If it looks to good to be true, then is probably is, RIGHT???

What am I missing here?? I know this is a division game on the road, but can someone please provide me with any and all info as to why the line shouldn't be at least -3 or 4. The only game Buffalo has lost was on the road out on the west coast at Arizona; even then, Trent Edwards was knocked out (literally) early in the game. Moreover, Miami is 1-2 at home, has lost two in a row to the Texans and Ravens, respectively, (both with losing records to boot), and Buffalo is coming off a solid win against the Chargers.

Thanks in advance.......georgiasluke

and miami beat that same chargers team
... and new england
miami was one of the league's laughingstocks last year and buffalo narrowly escaped with a win down there. bills are a very good team. but dolphins arent going quietly in this game. line is dead on. it's a toss-up.

This line is gonna fly up, I hoping it can get to 3, and I'll be all over the Dolphins.

dont think this line will ever reach 3, maybe 2- before gametime......... local media here in western new york say the bills are not getting any respect from vegas, because the low number........ i think fish win at home

Already BUF-2 at Bodog. I wouldn't be surprised to see -3.5 by kickoff. Might be a good idea to wait on this one if you are taking MIA.

I think the lines pretty dead on. It's a toss up IMO. I'm not really sold on any NFL plays this week yet. Was looking at the over 46 SD/NO and probably would play it if the game was in the states.

Miami should win here, but it will be a tight game. As prodigy said this line is spot on and this game is pretty much a toss up. Buffalo is good, but not great. Miami is underrated, but not a consistent team. They beat two teams that imo are more talented in SD and NE, but lost to two teams that are less talented in NYJ and BAL. Houston wasn't a bad loss at all because they could have easily been a playoff team this year, and still good.

The Bills are 14-0 ATS (+10.1 ppg) since 2002 when their defense
prevented their opponent from scoring a TD in a goal-to-goal situation
as an underdog in their last game.


Bills were a 1 point dog in their last game. Chargers had a first and goal late in the 4th and Rivers got picked by Mitchell. Ill take the 14-0 record and side with the Bills over the Phins here...

the bills may cover, if they do please do not attribute it to that queer stat :ohno:
there is no correlation to that stat and them winning....... plus bills closed at -1

Try spending more time on looking ahead at schedules rather than behind and some of your answers will come to you.

Buffalo should be favoured by 3 that alone - sez M-I-A

MIA is a tuff play this wk. W/out big NT Ferguson in the middle, both BAL & HOU were able to run the ball well, which obviously opened up the passing gm. But, Soliai is big as well, and he should be starting. MIA expects to blitz more this gm, to keep Edwards off rhythm, but I'm worried about stopping Lynch. I hope to god MIA pulls this one off, but I'm staying far away from playing it!

Been meaning to tell you, powerz, that I always make a point of reading your posts in the CFL forum. That part of the site doesn't have a lot of posters but it's long on knowledge. I've turned a fair profit -- especially considering the small size of the bets I make there -- betting on the league to the north.

On the topic at hand, Buffalo is an improved team, no doubt about it, but I think their record is a little inflated and Miami is also much improved and playing with an attitude so clearly better than last year. That combined with getting points makes me like the Fish quite a bit here. Add in the fact that Miami is better in the rushing game, both offensively and defensively, and I like it even more.

This might be the most useless stat/trend I have ever seen, and I have seen some hilarious ones here on this site. People need to understand that trends, ridiculous or normal, mean absolutely nothing. I personally have never, and would never use a trend to cap a game. It really means nothing, especially when you have one like the one you mentioned here. Anyone can dig out a random fact like that for any team in any game probably.

I love the Dolphins on Sunday. Joe Public is all over the Bills on a line that looks way too good to be true.
