    Didn't take them long to create odds, eh?

    You really going to bet on them? To get those odds, you'll probably have to lock it down soon. I have a strong feeling that the line is bound to change in the next 5 months.

    Against a conference championship participant that seems a fair line.

    The Colts on the road are half the team they are at home.

    Respect but they don't scare me at all.

    I have a feeling that line is going to get bigger unless the Bills magically find a QB that Vegas believes in.

    It doesn't matter if Vegas believes in the Bills QB, it matters if the betting public does or not for the line to move one way or the other.

    I think the line will go down by kickoff.
    Bills +1, 1.5

    Nah, Vegas would never try to manipulate public opinion for financial gain. That's beneath them.

    ? What is Vegas going to do? Start dropping stories about how good EJ Manuel is to encourage bets on the Bills?

    You think they are above setting an attractive line to encourage betting?

    Plus isn't pretty standard for the home team to get 3 points?

    Hey, buddy, I've lived in Vegas for stretches and have went there on vacation for at least ten days every year for the past 15 years or so. I'm a Buffalonian all the way, but I've spent considerable time in Vegas.

    The whole idea of the gambling industry is to screw you out of your money any way they can. This is pretty much a known fact.

    It's all about manipulation and the lure of an easy buck. Even compulsive gamblers know this, maybe especially them.

    The Colts by a mile.

    LMAO at you who "aren't scared of the Colts on the road." Are the Buffalo Bills the only team that is allowed to improve from one year to the next?

    What spread would you be comfortable giving me if I want to bet on the Bills?
