2008 Buffalo Bills NFL Betting Preview - Betus Sportsbook

Buffalo Bills
2007 Record: 7-9
ATS: 10-6
Super Bowl Odds: 80-1

The Bills had trouble scoring points, preventing the opposition from scoring points,and staying of injured reserve last season, yet they still managed to post a respectable 7-9 record and a lucrative 10-6 mark against the spread. Of course, five of those victories came against the Dolphins (twice), the Jets (twice), and the Ravens, three teams that combined for a mere 10 victories in 2007. That means it’s probably too early to consider Buffalo an up-and-coming team in the AFC. Still, the Bills feel they now have a couple of key pieces in place for the future in QB Trent Edwards and RB Marshawn Lynch. The rookie Edwards took the starting QB job from incumbent J.P. Losman last year and he’s expected to begin 2008 as the Bills’ leader on offense.

Edwards threw for just over 1600 yards in 10 games in 2007, with 7 TD strikes, 8 interceptions, and a passer rating of 70.4. Lynch was also a rookie last year, but he managed to rush for over 1100 yards and 7 scores in just 13 games. Wide receiver Lee Evans stumbled a bit in 2007, but he still caught 5 TD passes and picked up 849 yards through the air; he could recapture his 2006 form this season. Buffalo’s defense got a boost in the off season with the acquisition of tackles Marcus Stroud and Spencer Johnson and LB Kawika Mitchell, and they used their first-round pick to add CB Leodis McKelvin. Head coach Dick Jauron will be expected to lead his team to wins in the gimme games once again in 2008, but he’ll also be looking to knock off 1 or 2 of the good teams along the way.
