NJ_BillsFan Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I just saw the Harmon forecast here: http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/features/harmon_forecast Read the underlined sentences. These were right after eachother. Which fact is right. He's obviously wrong about one. Another writer who talks out of his @ss and has the gaul to have a :forecast" named after him. *Buffalo 28 Houston 17 -- The Bills possess one of the league's stingiest defenses, which should be enough to slow down the Texans, a team that continues to slowly mature on offense. Buffalo was strong against the run and the pass, and forced a conference-best 39 turnovers last season. RB Willis MaGahee's ability to move the chains will be the difference against Houston. New Orleans 18, *Carolina 14 -- Carolina has established itself as a team that makes big plays on defense. The Panthers led the NFL with 38 takeaways, but New Orleans is equal to the task defensively with a league-leading 20 fumble recoveries in 2004. Both teams are strong against the pass, which could result in an emphasis on the run, which favors the Saints.

I'd say one of the of the league's stingiest defense should be able to hold a slowly maturing offense to 17 pts. I also think we're going to need more than "McGahee moving the chains" to score 28. Frankly if somebody offered me today: "I can guarantee you exactly 17 pts for Houston, no more, no less " I don't think I'd take that deal.
