7-8 is not "well below .500"

Bills will win by 1 point. 28-27

so at least Bengals fans will walk away happy.

Vegas has loved the Bills all year…their record vs the spread is well below .500 despite being 12-3

 

It's unrealistic to think the Bills will blow teams out every week, but Vegas is simply showing the amount of respect they have for them in that they expect them to almost every game.

Same way the garbage time points for other teams probably helped them win versus the spread too.

Bengals as a dog is free money.

Did Jordan Phillips leave the game with a shoulder injury yesterday?

Yes

Then might as well bet your life savings on it. Most people said that about the Chiefs game earlier this year. How'd that turn out?

 

Bills seem to have the capability to play as good as they need to in order to win key games.

I could care less who it was, or what happened last week, or two hands etc…

 

I just ask, if there were no fumble, why would it be placed at the 5. Cause we all know it would have. You can’t have forward progress stopped and then allow the defense to push the player 4 yards back and punch the ball.

 

We would all be beyond pisssed off if that happened to Buffalo.

What if he was pushed back and broke free before the whistle and scored a TD? There is a reason you don't blow the whistle immediately when forward progress is stopped.

 His forward progress was stopped and he was being pushed back. That's a blown whistle and no fumble every other time you see a play like that. I couldn't believe it wasn't called, but then I remembered the refs are really bad at making judgement calls.

IF (Huge IF) we beat Cincinnati, KC loses to Den, and NE beats Miami, should we play second stringers in week 18?

 

It does two things:

 

Rest

Likely keeps Miami out. 

 

I'd rather see NE down the road instead of Miami.

Bills are a very good road team.  They seem to play more disciplined defense on the road too. Maybe because they are not overly amped up and too aggressive.  I dunno.  But i like their chances at Cincinnati. 

 

 Could be on the road they are able to communicate better with each other pre-snap than at home where it's loud. Especially with all the the young guys that have played in the secondary this year.

They are all predicting 1- to 3-point wins for their team, with one poster predicting a 10-point win.

Watch out, here comes another 13 cent bet on a Bills opponent from a resident board troll!

That would lead to two weeks of the starters not playing.

I don't think the Bengals are that great. Was not impressed by them from the Pats game.

I'd rather see Miami get in who is capable of beating a 2 seed on a given day versus NE that has almost zero chance of that.

Agree, but at any time like the Bills and Chiefs they can show you why they're considered the best team in the conference.

They should be a lot better on paper offensively than they actually are.

They should be confident in their team the same way we are confident in ours.
