And the Giants once

Jests twice, fish twice, Redskins and Giants.  That should be at least 4 wins right there.  Bengals at home too.

 

 I like the over, but the bet is really a referendum on Josh Allen.  If you think he’s good, the over is a very tempting bet, but if you don’t....

Vegas is usually spot on. we have to be realistic we will win between 4 and 7. Last year ours was 5.5 and people thought Vegas was nuts because we just made playoffs. fact is we didnt add much on fofense, have old rb's a terrible line and as far as wr's and TE's we are in the bottom 5 for weapons for allen. Defense is solid but dont even have multiple pro bowl/all pros like other teams have

I think fans had the same reaction last year.  Until the Bills prove otherwise, 6-10 is a good bet for this team.

 

made playoffs year prior and then vegas put us at 5.5 and people thought vegas was nuts, they are always very spot on for the most part, do it for a living and were right on the money last year

The Josh Allen effect

 

2016 at Wyoming
8 wins

4 losses by 3 points

 

2017 at Wyoming

 

8 wins in 11 games

 

Kid's a winner

 

I like Allen but for one they played crap teams and winning in college means literally nothing. Matt Leinart, Brady Quinn Jamesis Winston, etc were all winners in college to more so then Allen.

That said Allen will be great, we just really need to surround him with players in the draft, for weapons we are in the bottom 5 of the league especially at TE and RB

All depends on Josh Allen.If he sucks we win 6.If he is great we win 10.

 

I think it will be a given Allen will be solid. it will come down to our suspect offensive line and lack of running game and not the best weapons around him. draft is essential

Does anyone know what sites this bet is available on? I checked Bovada, but they seem to just have superbowl futures right now.

Hammer the over, we got 6 wins with Peterman, Anderson and Barkley starting 4 games last year lol.

Because if he bet where his heart is as a Bills fan, he'd be broke in 10 minutes.

 

:lol:

 

Which is why I don’t bet.

 

Although..... the last time i bet Large ($500) was in ‘88, following the 7-8, Strike shortened season, that the Bills would be in the playoffs. I sweated it for 7 months.

Bills beat Jets in OT to go to 11-1 and win the AFCE! 

 

I’m kind of feeling the same way with this offer. Maybe a hunny..

I’m not sure the dolphins are even fielding a team this year so I think we be good

I dont think thats a given at all. Judgment and accuracy arent minor fixes.

Don't disagree.

 

Outside of Morse the guys they signed are pretty average at their respective positions. 

 

The team lacks star players as it stands right now. 

Yes, Morse was only above average signing.  Now if you have a team with 2-3 stars then that is fine,  right now this team has no stars.  Fans are drinking the koolaid,  i saw this with Levy.

All of those guys played at blue blood programs. I think it's overrated too for the most part except in these instances. Allen was surrounded with nothing and turned his program into a winning one the two years he played. Look at Wyoming's record before he got there.

A lot rides on Allen.

 

Still think they need to help him out at reciever more, but if he is successful the team in all likelihood will be as well.

 

This.

People get too caught up in deciding that he's tribe, or that he's the best thing since sliced bread.

There's a lot in between there.

If he becomes an above average QB then they are a 8-10 win roster right now I believe.

If he becomes a second year stud (like Goff or wentz did) then they are 10-12 wins I believe.

If he's barely average this season then they are probably 6-8.

If he sucks then they're a dumpster fire.

 

Either way this isn't a make or break year for him as a career, but it would be very encouraging for him to build on the end of last season and how well he played.

Like I'm sure others have stated here, Vegas odds are a good indicator of where the team stands.

 

The moves don't matter much. It all comes down to coaching and QB play.

This is a easy 500$ bet

 

It's the Bills, they'll start off 4-1, then Allen will be put out for the year and will finish 5-11.

There is plenty of guys who do that tho lol. Look at Paxston Lynch, Blake Bortles, Blaine Gabbert,Brock Owsweiller etc. Im just saying winning at college on any level literally meanings nothing. Its not as if he led them to any upsets at all. and I love allen just making the point in this specific topic

Bills have moved up to 6.5 everywhere I've seen

 

I’d expect that to keep climbing a bit, but I’m biased.

Sorry. I feel Vegas under-predicts by the Bills by 2 games. Probably because non-Bills followers assume we suck. I would bet money on the over if they are saying 4 wins. We got six with what roster?

 

You mean how they set the over-under at 6 wins last year, and then they won ... 6 games?

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2018-nfl-win-totals-predictions-vegas-expert-picks-over-6-for-arizona-cardinals/

Sure, the Vegas preseason line was off by a couple games in 2017, but there's nothing that suggests some kind of systematic underrating of the Bills. And as everyone who understands Vegas lines has already mentioned, the over-under isn't so much a "prediction" as it's an attempt to set a number that will generate 50% of the betting on either side.

My simple formula is always this:  take last year's record, regress it 50% toward the mean (8 wins) ... there's your projection. For the Bills, that would be 7-9. I did a kind of quick and dirty test of this a few seasons ago, and I found it more accurate than any betting lines or "expert" predictions.
