Oak and St L giving away points.

SD with 2 TDs in 1 minute.

St L throws INT TD return..

[FlyersFan]

blame it on Udog........he got his team all upset by fading them at the half....


but then again....just like betting on teams with ****ty bullpens in baseball and watching them give up 200 runs in the 8th and 9th innings.....that's why they are who they are.....if they didn't do **** like that they would be good teams....

think you're still good in the SD game and not done yet in STL....GL!....

Check again....

And no, it aint the same. Losing a one run lead or a two run lead with a bad bullpen is nothing like losing a 22.5 pt ATS lead and a 16 pt ATS lead in the NFL at halftime.....within 15 mins of each other.

Bad beat on OAK

[Stifler's Mom]

Absolutely a bad beat on OAK, but I must defend my Bills, lol

First off, I don't know what anyone's reasoning was for taking the Lambs yesterday, nor do I care....but clearly BUF was the better team, and the correct side ATS.

I watched every play of that game, and it was more than obvious STL came out with something to prove. They had a chip on their shoulder, and they played like f'n gangbusters in the first half. They caught the Bills off guard, and made a few big plays. But the fact remains that they are a BAD FOOTBALL TEAM. They are disorganized, have a lame duck coach who half the team doesn't even want to play for, and get physically whipped at the line of scrimmage....on both sides of the ball....week in and week out.

In the NFL, they play 4 quarters, not 2, and the better team normally wins out in the end....and when push came to shove, the Bills shoved it right down the Lambs throats for the entire 2H, and that's why they won and covered the measly 8.5 point spread.

Stif:

I respect your opinion but the Bills were outgained by more than 100 yds and without the INT return, they might not have won the game, never mind covered. To me, Buffalo has had to scrape out every win since week 1. Giving more than one TD on the road is suicide. I agree the Rams suck, but I also know for a FACT they will cover a game or two (maybe even 6) this year.

In all honesty, being outgained doesn't mean anything, and the INT was an important play, yes, but it certainly was not in any way the only thing the Bills did well in the 2nd half.

Stats, to me, are bull**** garbage to be honest. I mean yeah, if one team can't stop the run and the other has a good history of running the ball, then i can see the relevance....but in this game it meant nothing.

From watching that game, it was more than clear that the Bills were dominating the entire 2H, and they did win by 17 points. Take away the INT and turn it into an incompletion, make STL punt, and BUF doesn't score. They STILL win by 10 if the rest of the game plays out similarly. The Lambs had like 6 yards of offense thru the entire 3rd and part of the 4th qtr, if i remember correctly, until they racked up some garbage yards at the end when they were already clearly out of the game. That's just one reason yards don't mean crap. In addition to the fact that a team might not pile up huge offensive numbers, but it could be because they are being set up by special teams and/or defense, while the other team is constantly having to drive the field, so they have more opportunity to pile up yards. Christ, there's so many reasons stats are misleading....and if you could cap using them, we'd all be retired on this **** and the books would be out of business!!

Just because NYY outhit BOS 12-7, doesn't mean they should have won....

There's a reason the only thing that counts is the score.

I'll be honest with ya....I ain't gonna lie, the whole first half STL was kicking BUF's ass....and I sure as hell didn't know they would just come back and roast the Lambs in the 2H....but that is what happened.

You can say as much as you want about the Bills having to scrape out wins too, and that's fine....but you couldn't have possibly overlooked the fact that the Lambs got lambasted every freakin game so far, even @ Seattle, whom Buffalo completely destroyed just 3 weeks ago. I know that's not a solid method of capping, but seriously, with as bad as the Lambs looked in every single game, how was anyone to expect that they would come out and do even half as well as they did against BUF? How could you (or anyone else) possibly predict that? I mean they haven't been competitive in 3 full games, and now all of a sudden since BUF scraped out a few wins, while STL was busy getting their asses kicked all over the place, how does this mean STL is all of a sudden automatically only a TD or less worse than them?

Besides, so many times I see a team struggle for a while, and then come back to paste the other team when they need to in order to win the game. That's the sign of a winner....and IMHO, taking mid sized dogs in the NFL (and the NBA) who have all but no shot to win the game is the biggest suicide bet there is.

What really disturbs me, is that BUF is mediocre and lucky because they had to "come back" and earn their wins....but when a team like Dallas, or Philly, or SD make a come back, they're for some reason super for doing so.

Besides, beating a solid phycial team like JAX on the road is quality. Period.

OAK played a good game vs BUF, and if i remember correctly, SD (who is supposed to be so great) just barely eeked by them 2 days ago too. OAK is FAR better than people think....

And the Bills got ambushed by a hyped up STL team, and struggled for a half. So what? they got it done when it mattered.

Point blank, if the oddsmakers had liked STL's chances of winning outright, the line would have been +7 or less....so what does another +1.5 mean? It means alot more people will take the points because it's "over a TD"....and the oddsmakers know it.

As a matter of fact, I would LOVE to hear anyone's explanation of why the Lambs were going to hang within a TD of, and possibly beat the Bills outright this week....even after the game has concluded. What had that team done in the first 3 weeks combined to possibly even warrant consideration at less than like +17 against anyone, no matter where they were playing?

Not trying to come off sounding like a prick or anything, but to say STL +8.5 was the correct play, and that you somehow got screwed in that game, is just flat out not correct.
