They pounded Miami into being a favorite.  Bills taking money now, down to 1.5.

I am so in on that if they are pounding Miami tonight. I think I like those odds. No way Miami wins tonight.

I hate waiting all day. 😢

Earlier today of course.  Sorry if I confused you.

Someone tell the DL if they “beat their block” real easy it’s probably a screen.    Bengals love screens.

Saw a graph posted where a loss drops the Bills playoff chances from 80% to 60%

 

That's probably true, but I don't see Miami holding up down the stretch with their schedule. So I don't think it will matter as much as some think.

 

Hoping for a big win though so none of that matters.

I can’t stand primetime games. 

 

Spend the whole day sitting around waiting.

You know, if they lose tonight, no one will care if they beat the Broncos next week. Or the Jets the week after. It would take them beating the Eagles for the sporting world to start showing the Bills respect again. I'd like to say I don't care what the media and fans think, but it does make life more pleasant when the known world thinks your team rocks. And it's pretty miserable to see nothing but "Bills suck" articles and posts. 

 

In short, I hope they win tonight. 😁

[Casey D]

I look at tonight as a free game.  Figure to lose on road against hot team.  If they happen to win, makes up to some extent for Pats loss,  If not, they have several games to get it back.  Must win/should win are next two games,  Pats at home that gets to 8 wins.  Then got to find 2 wins from tonight, KC Philly Dallas Miami and Chargers.  Given the state of the AFC, 10 wins should punch their ticket, probably division if the beat Miami.  Challenging but doable.

I'm on the cusp. But I'm sure the gummies will put me over the top.

If the bills lose tonight, and look bad doing it, I don’t think anybody around here will be overlooking the Broncos game. I know I won’t.

Jets twice, Cowboys, Ravens, Bills…. first time I’ve checked their remaining schedule, the way people talk around here they have a cakewalk scheduled, that is not a cakewalk

Off to my Bills bar.

 

Time to prove that the Bills are still one of the best teams in the league. Go out there and earn respect from everyone tonight!

 

GO BILLS!!!

Which Bills bar do you frequent?

great … teams like the Bengals use disrespect like that that to fire themselves up.

[TwistofFate]

The importance of tonight's game can not be understated. If we do not take care of business tonight, the unbelievable is possible. 

 

A Jets team with no Qb to speak of would need to grind out another win against a Chargers team that gives games away, to move into second place in the division. 

 

It feels impossible to me for this to happen, but it's the reality right now and one I'm not fond I'm thinking about. 

 

Lets hope for a great game and a victory tonight which will launch us to first in the division.

If we win tonight, I'll feel great about winning the division.  Miami is a pretender.  The Bills aren't - they've looked shaky most of the season so far, but they're still a far more serious contender than the Dolphins.
