In all seriousness, it’s going to be cold, I’d put the receivers outside on the jugs machine and crank them up all week long. They have to be better at catching those lasers when everything is frozen. 

 

The problem is that WR's are like race horses....lean and fast.

 

You don't want anyone coming up lame with a hammy or something a few days before the big game.

A few observatons:

• There is only one catagory where the Pats are better than the Bills (Penalties)
• The Bills are actually a better running team than the Pats .... will never hear that from the talking-heads
• Many categories are close, but the two biggest disparities are Average Yards Per Game and Opp. Average Rushing Yards Per Game - Those are also two of the most important categoiries - Again, about the Talking-Heads, should not the question be: "Can the Pats slow down the BIlls rushing attack?"
• The differences are not huge in any area, but the total is clearly to the Bills advantage.

Eagle is great but Davis ...wooof he's a Homer for Pats.

 

I think it’s easy to label a lot of announcers/commentators “homers for the Pats***” simply because the Pats*** have been so good for so long that you have to talk about and appreciate them (when they aren’t cheating).

 

Davis is fine.  Eagle is an excellent PBP guy.  We could have drawn worse.

Oh look, the point spread has actually moved DOWN to 4 across the board now, including a 3.5 at sharp shop Heritage.  So, looks like all the Bills fans in this thread were wrong about what direction the line would move.

 

I mean, who cares?  We should just stick to talking about football, but IF people are going to chime in about point spreads and market movement, please know what you're talking about when you do.  Thanks!

 

And to be clear, I think our Bills win comfortably and I will have a bet on Bills -3.5, but that is irrelevant to how the point spread will move in this game. 

 

There’s really no need to be condescending.  I’m very aware of how point spreads are determined and markers that trigger movement.  As of right now 53% of the bets and 58% of the money is on Buffalo, which means there is a 5% money edge on the Bills at -4 (i.e., the bigger bets or “sharps” are on the Bills).  Why hasn’t the line moved?  Could be a number of reasons.

 

The game to jump on right now is Philly getting 8.5 at Tampa.

Hurt his foot and couldn't play but Josh did on his 

 

Imagine if he separated his non throwing shoulder like Josh did last year....at least Baker toughed it out this year

lol.  
 

true.  But IMO that comes down the the actual Refing crew for the most part.

It's probably a judgment on my character, but mostly what I feel about this game is dread. 

conditioning from the Brady days...   Allen is the new QB in the division ....   protect the ball, and control their run game we win.

One trick pony haha top 10 in rushing and passing and total defense 🤣our punter is bad but maybe we won’t need to punt again lol

lets hope so our punter is slow to get the ball off and not good...

I keep doing math on my calculator to see if I can do it again.  In the last two months, Christmas, my GF birthday, back surgery and I was just in Buffalo last week….

 

But its the effing playoffs.

I work in a small office of 4 people.  One of the admins in the common area is a big patriots* fan.  I have randomly been playing the Bills shout song all morning from my office.  This will continue for the rest of the week.  I am basically our HR department, and the owner thinks it is amusing, so I should be in the clear.

I think he is watching that first meeting in Orchard Park and the Colts game. I think he is going to run and run and run and be very aggressive about getting turnovers with his defense. I don't think they have any other way of staying in the game.

Are you sure it actually moved down there and didn’t open at -3.5.? Everywhere I’ve looked it’s stayed the same and a random Sportsbook even had us at -6.5.  Probably won’t move much until we get some injury reports…Barmore being out would be huge maybe it moved a little down when they announced his injury wasn’t ligament damage

Yep - and no ST gaffes is key - protect on punts, stay in your lanes, and I'm fine to have Hyde stand back there and fair catch all game

His extension will be more than paid for with the money we won’t be paying Star. 

But I thought he was getting cut for being a bust

I think they need to run less honestly and give mac a bit of a chance to win the game…they are some terrible execution by our offense in the first matchup away from running the clock out on themselves twice in a row.  Colts game we were missing edmunds so we got stuck in the nickel all game and the colts also have one of the best rbs of all time  I don’t think they have any chance duplicating that
