“We will continue with J.P. Losman as our starting quarterback for our game with New England this Sunday," said Jauron.

I can't see Lynch having that great of a game against NE to let them hang around. As bad as Losman has played in his games that won't let Lee Evans get into the game to make any big plays. I'd say if Trent Edwards was playing they would have a shot to cover the spread but with Losman this will be a 20+ point win.

I wouldn't touch the O/U because you don't know if the Bills will score or the Patriots hit the Over by themselves.

Patriots -15 look like the smartest play.

Call me a BSP, but I don't understand how NE doesn't win by 21+ like they have been doing all year. Buffalo is a terrible team and lost by 31 points the first time they played each other. What has changed other than the location of the game? Does homefield make the Bills 15 points better than they were at NE?

Buffalo is a terrible team? Are you on crack?

And if you really think that because the Pats won 38-7 earlier in the year it means they are 31 points better than the Bills, you're on crack again.

No 2+2 love for Buf +15....I may as well wait for the 17 cross.

This will be fun.

Re: *** OFFICIAL 11/18/07 NFL SNF GAME THREAD (NE @ BUF) ***
 

I also agree to stay away from the O/U because of the Pats ability to break it themselves. However, I do believe Buffalo will get closer than expected by some people.

Pats 31, Buffalo 10 or maybe Pats 38, Buffalo 17

I'm finding it hard to understand why you'd want to bet +15 against a team that has won 8 of its 9 games by at least 17 points.

Buffalo might not score.

Not only that, but I don't think Buffalo has done anything to piss Belicheck off. I doubt he'll go to the same extent to score points late as he did against Dallas and Washington.

Does this mean that you think the Redskins and Cowboys did something to piss Bill Belicheck off? If so, what did they do?

Re: *** OFFICIAL 11/18/07 NFL SNF GAME THREAD (NE @ BUF) ***
 

Gibbs and Wilson were both pretty vocal about the Pats camera incident. I don't remember what Gibbs said, but I know Wilson made some dumb comment about how it tainted their legacy, and then tried to retract it.

Buffalo 17 points huh? Aren't we optimistic.

One of the reasons I'm taking Pats -15 and the U46.5 is this score, 31-17, is one of the few scores that could cause me to lose both bets. I see a very small chance (well under 20%) that the Pats win by less than 15 and the total is 47 or higher. You're looking at a 31-17, 35-21 game, and Buffalo's offense just isn't good enough to score that much.

On the flip side, I think there's a decent enough chance that both NE wins by 15 AND the under hits.
