denver -9?

fwiw,
bills are on the road for the second week in a row. i play against road teams in the second road game IF they covered the first road game, which buffalo did. other variables go into my decision as well, it's not always a given i play it, but it's always a given that i don't play against it.
all that being said, i was figuring an opening line closer to 7 or 8, so the 9 surprised me as well. i'm waiting to see which way it goes. if buffalo gets heavy enough play to move it to 8.5 or 8, i will probably be on denver.
good luck with all your plays.

Denver Defense!!
Denver Defense!!
Their is a reason this number is so high. Denver has already proven they can shut down good qb's and receivers. Plus they are finally going against a defense in which they can move the ball at will. Denver will be atleast +2 in the turnover ratio, Bledsoe's lack of mobility will cost him bigtime at milehigh vs. a mad hungry defense in front of their crazy fans. Smart money is on Denver, hopefully the public drives the line down by kick off and I will be all over Denver.
AFC West is 7-1 vs. the spread ( my Chiefs sure suck but the other teams can throw down the gauntlet on the defensive side of the ball, it's not the public perception yet but this conference can play defense, outside of my sorry Chiefs)

The under is kind of dangerous considering a team should be able to put up about 30 on the Bills & I'm sure they are good for 17-21 themselves.
here is why i like the under..
there are two things Shanahan is going to try and do sunday.
1. Keep Griese from being a deciding factor in the game. still not much confidence in little brian.
2. Keep the red hot Buff offense off of the field..
these goals are achieved w/ clock management, provided by a sturdy running game. Griese only threw 19 passes the entire game last week. the broncs grinded the game out by running 27 times and keeping a dangerous offense off the field..
I believe you might be underestimating the Bronco D a bit..
They have stopped cold 2 of the best O's in the NFL!
Bills have put up alot of points, but have they played a decent D yet?
not expecting Drew to put up big numbers, and i dont think the Broncos will be throwing the ball much.. game should go quick and be relatively low scoring........
give me the under 48!
good luck

I AGREE DEN HAS AN EXCELENT D--?? SECONDARY THOU AND I FEEL BUFF WILL NOT RUN THE BALL WELL SO HOW ABOUT 55-60 PASSES FROM BLEDSOE--HE WILL COMPLETE HALF--25-30 PASSES SHOULD RESULT IN 20 POINTS
60 passes?
hell they only ran the ball 14times against the Vikes.. and still only had 49 passing attempts, thats including OT
i just dont see the buff. offense being on the field long enough to have 60 pass attempts..?
some good info comming through guys. thats what jacks is all about..
thanks for the posts everyone!
good luck
going to give u my input on this game:
true buffalo is playing back to back games on road-but lets not forget that denver hasnt played 2 straight @ home either!
game 1 @ denver
game 2@ san francisco
game 3 @ denver
now lets not forget that broncos were sky high for both those games! i think 9 points is way to many right now and not saying im backing the bills this week-but if i had to right now- i would take the 9!
u will se a better run defense this week as the broncos have a much better running game than do the vikings! i think the emotional win last week will carry into this week for the buffs! remember denver beat a st.louis team that is trying to find there identity right now! im going to say the same thing about the 49ers! they havent played well either! garcia does not look sharp and the broncos took advantage of it last week!
the thing that scares me is i believe vegas wants buffalo money! before this line came out -i thought it would be -7
as for me i will probably lay off!
