do you think the phins are deserving of being only 1 point underdogs? i love my dolphins but thats a lot of respect they are getting from vegas after getting bitched around a bit the past couple weeks.....i hope the win by ten, but i think they patzed this spread up a bit. they will need their A++++++ game to even win.
 
And it's a rivalry game. I wouldn't touch it.
 
Home field advantage is worth 3 points for handicappers, which means that if they thought the game was evenly matched, Miami would be favored by 3 in this game.

The fact that they're 1 point underdogs means that handicappers believe the Bills are 4 points better than Miami.
 
As a Dolphins fan, I really could never bet against the Fins.
But as a gambler, that really looks like a slam dunk for the Bills. The Fins just don't have the secondary to hold Edwards and Evans, and the Fins don't have enough firepower to score against the Bills stout D.

24-17 Bills
 
I think it's almost exactly right.

Take the Dolphins and the point, the Dolphins are going to win.
 
I think the Bills should be favored more. Sure, we are going to play them tough, but that doesn't mean that the game is even going to be within a touchdown when all is said and done. We just don't have the playmakers to come out on top.

I don't get it either. It's the tieing of a porkchop around the baby's neck to get gamblers to play like pitbulls on the game, I think.
 
With the exception of jacksonville the bills have not beaten a respectable team yet. and yes the dolphins are a respectable team as well as a rival divison.

I've never much cared for the gambling thing myself, or even fantasy football for that matter. It distracts from the fact that actual football games are played on Sunday and reduces the efforts of many to pawns in somebody elses game. I wouldn't care that much except for the fact that half of the people who call into sports radio are more concerned with who to play on their fantasy team than their supposed favorite team winning. I miss the thrill of sports radio talking about the outcome of the actual sports.

I never gamble unless I'm sure. Then it's almost like not gambleing. In the Army I gambled pushups :D I tend to like shows without call ins because most callers are dumb.....Regardless of what they like.
 
We're home, why we are even underdogs is beyond me. The Bills are a good team but we're not talking about the Brady led Patriots here.
