The over is -140.  Basically, Vegas thinks they’re an 11-6 team which seems exactly right to me.  The interesting part IMO is that they don’t think the Bills win the division.

Which Sportsbook has the Bills as the "non favorite" to win the Afc east?

 

DraftKings has Buffalo +135, Jets next at +240, then Miami +300.

Miami and the Jets with Rodgers are going to be tough.

Questions:

 

What were the pre-season predictions for the Bills from this outfit last year at this time?

And what was the consensus here?

[StHustle]

When is the last time we didn’t hit the over. I believe it during the drought (don’t feel like checking).

It's going to be tough since we got rid of Lil Dirty

They see what’s going on, even if some fans want to ignore it.

 

- Miami has gotten a lot better this off-season. Fangio alone was a huge get. Add in Ramsey, who even if overrated is better than what they had, and Long who a good downhill thumping LB, and it’s gotten harder to beat them.

 

- The Jets beat us with that 18 year old they have at QB. Their defense is incredible. Not fake incredible like Mcd/Frazier’s. But actually incredible. They add Rodgers and things get real sticky. Rodgers would could put up only 20ppg and they would still likely make the playoffs. 

Have to agree. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills don't win the division. 

 

On paper, the Dolphins are better than the Bills except at QB. 

 

Adding Rodgers to the Jets clearly puts them right there vs Buffalo. 

 

Both of this teams have no fear or intimation vs Buffalo.  After last year, I believe they are confident they can beat the Bills. Not sure they felt that way in several years.  A belief in winning and taking the next step is crucial for the chasing teams.

It's interesting thinking about heading into last season.  I thought both the Broncos & Colts would be formidable, and if someone told me we'd have 3 losses, I doubt I would have guessed "Jets, Phins, Vikings."  

 

In a way, we seem to play better against the top teams.  Hopefully, the tough schedule and tough division will forge them into a championship team by the end.

I believe the board was predicting pretty much 13-14 wins but nobody predicted 1 game would not be played

Take the over, thank me now and later

[ProcessTruster]

this years predictions just about as useful as last years'

Buffalo is the favorite, but they all pay more than even odds.  The books think they’re the most likely to win, but they’ve got less than a 50% chance of winning.

Division is a lot tougher.

Road games at KC, CIN, PHIL.

NFCE is pretty tough as well.

 

I would say 10 is the floor, 12 the ceiling. I will guess 11-6.

[KingBoots8]

We lost our 3 games last season by a combined total of 8 points. One of which was due to heat exhaustion wearing half our team out. Another was a bad snap. The Jets game was an “Any Given Sunday” fluke.

 

I’ll take the over, please.

[78thealltimegreat]

Probably 12-5 if everything broke perfectly 13-4 again type season.

Anywhere from the 1-3 seed in the AFC come playoff time.

Seems low to me, 12 would be my guess

I would be in the 12 camp too, until I looked at the schedule. It’s a tough schedule. Nothing wrong with a 10 win battle tested team. I’d prefer that to the golden boys next year. Golden boys, refers to odds on favorite to win SB. I like coming in under the radar.

The Dolphins will go with Tua and f*** it all up

20-0

I can't see Tua staying healthy. He had 2 confirmed concussions last year (CIN/GB) and probably suffered one against the Bills as well. If the Dolphins find a decent QB then they will be in the mix for the division. If not, it will come down to the Bills and Jets assuming they get Rodgers.
