Why are bills getting 7 in ne?

[lakerboy]

Pats overhyped now? Jeez 7 points seems like a lot in a div game vs a coach who usually plays ne tough.

[rm18]

Remember opened 4.5, doubt Pats win by more than 4 here.

[Bostongambler]

Pats win something like 24-10 tomm

I hear ya. Guess I'll put NE into a 2 team teaser with DEN

Why would you put Denver in a teaser?

[CWD]

no watkins but im taking shot at ML with maybe browns, jets, jags ML too from the early games

[The Hat]

Why would you put Denver in a teaser?

why not? with local guy, I get 7pts on 2 team teasers...... would give me Den +4 (and NE even)
I'll take that all day long.

[triplecrown333]

denver losing by 4 is not a longshot...

never cross zero.

to OP's point, bills suck. outgained every game this year. safe to assume same here. teams that get outgained only win 31% and cover 37% of games in the NFL since 2002.

I generally only cross zero with a strong defensive team that takes care of the ball and a low total on the game.

[Grits n' Gravy]

They are getting 7 because they are a very bad team with a very bad coaching staff going up against one of the best teams and the best coaching staff. I suppose they could cover but I wouldn't want to bet my money(or in Lakerboy's case Monopoly money)on them doing it.

[Husker36]

I would be kinda crazy if the Pats started 4-0 WITHOUT Brady

[RavensFan2k3]

Not really. People give Brady too much credit

I couldn't agree more. Overrated

Line now 5. Thanks for listening.

[slambam]

Buff is a mess. Remember the stat of Ryan vs Fitzpatrick? That didn't turn out well.

If thats correct , the Bills have only won 3 times since 2002 and once in NE in 15 years plus

[jjgold]

down to -4

injuries QB

[House]

Pats by 20 plus

[lakerboy]

Down to 3.5

[House]

Pats +21

[LT Profits]

Big dropoff from Garoppolo to Brissett. At least Jimmy G is a good downfield passer.

[House]

Do the Bills even find the end zone is my question

This is not about the QB guys lol ...... come on ........ 3 -0 without Brady ... Its Bill and the Pats system ! ... Its that D and the game plan they come up with weekly to STOP the opposing offense < you guys haven't seen enough of that yet ? ..... its about the two worst coaches, total douche bags on one sideline vs the best, noway does Belichick let those two beat his team .... and I hate the Pats by the way .... Im no homer ..... Pats in a blowout

[Bostongambler]

I hope it goes lower & lower. I'll just add more.

Doesn't change what I said. Pats could have used most of the playbook with Jimmy G. Brissett is much more limited as a passer. Pats will have to cover this game with their defense, just like they did vs. Houston. Could very well happen, but would have been easier with a more balanced offense.

best downfield passer ever after playing a whopping 5 quarters in the league. shoulder is junk now and probably won't even start. pats 28-3 vs bills since 2000 however. give the points in this one.

I think you misinterpreted what I said. Jimmy G is NOT starting and he is a MUCH better passer than Brissett. Nothing to do with what he has done through 5 quarters and everything to do with the skill set of each QB.

[LT Profits]

And I also never said Pats will not cover, I am merely explaining why the line plummeted this morning, it is because Jimmy is now Doubtful and Brissett is starting.

[NardVa]

The Bills have a chance if they get a few scores early. That will force Brissett to do more in the passing game which I don't think he can do.

Irrelevant to this game even though I like NWE

garapolo more than likely will never play another down (ot mopup) for the patriots again. still have to like NE with the 3rd stringer in there. line should not have plummeted to that degree because of this minor switch at QB.

What are you talking about? Garroppolo should have a successful career as Pats starter after Brady retires, that is what he is being groomed for.

And it is not as "minor" a switch as you are making it to be, Garoppolo was trained the entire offseason to be the starter the first 4 games, he is very familiar with the playbook and threw the ball well before the injury. Brissett is a work-in-progress that never expected to see the field this year.
