I get risk vs reward in this situation, but this is like jumping over a set of railway tracks with a train 10 feet away to save an extra few seconds. Picking the Browns over the Colts is a better risk vs reward

 

I don't think the loser dies here.

Risk vs. Reward

 

No you would look at what the people did on the middle games (harder to chose) and go against those. You don't make the most unlikely picks.

When you are losing and odds are against you sometimes you need to take chances to win,

 

Or you could proclaim you knew loss was INevitable and brag on how well you saw that in future.

a) so clever with the "IN" there- I'll tell ya that still hasn't gotten old yet- and b) what in the world is your signature about. I thought about it for a minute and I have no idea who you are supporting or what point you are trying to make. And c) I don't understand your post either.

If he's trying to make up ground, why would he pick the Bills in this game where it's highly unlikely they win, it's not like the odds makers have the game close, this would just put him deeper in a hole......

Equate it to going for it on 4th and 30 when you are behind by 14 in the 4th quarter. If you hit it, you still have a chance of winning. If not, you were going to lose anyway.

If the Bills win, Ditka gains one on everyone else. That's the reward.

 

he does love him some good defense!

That actually is a really good point too :)

Yeah Mike!! There you go. You got Moxy. I assume the ESPN is picking with the points?

 

otherwise why the hell is Wickersham picking the NYETS?

No, ESPN is straight up.

Maybe the same reason Ditka is picking the Bills ;)

If the Defense can get a hit on Manning & knock him out of the game, it's on like a mofo. Hopefully it happens before he throws his 3rd TD.

Can anyone say that they are surprised by this? There's a reason they play the games. I've seen the Bills beat teams before when no one gave us a chance. I've also see us lose to teams that we should easily beat.

PFT’s Week 14 picks

Bills at Broncos

 

MDS’s take: The thing I like about the way the Broncos are playing right now is that they can win with defense and the running game: Peyton Manning doesn’t need a big game for Denver to win. On Sunday, I expect the Bills’ great front four to pressure Manning all day, but the Broncos to win anyway, thanks to the defense and the running attack.

 

MDS’s pick: Broncos 28, Bills 20.

 

Florio’s take: Kyle Orton returns to Denver, after Tebowmania gave way to Peyton Manning. The Broncos are simply better in every phase of the game.

 

Florio’s pick: Broncos 42, Bills 20.
