BayRaider Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 This forum has always been way too gun shy at picking upsets. Literally most predictions I see are extremely top heavy and bottom heavy. 25-30% are upsets every week. Everyone keeps circling NO @ TEN as a NO win cause this forum is notorious for just picking favorites like a robot. Saints are not going 14-2. They will lose one more. And that’s probably on the road in Tennessee. A Top 10 D in cold weather in December, not Brees greatest performances. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move along troll. Dallas' defense has nothing to do with what Dallas' offense was unable to do against Buffalo's defense. Do you always result in calling other posters trolls when they wage against your blind homerism? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Top 10 D in cold weather in December, not Brees greatest performances. i'd be more convinced of this if we weren't down our 1, 2, and 4 CBs lol. 1 (malcolm butler) is out for the season, so we're not getting him back. we're gonna have to hope like hell that adoree jackson and leshaun sims' injuries aren't long term, because the dudes we had out there yesterday were getting torn up by jacoby brissett and the colts' backup WRs. they don't stand a chance against brees, and our defense is not top 10 starting it's 5 and 6 CBs.

I have the Titans getting that game, splitting with Houston and beating the Raiders this weekend to get the 6th spot at 10-6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you always result in calling other posters trolls when they wage against your blind homerism? Blind homerism I'm calling bs. Is it possible Pittsburgh loses? Absolutely but I'm pretty sure I said I believe we will win. That is in no way a statement of certainty. You however have spoken in several certainties. Buffalo, regardless of their quality defense has an EXTREMELY inconsistent offense. It has done well enough to win games and they've also been relatively healthy this season. But considering Pittsburgh keeps finding a way to win, I dont think its unfair to talk as though they could. But to sit here and basically suggest they dont stand a chance...yeah Cleveland fans thought that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenn I don’t see New England losing again. Balt vs Buff this week IMO decides the #1 seed. I’m leaning 55% on Baltimore in that game. Buf @ KC is a great matchup on paper. Tenn @ Hou should be a good rubber match as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Yeah I dont think Buffalo has much better running attack. You're talking stats and I'm talking talent. Statistically Buffalo has performed better. I didn't dispute that. I've never been a blind homer. You're HOPEFUL that the Steelers lose and that somehow the Titans dont, so much so you are all but guaranteeing its gonna happen. Yet your calling me a blind homer. So you're saying the Titans are gonna beat Houston twice and beat New Orleans for certain right? And yet you're calling me a blind homer.

So you're saying the Titans are gonna beat Houston twice and beat New Orleans for certain right? And yet you're calling me a blind homer. It doesn’t matter how you spin it. If Buffalo’s averaging 47 more yards rushing per game they have a significantly better running game than you and it’s not even a discussion. “Talent” doesn’t matter if it isn’t producing. To say they’re rushing attack isn’t much better than yours is black and yellow tinted glasses at it’s finest. And nope never guaranteed we’d beat them at all. In fact, that’s not even close to what I said. I said we wouldn’t need to sweep Houston if we found a way to beat NO and OAK. Nice try though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BILLievers Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Bills D > Steelers D Josh Allen >>>> Duck Bills rushing O > Steelers rushing O That doesn't mean Buffalo will win the game but to argue against the above is homerism.

I obviously want the Bills to win out but man I will be bummed if they upset Baltimore and then lose to New England and the pats get the 1st seed over the Ravens. Weird catch 22 going on this weekend. I'll be a huge Chief fan starting Sunday at 4:25pm ET. Edited December 2, 2019 by Trentwannabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recency bias and “how do teams look lately” is how Vegas always takes your money. Although if KC does win, it could change the entire AFC Playoff Landscape. Possibly 1. Bal 2. KC 3. NE 4.

Week 17 and the wildcard would be back to back games in Houston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
