Albany,n.y. Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 For the same reason we were underdogs at Jacksonville: We're on the road. The bettors underestimate us.
Lori Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 FYI -- Cards are 7-2 in their new building. (Yes, you'll be seeing that stat again soon.)
kbuckley9091 Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 Ouch, 7-2? Didn't know that....it's probably better this way. Bills have never thrived in the favorite role! FYI -- Cards are 7-2 in their new building. (Yes, you'll be seeing that stat again soon.)
/dev/null Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 FYI -- Cards are 7-2 in their new building. (Yes, you'll be seeing that stat again soon.) 7-2 7 wins and 2 losses? As a ratio, that's 7:2 or 3.5:1 3.5 Holcomb's Arm strikes again~
True Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I'm watching the line shift a bit today... we are -105 to their -115... and the spread is like 0.5 now... B.
Tcali Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Just wondering..... I think thats a fair assessment of us. We barely squeaked by 2 and a half of our wins. And we are playing an above average team onthe road.
Big Turk Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Well, we are only a 1 point underdog. In a game against teams that are supposedly equal, the home team get a 3 point edge for being the home team. So to see that we are underdogs by 1 point means that while the oddsmakers feel we are slightly better than the Cardinals, we are not that much better to make us a favorite on the road.
fishmonger Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Listen dumbasses ,Bills should beat this team. There is a rebuilding paradigm, and the Cards are a year or two behind us. Cards will be a team to be reckoned with in the future. They have not seen a D like this. Bills 24-7. Two picks fist half. Hear me now or mock me later. Then they beat SD; Mayhem ensues. lose four in a row; rally to make playoffs. Make no mistake.
Frez Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I see the Cards are favored by one point for the weeks game vs Buffalo. I'm not sure I see it that way. Buffalo 34 Cardinals 21 Kurt Warner will be running for his life this week! Bank it!
turbobike Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Sorry boys...our Secondary banged up, Hardy not ready...Card 34 Bills 16...
ax4782 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Buffalo should win this game, though I think it will be closer than some people think. AZ has a solid D and a passing attack that can be very dangerous. This is a solid test for the Bills. If they can get a decisive victory this week, our chances of going forward are that much brighter. Buffalo 31 Arizona 27
oak tree 12 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Just wondering..... because vegas knows their s-it,they do not keep building billion dollar casinos because they are stupid. this is a very tough spot for the bills. traveling across the country against a good team that is coming home after 2 weeks on the road and off an embarassing defeat in their last game. the cards also play very well @ home they were 6 and 2 @ home last year. i will say this if the bills can somehow win this game then watch out however it will be a very hard game for the bills to win. the odds are definatly against us and vegas knows this thus making the cards the favorite.
bills_red Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Home gets -3 plus Cards are a good team at home. They were on the east cost for WAS and stayed for the Jets game. So I think that played a part to the blow out. Cards are going to give us a game.

Buffalo 31 Arizona 27 If Arizona has a solid D, how many points would a team with a shaky defense have surrendered to the Jests? (I know: a lot of the points were set up by turnovers.)

Is your definition of solid "not being within six yards of a receiver, allowing a quarterback to throw six easy touchdown passes?" I'm not much into predictions...I don't know if the Cardinals are going to score 3 or 33, or if we're going to score 0 or 50. But I would not call their D solid either way.

I'm not much into predictions...I don't know if the Cardinals are going to score 3 or 33, or if we're going to score 0 or 50. But I would not call their D solid either way. Be careful - even with the debaucle against the Jets, I believe they're ranked 9th in ypg which is a pretty reasonable stat. I read interviews with one of the Cards corners saying that they were all trying to cover for each other when their strong safety went down - it looked like a complete mess with guys running wide open. I definitely don't think that game was typical. You look at their defensive roster and it's not bad - they have quality players all over the place (Karlos Dansby, Antrel Rolle as a backup CB, Dockett at DT) - personally I think the one advantage we have against most other teams we play against now is better coaching adjustments. We haven't had that since Wade was the DC here. I believe this game could go either way and if Boldin plays, I don't think we match up without McGee. Otherwise, an away game against an explosive offense and an embarrased defense playing at home, I'll only like our chances if we somehow manage to stay within a FG at the start of the 4th. Pass rush, pass rush, pass rush.
