Bills open 9.5 point favorites

[Woodman]

Just win screw the spread!

[Novacane]

The NFL put our game at 1pm Sunday for a reason. It's not going to be close.

stop it

I know it’s not really, but this feels like a reason this game will be closer than it should be. Fans with high expectations

[Woodman]

Just capitalize on the opportunities next week. :gobills:

It's not because of my faith in the Bills believe me. It the fact the I think the NFL is at least partially fixed. The NFL put our game in the least desirable time slot for a reason.

[Crisis]

We're just as likely to blow the Ravens out by 3 TDs as we are to lose to the god damn Steelers.

I'd hammer the Steelers +9.5 if I didn't think it was bad juju. I think it'll be another close game.

[Klaista2k]

What makes you think it's the least desirable time slot?

I think you can argue that 1pm Sunday is one of the best time slots.

[Mr. Pink]

Steelers won't lose by 9.5

They play everyone close. They are well coached. And they were doing this before Mason Rudolph started taking snaps and taking chances down field.

Their offense is still pretty putrid but they are solid defensively, we like shooting ourselves in the foot to end drives...we had 3 drives end in the redzone vs the Dolphins.

I expect the Bills to win this one, but I fully expect a 21-17 type of game.

This. Not liking the fat line, but in the playoffs all you have to do is advance. Bills 26, Steelers 21

[Chet]

Weather calling for snow showers all week and on Sunday with 10-15mph winds

[YardRat]

Yeah, early talk of a storm for the weekend.

[kscdogbillsfan1221]

‘Yea, storm’

- Russia go boom

[Forward_Lateral]

Gonna be fun!

I heard it's supposed to be friggen cold??

[TacklingDummy]

The script is in.

Buffalo, KC, and Cleveland are winning next week.

[TheConsigliere]

Bills will win by 14+

[TheConsigliere]

Just win screw the spread!

You need THE spread first to screw.

[Woodman]

You need THE spread first to screw.

Now 10 point favorites.

[OpIv37]

Just insanity. There were like 9 games this year- including yesterday- that should have been blowouts on paper, but turned into either losses or close games.

This team never makes it easy.

[Discotrish]

The script is in.

Buffalo, KC, and Cleveland are winning next week.

And don't beat Miami by too much after their blowout loss the week before.

It's the playoffs now, so there really is no easy games from here on out.

[OpIv37]

That’s kinda the point. It’s a huge spread for the playoffs, and the Bills are a team that hasn’t covered big spreads. Just makes no sense.

Vegas knows how to place a spread. To say it’s nonsensical makes no sense. It’s about getting wagers placed… that is all. It doesn’t take into account 12 men on the field or what the team did on Oct 22, the year of our lord 2023

[Novacane]

TV. They put it at 1pm Sunday because it because it's the least attractive match up

As a fan I love it. I'm just telling you the NFL expects Our game to not be close. And that's why they put it on sunday at 1.

[Chet]

Yep, on wildcard weekend Saturday 4:30 and Sunday 1:00 are the “projected” blowout and/or least attractive matchups. It doesn’t mean that’s how they’ll end up, but that’s the way it is

They’re all attractive to me this year except Philly-TB. From an outsiders perspective our game is no doubt the least appealing. Let’s hope we reinforce that notion!

[notacon]

This is probably going to be a close game. Pittsburgh is a tough team to beat.

I don't care what the final score is. Just win!!!

[Forward_Lateral]

I just looked at the forecast. Right now it says 5 degrees with the wind chill and snow.

Sounds like Buffalo Bills playoff weather to me!

[Klaista2k]

I don't think that's necessarily true.

It's the playoff's so all of these games are pretty attractive.

22 and windy with wet snow is what I saw for Orchard Park Sunday.

[Woodman]

Now 9.5 once again.

Must have got the Steeler money today.

it was snowy last year, didn't help. Personally I don't think it is our weather, more theirs

[Mad Max]

Agree. The Bills as constituted aren’t necessarily a cold weather advantage grinder team. They just happen to play in a cold weather city.

The Steelers are both a grinder team and play in a cold weather city.

[BuffaloBlitz83]

it was snowy last year, didn't help. Personally I don't think it is our weather, more theirs

We run more now

[Bill Cody]

We run more now

sure but our big big advantage is at QB. How does ****ty weather help Josh?

[Klaista2k]

I think if the Bills-Steelers was really viewed as the least attractive matchup they would've put us early Saturday on NBC or maybe Saturday Night on Peacock!

Being on CBS with Nantz and Romo feels like a big time spot.

That’s right.

Bills fans might as well face it that Josh Allen is now MUST SEE TV.

[Woodman]

Romo loves Josh.

Well there’s no argument that Vegas knows how to make money but this just doesn’t make any sense. Literally anyone who has followed the Bills this year would take the under.

[Woodman]

over/under 35

Bills now 10 point favorite once again.

[Kenny]

I dont get the spread. This game will be a far tougher matchup than Miami
For one, they've actually played well and beaten some good teams this year, and that's despite having some very average (at best) QB play.

While I think our defense should be able to keep Pittsburgh in check early on, if our offense struggles and turns the ball over, that combo of Harris and Warren is going to gas our defense. Add in the bad weather which will negate our superior passing attack, I'm a bit worried about this one.

Hopefully we can make them one dimensional by jumping out on top big.

Wow that's really low total.

[Chet]

Wow that's really low total.

[Novacane]

Covering a 10 point spread doesn't necessarily mean the game wasn't close. It can be a one score game for 3 1/2 quarters then the Bills score late to put it away. Some of you are acting like Vegas is predicting the games over by halftime.

People get way too upset over anything anymore.

Who cares what the point spread is?

just win baby

or you can eat up by 16 and allow a garbage time TD.

[Woodman]

Browns are favored by 2.5.

Chiefs are favored by 4.

Cowboys are favored by 7.5.

Lions are favored by 3.5.

Eagles are favored by 3.

Oh and the Bills are still favored by 10.

[notacon]

Well there’s no argument that Vegas knows how to make money but this just doesn’t make any sense. Literally anyone who has followed the Bills this year would take the under.

Not really.

The Bills were 7-9-1 ATS this season (https://www.covers.com/sport/football/nfl/teams/main/buffalo-bills). The "push" was vs Philly.

BUT, and this is a HUGE but, the record vs PLAYOFF teams was 4-1-1. The only ATS loss was vs Tampa Bay, where the Bills were favored by 10 and won by six. Does it matter in the least that the Bills beat them by six points and not 10??? **** NO!!!!

Again, only degenerate gamblers obsess over the point spreads. I don't and never will gamble my hard earned money on something so stupid and unpredictable as NFL football scores.

[Woodman]

Wow that's really low total.

Under/Over 38.5 >>> must be betting that lower number!

3.5 point jump is pretty big!

[Woodman]

Under/Over 38.5 >>> must be betting that lower number!

3.5 point jump is pretty big!

back down to 35.5

scary weather forecast I guess :idunno:

[Turf]

10 point spread is pretty hard to pass in a low scoring game. The line says take the Steelers, which makes me happy. So for the over under at 36 and the Bills by 10, we see a 27-10 score, Bills. Yeah I could see that.

[k-oneputt]

Everybody and their mother will be on Pitt +10 with the bad weather forecast.
So there you go, Bills cover.

[Woodman]

Now 9 .... depends were I guess .... u/o 35.5

[Woodman]

Mason Rudolph 150+ Pass Yards
Najee Harris 60+ Rush Yards
Najee Harris to Score a TD

If I had to I'd go under the 150 for Rudolph.

[Woodman]

Now 9 .... depends were I guess .... u/o 35.5

Back up with the postponement announced to 10 points.

U/O waiting for an update.

[Kenny]

hoping the wind on monday doesnt get too wild... 15-20mph

If we can build up an early lead, this game will be over quick.
