    In case you were in need of a punching bag

    Since 1995, Covers is the leading source for sports betting odds and data-driven analysis, providing expert picks and predictions for professional and college sports.


    I had never heard of the source before... this guy takes more shots at us in 16 paragraphs than any article I've ever seen. So the question beckons, is he a realist or an anti-homer?

      6.5 is the win over/under... I'd say that's pretty close to accurate.

        even before Ricky quitting, we went through things like this. Questions at the QB spot, a defense that was somewhat solid, but had taken a step back..........then after Ricky quit on us, this media stuff got worse. Us fans looked at the potential bright sides and igonored or made up excuses for anything bad. Then we went 4-12. I can't recall what rival fans probably called us a bunch of homers for being like that before the 4-12 season. So sometimes the "media" or "professionals" can be speaking out of their arse and be totally wrong for the predicitons they make, but sometimes they may very well earn their paycheck. I guess we really won't know until the season is completely underway.

          At least trashing the Bills keeps this guy away from child pornography for awhile.
          Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

            Nover's Bio said he once bet darkness at midnight and hit.

            Knowing that, how can I doubt his word ?

              Why? What did he say that was incorrect? Nothing would be the answer, the Bills ARE that bad. And until they show they aren't, they deserve all the writeups like those that come their way.

              Again, that reality thing hits home.

                Ouch. But we deserve this kind of write up.

                I do believe we will win 7 games. McGahee will run well and JP will look a lot better this year. He's right about Peerless, he's a very weak #2 option. When you go 5-11 nobody is going to write anything good about you. Milloy and Adams won't be missed. Moulds was definately losing a step but that was probably the biggest loss. I think we are better than people think but we have to prove it.

                    Basically, until the Bills do something to change the collective opinions of the general sports-watching public, they are what they have been for 7 years now.

                    We are what the Bangels were in the 90's. Only winning will change that.
                    Still searching for that offensive rhythm.

                      I hate to say it but the guy is mostly right about everything he said. This team has alot of leaks, from the top on down, and is probably going 6-10 or worse this year.

                      HOWEVER, the last two paragraphs makes me wanna kick the guy in the nads. There was NO need to be a d***head like that...but I guess it sells papers (or gains hits).

                        Agreed. Sad but true.

                          thank you! Only the homers can't understand that.

                            Excellent point!
                            I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

                              This article proves that any douche bag can write on the internet. I want the last 30 seconds of my life back after reading that steaming pile of feces.

                              Only Pat Moran and Blowhawk are a worse internet writers.
