Vegas has Panthers as 3 point road favorites against the Bills.

[CharlottePanther]

Vegas has us winning by three or more. Are we just that good or is Buffallo that bad or a mixture of the two. Its kind of suprising seeing as how both us and the Bills lost a tough home opener to SB contenders and both the Bills and Panthers played them tough until the very end, yet Vegas has us as favorites.

I don't have an answer to the OP but damnit Sunday is so important. Gotta get this one.

Interesting. I would have expected something like Bills -1.5. This means that the sharps in Vegas think we are clearly a better team than Buffalo (we'd be favored by 9 at home according to this line).

It's simple:  Vegas thinks Seattle is the better team.  We lose to a better team than did the Bills, and played that team closer.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still don't trust this team, though.  Not until we can string together two wins.

They expect us to win 7 - 4 or 3 - 0 ???????

We'd be favored by 6 at home but either way that's a big spread.  It will be interesting to see how the line moves this week.  The implication to me is that we're expected to make life a lot harder for Manuel than NE did.

Yeah you're right. For some reason I was double counting the HFA points. But yeah, still a lot, basically we'd be TD faves at home.

 

edit: Actually no, I think I'm right. If you think about the "walk back", HFA is worth 3 points. Panthers are favored by 3 at Bills, which means we would be favored by 6 on a neutral field, and 9 at home. Unless Vegas doesn't take into account "neutral" fields (since that's more of a college thing).

We will win by 14.

take the Bills straight.... love this team but Buffalo is good at home, they have an elusive QB who nearly beat the Pats and I cannot recall when is the last time we beat an AFC East team.

[pantherj]

I've really had my fill of playing teams with elusive QBs who can avoid our pass rush, and we've only played one so far, and he played out of his fuging mind incredible. Makes me ill. Can't wait to play a team with a QB who can't dodge, fake out, run the wind and fire a pinpoint rocket pass 20 yards in stride. Give us that big dumb Matt statue Ryan to murder.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

I thought we would be -2, this sounds about right really.

[carpanfan96]

The Panther's all time are 1-4 against the Bills and that's counting losing to some horrible teams in Buffalo. The only time Carolina has beat them was the 05 season.  Panther's played the AFC East in 05 and 09, Carolina beat NE, NYJ and Buffalo in 05, but lost to all 4 teams in 2009.

If we lose wonder what the Vegas odds will be on when Rivera, Shula or both get their walking papers?   I think the Panthers win something like 20-13.   The only two things I worry about in making this prediction is Shula's total ineptitude (like watching Pop Warner play calling) and Buffalo needing it as badly as the Panthers do.  

 

 

 

I take back that Pop Warner comment.  I've seen 9-10 year olds throw deeper than Cam did under Shula's play calling.

Your 24 hours are up. It is fine to talk about Buffalo but quit the bitching on Shula. First of all you are wrong about Shula who called a great game and our gameolan will be very different against Buffalo making your comments totally irrelevant.
