bills games this year: Patriots 35, Bills 24 Panthers 21, Bills 17 Jets 17, Bills 14 Ravens 24, Bills 14 Bills 21, Browns 17 Bengals 24, Bills 9 Dolphins 24, Bills 21 He's 3-4 straight up, not to mention predicting a team that he's covering for the first time to go 1-7. I'm not arguing for naivete, but a bit of optimism for a team that's your sole beat is a good thing. No sense in making enemies out of fans in the first 8 weeks of the season. Maybe it's a good thing he's picking the Saints in this one. He's been wrong 4 times before. Edited October 25, 2013 by widerightradio

Homey D. Clown Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 This game is going to be hard to watch, simply because it really has the potential to be a massacre, or an agonizing loss. We simply aren't healthy enough on the offensive side of the ball to really be competitive. I hope I am wrong, but my gut tells me this is one of those games I need to read about monday morning, rather than live through.

Kemp2Warlick Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 more Rodak.....Mike Rodak @mikerodak9m Mario Williams has 10 sacks through 7 games, but has he met expectations? http://es.pn/1dqUQFM

These were all pretty reasonable predictions at the time, but now he has a body of work to draw from. The fact of the matter is that the one constant has been that the Bills have been in every game this year. If you want to make a likely prediction, it's going to be that this game is going to be a close one too. You would have to be crazy to put money on the Bills not covering an 11-point spread. It's a scrappy team; we're going to find a way to stay in this one.

Very true. But it's similar to how you can pick on your little brother, but no one else can. On 10/25/2013 at 3:03 PM, JR in Pittsburgh said: Ouch.

We have to keep the ball out of the Saints hands, (run, short passes, etc), and then get the ball back quickly.
