Buffalo Bills: 2010 NFL Season Betting Preview

Buffalo Bills
(+14250) – Odds to Win the Super Bowl
(Over 5.5, +120: Under 5.5, -140) – Over/Under Total Wins
(+385) – Odds to Win Division

Oh the Buffalo Bills. I must say, I have a little more hope for them with Dick Jauron out of the picture, but by no means do I expect them to play like a contender. They certainly have a talented trio of running backs, and 1st Round Draft Pick, C.J. Spiller is a talented touchdown maker indeed – something the Bills had a very tough time scoring in 2009. But as much as offense was a problem for Buffalo (and it will likely continue to be in 2010), their inconsistencies defensively will hurt them again. While their secondary ranks out pretty well (allowed just 184 yards per game, 2nd in the NFL), it might be a false statistic – I mean, why pass on a talented ball-hawking secondary when you can just run? Most teams figured that out and decided not to pass at all, and that worked out pretty well for the Bills’ opponents as Buffalo gave up 156 rushing yard per contest, good for 30th in the NFL. Buffalo did take a tough DT (Torrell Troup) and a DE (Alex Carrington) in 2 of their first 3 rounds of the draft, but this team needed lots of help and they still don’t have an answer to their reoccurring question at quarterback. TO is gone, and say what you will, he was their best pass catching weapon by far. They have a completely new coaching staff, but at least it’s one that highlights the teams’ strengths – running the football. The Bills Super Bowl Odds are huge for a reason, even in a blue-moon type situation 10 total wins is probably the limit and there’s no way to win a Super Bowl with 10 total wins. At least I don’t think so… Winning the division seems impossible with 3 very solid teams ready to give the playoffs a run. Over/Under 5.5 wins, I’d lean on over. They had so many injuries last season, and they were all playing for a coach on the way out – never easy – and they still won 6 games. With a decent running game to lean on, 6 wins seems like a good bet to me.
