CBS likes the Bills in Week 1

[Ed]

So 7 of their 8 "experts" picked the Bills this week to beat the Jets. Pete Prisco picked the Jets, of course. I'm not sure if they really like the Bills, or if they're just down on the Jets, but I was surprised by this. I think critics are giving the Jets a harder time than they deserve and as much as I hate them, it's hard not to be worried about how poorly we always seem to match up with them recently. Either way it's encouraging to see some love for the Bills.

I read this earlier, this is straight up with no spread. If you add the spread, it's 8 for 8. One other thing, Prisco is no "Expert".

I'd prefer to be the underdog.

I think this might have to do with how poorly the media is viewing the Jets right now, tbh.

Everywhere is lambasting them for how horrible they looked in preseason - and they did look horrible.

Underdog or not, a win is a win against that debacle of a joke of a team.

They will look a lot better this Sunday than they did in preseason. Book it.

Pete Prisco usually shows us a lot of love.

I've been listening to him on Jax radio for a couple years (until he left a few weeks ago) and he's always been one of the few national guys who seems to give us a fair shake.

I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. Outside of New York City, most observers now believe the Jets are on a slippery slope.

Re: CBS likes the Bills in Week 1

all signs seem to point to the bills heading upwards and the jets imploding

thats why i will take the jets 17-16

I see people say this all the time and I just don't get it. If you're the underdog it usually means your team sucks. How can that be a logical preference for a fan of a sports team?

At the moment ESPN is 5-4 in favor off the Bills, or 6-5 if you include accuscore and pigskin picks

Re: CBS likes the Bills in Week 1

Bills are fighting history too.

They've only won 4 road openers in the history of the franchise.
