Who's laying those odds?

Personally I wouldn't bet either because I think they are going to hit 5 on the nose.

5 on the nose is a push. I'd rather lay the -135 then have a 5.5 win line.

I know, that's why I wouldn't bet either. Obviously if you are betting the over you'd rather have a 5 than a 5.5

Im an idiot - I know the under/over but what is the 2nd number (+105 for example)?

Re: First season win total for the Bills is out....

True, but they get you with the -135. Still I'll take that.

you bet under 5 wins you win $105 for every $100 bet.

Re: First season win total for the Bills is out....

so do you win $135 for every $100 down if the bills go 5+ wins?

This is a vexing over under.

my head says this is a 4 win team. and the heart says 5 wins is so doable.

the sad thing is you don't really get rewarded much if marrone and copy somehow end up very hot and win like 10 games. you still just get the 35... and what happens if its just 5-11? a push?

Minus numbers are favorites. -135 means you have to bet $135 to win $100.

Plus numbers are underdogs. +105 means you bet $100 to win $105.

No it's the opposite. Vegas thinks this is a 5+ win team, or at least thinks the money will point that way.

Well, THe Bills have sucked for years, and I have always said you can fart 4 wins in the NFL, just need to squeeze out 2 more. I would bet several thousand on the over 5.

Re: First season win total for the Bills is out....

I look at the schedule every 2 weeks and I still see this as a 2-14 team.

An incredible season would be 4-12.

The under is the safe bet.

incredible = 4 wins? Would you say last year was the perfect season then? Christ, get real.

New coaches, new systems, new QB, etc.

There will be growing pains this year and last year was the easiest schedule we faced in many years.

Review this year's schedule and try to figure where the wins are going to come from.
