If the Bills the playoffs, are they the most overrated team of all-time?

Hate has already cost him money and looks like it will cost him more.

That said, it appears the NFL may be in the process of RIGGING it for Miami.

According to the Buffalo News, the Bills and the Dolphins will have the crew of Alex Kemp calling the game. They throw the second most flags of any crew in the NFL (behind only the crew of Land Clark), but the bigger news is which direction those flags are thrown. Kemp's crew averages 7.13 flags against the visiting team, the most of any crew. That's not what you want to hear when you're the visiting team.

So the Bills have to win beyond the margin of cheating. Not impossible, but another factor this team will be forced to overcome.
Why would they be rigging it for Miami and NOT Buffalo?

so if the dolphins lose, I’ll just say the game was rigged so Buffalo could get the 2 seed to make up for the Demar Hamlin injury last year.

thanks Jojo!!

Such a tough game for me, I want them both to lose badly

I'm guessing I'm pulling for the Fish, that can take out the Bills. Then the Fish lose once they're on the road against a decent team

If the NFL rigs games it would just be to keep games entertaining and close. I think the scandal of rigging coming out would hurt much more than the benefits of rigging. But for the sake of argument the Bills winning allows both MIami and Bills into the playoffs which I think is beneficial. I doubt the NFL want these trash bag backup QBs for Colts or Steelers in the playoffs.

Do you guys ever use umpire analytics in MLB? I know people who mine that type of data to their advantage in games quite profitability under certain conditions.

The idea that zebras dont factor in outcomes of NFL games is ludicrous and ignorant. I've already posted how easy it is to stall or advance drives with holding penalties alone since that type of subjective call could, in theory, be called on every play. So it's not the only factor, but definitely a factor.

I'm beginning to think the word "conspiracy" in these parts is code for, "I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, so I'll throw out a pejorative and hope people don't notice I'm a simpleton!"

Ideally, the Bills clinch before kickoff and this game won't matter as much as people think. The Dolphins having clinched already care less at this point, not like they've circled this game in their locker room as their SB or anything. Seeding overhype is for fans and bettors. Players are just relieved and happy they've clinched. Also, they'll want to avoid any serious injuries at this point.

"The combination of Miami getting blown out in Baltimore and the Dolphins' mounting injury list makes this line what it is, If this game had been played a month ago, maybe Miami would have been favored, but not now. Buffalo sleepwalks against bad teams and plays well against good teams."

"And the wiseguys would be all over Buffalo at anything south of 3."

Both dolphins and bills fans want the 2 seed

something tells me that both the bills and fins coaches just want playoffs and health.

Would love the 2 home playoff games but need a healthier team.

gonna be cold in KC next weekend. I’ll take 70 degrees in south Florida

6 Dolphin Pro Bowlers with Tua as the starter, Allen not even top 6 QB. LOL

Delusional.

Yet another subtle indicator where the league is leaning..

So you'd rather have the #2 seed with Tyreek hurt vs the #6 seed with everyone healthy?

Gotcha.

70 degrees...sound amazing right now.
This is a small reason buff is the play IMO...fins need health and right now the week before the playoffs... it's not there.

Steelers are one the more popular teams in the league, maybe only behind the Cowboys, so I doubt the NFL is rooting against them.

Buffalo hasn’t been sleepwalking

They just haven’t been playing well
