I thought they would be more then that. But 6.5 wins is the early line out. I was thinking 8.5.

That will go up. They are an early favorite as far as point spreads go in 9 of the 15 I think it was, no spreads in week 17. Lots of 1 to 3 point spreads either way. I think they win 7 if Fitz is the QB the whole season.

Sadly that is probably accurate because we are only one or two injuries away from having what happened last year repeat itself. We don't have any depth and we can never stay healthy.

You guys again made it about Fitz. People on this board seem to think if Fitzpatrick hets hurt the season is over. How in the world does my post not make sense to people who cry little babies like you and your sad crew that pick bits and pieces of a post to quote about.

If Fitz plays the whole season........I think they can win over 6.5 (and does not get hurt for you crybaby weenies)

If Fitz does not play the whole season, I think they can win over 6.5 games.

Wow, you guys make it about Fitz.

I did say they would win 7 if Fitz was the QB the whole season. The over/under is 6.5. That was my statement. I picked over.

with all the changes and massively improved depth i think its close to a lock they exceed last seasons win total by .5 games. thats point five games as in half a game

i dont see this number staying put for long at all

You guys do know that there are ways to bet sports on the Interweb, right? You can even get on them from your computer now. All you need is a free month of AOL CD, and to plug your phone line into your computer, wait for the funny noise and put down the kids' college savings.

Don't thank me...thank Al Gore.*

Might as well just pick them to win it all...just think of all that money. Personally I am too upset about Tanny to do anything right now. I mean, did you see the YouTube video? He was a real prospect! All we have now is three guys who have actually played in the league and no D3 QB...just when you thought Buddy was on point. Chan probably didn't like him, because he likes black QBs, because he had nothing better than Kordell in Pittsburgh. Or maybe Tanny threw to the TE in the tryout...Chan hates TEs too. Realistically, though it was a money move. This is a business and Ralph is cheap.

*actually thank big government, because it was our tax dollars that funded the Interweb.

This line is obviously going to go up as the season gets closer. if you bet now, are you locked in for the 6.5 O/U? if so, now is the time to place your bets before it gets evened out around 8 once camp starts.

Extremebillsfan247

I'm no gambler, but 6.5 seems fair at this point. My concern is with the receiving core. No defense in the league is going to respect it enough to not cheat up on the line. They are still going to force the Bills to beat them deep.

opposing D's did that last year and as a team we still piled put up 23.5 pts a game.

improved D = better field position and the O getting the ball back more often.


I'd take the 6.5 games on the over for the Bills then double down on the under for Miami at 7.5


Anyone have recommended online betting site that has these odds... ?

I believe if you think the Bills would won less games with another QB I think peolle give Fitzpatrick way too much credit. 6 games is not that hard to attain. All but 7 teams won that much and there are many teams with below average QBs that won more. To people who believe the Bills had no chance to win 6 games without Fitz, I believe those people believe Fitz is a savior even of a person believes he is serviceable and good enough QB for right now.

I am so happy you are holding out and waiting for my answer.

Now it just seems like you're putting words into other peoples' mouths, and I know you've complained that other people have done that to you.

Just because people disagree with you about how bad Fitzpatrick is doesn't mean that they are automatically on the other side of the spectrum and love everything about him.

There is a middle ground here, it's actually quite big, and I would say that 85% of the posters here fall into it. With you being as far toward the hatred end as possible, and...well no one I can think of on the 'savior' side.

The offense was averaging over 27 PPG in the first 7 games, with Fitz, without a true #2 WR, and with a rookie LT for more than 2 of the games and a 3rd string LT for one of them. Then Fitz injured his ribs and injuries started to mount on offense.

As an overall team, yes they improved. But the receiving core hasn't, or at least not enough. A lot of teams improved overall. Every schedule looks favorable in the eyes of most fans this time of year. But just like Vegas, fans perspectives will change once the season is officially underway, for better, or worse. It happens every year like clockwork.

Judging by how the Bills fared in the 2nd half of last season, 6.5 O/U at this time is fair because despite getting Mario Williams, Mark Anderson, and all the other additions, they still have to prove it on the field. We still don't know which Bills team we have, the one that started the 2011 season hot, or the one that ended it looking very pedestrian like the team from 2010 did. JMO

And if you are going to name the Broncos, I don't know that Manning will get them into the playoffs let alone win the first game like Tebow did.

I would say the Patriots are already in a great spot, and they have added a lot of talent on defense. Bengals look like thye were improved. Redskins and Cowboys look imporved too. Of bad teams in the top 10, Tampa Bay looks like they have a lot of improvements.

Bills are most certainly up there, but all on one side of the ball as far as improvements go.

Without breaking TOS which Im close to doing.....

You Du.....Our Offense was not nearly as bad as you make it out to be last year. And IMO they are going to be better by being together through a whole year together last year and this offseason. They should be better barring injury which KILLED US LAST YEAR! But you seem to forget that.

Two low first rnd draft picks & some mediocre FAs by the Pats* do not equate to the improvements the Bills made IMO. Of the teams you named only Tampa can come close to the Bills for improvements that will show up in the W-L record this year.

The offense we had was very average. Average passing attack, 15th. Running a little above average at 13th, 14th total in yards overall. I never said it was bad, it was average. Bills scored 14th in points, but let's face some facts here, Bills were 2nd in defensive touchdowns, and in total scored 51 non offensive points, top 3 in that in the NFL. Bills were 4th worst team in the NFL in 3rd down conversions, and were in top 5 in how many times they went 3 and out on offense. Dreadfully inconsistent. Depth definitely hurt this team.

Pats have a legit chance to go 16-0 this season, they will be at least a touchdown favorite in 13 of the games they have this season.

You do remember the injuries we had yes??? Starting Pro Bowl level RB our OLine had a ton of injuries. Not to mention the WRs that were injured. Not to mention Fitz being hurt with **** for QBs behind him. You seem to be blinded by your hate for Fitz

Well, one hopes Glenn pans out as a starter somewhere along the line, or as strong insert player. Last season, the relatively early loss of Freddie hurt. Jury's out on Spiller, IMO.

I was surprised at the Graham pick - speed, but a good chuck near the LOS can negate that - I've no idea how well he deals with that. TE prospect Charles was there.

Seems that Fitz had bad ribs in the last half of last season - I wonder about the severity of that; bum ribs = bum qb play. If it was really bad, turn to the #2 qb. And of course, other player injuries factored into the dismal collapse.

I do think that the fast start was "one of those things.", and the opposition eventually digested that.

I really don't see an offense this season that causes opposing DCs to bite their nails at night.

Don't turn my comments into an anti-Fitz pogrom, please.


I have difficulty buying into the DL hype. K. Williams has yet to show he's recovered, M. Williams is coming off injury - and recently voiced where he wants to line up - and the depth behind them is open to discussion. The LB corps has questions.


CB Gilmore has potential, but for the life of me, I do not understand why they passed on the DT prospect Cox.

Duh on me. Can't sleep on Glenn. I hope he is a big contributor. I want the Bills go get 3rd and 1 and 3rd and 2 on the ground a bit more this season. Would have loved taking his teammate in Charles at TE.

Well, the Pats* have one of the easiest schedules in the NFL this year again despite playing in the SuperBowl. They will most likely win the division again, but they did not improve their team as much as the Bills did this off season.
