Smell the cheese on this one . the consensus is 75% for the Bears
Let break it down for you and tell you why the Bills win outright
Chicago ranked dead last vs the run , they cant stop the run additions of jared allen and willie yonge will not fix that problem . jared allen replaces a better julius peppers and wilile yonge doesnt fix the problem .
the bills had the 2nd best run attack last year while playing from behind the whole year . cj spiller is a very versatile running back with break away speed and holds a 5.7 ypc carer mark the highest since enetering the NFL , fred jackson will spell him from time to time and the bills should control the clock and manage 2nd year qb ej manuels pass attemots
the buffalo offensive line is exactly that 5 buffalos lined up avg height and weight is 6'5 335 , the battel will easily be won in the trenches
when the bills need to go to the air . they will throw to Sammy Watkins who is a bigger stronger faster black wes welker to paint a picture fairly , mike williams comes over from the Bucs and USC standout wr Robert Woods enters his sophmore year out of the slot .not to mention US olympian Marquise Goodwin who will stretch the field .Speed Kills and buffalo has alot of it . A mobile Qb ej manuel has taken alot of flack from the media . but when i watched his game tape from a injury riddled year i see talent , the same talent that had him be the only qb picked in the 1st round . the weapons are there grant it besides the running backs they are all unproven but thats more hard to prepare for then a veteran .
now the bears have a loaded offense to go with that awful defense .
cutler / forte / jeffrey / marshall / bennett thats awesome
but zero offensive line
cutler has been the most sacked qb the last 3 years
buffalo ranked 4th vs the pass
Buffalo has the best defensive line in football 3 pro bowlers from last year and the 4th guy on that line had 10 sacks
mario williams , marcell dareus .. Kyle williams ... jerry hughes the bills had the 2nd most sacks in the nfl last year with 57
they also had the 2nd most turnovers behind the seattle seahawks
buffalo defense is its strong point . sure the bears will put points up but its not going to be easy like everyone thinks it will .
the bills were 26th vs the run but additions off season aquistions have really fixed the problem the bills have allowed the least amount of rushing yards in preseason football .
the formula the seahawks used to beat the packers was run the ball and play defense .
take the worst rushing defense in chicago who also allowed the most yards in the nfl duriing preseason and a top 5 defense and the plus 7 points buffalo is getting seems to easy
allow the media to sway you hense the 75% consensus but i bet out of that 75% no one actually knows whats going on in buffalo .besides theyve sucked for 15 years (no playoffs) the buffalo bills are sneaky good
good luck to everyone , my money is on the plus 7 and sprinkle a ML
