Thanks Buddy.  Interesting to see Vegas, which has no biased hatred against teams, has the Bills as 2nd most likely to win the next Super Bowl, ahead of 30 other teams some of whicdh receive much praise on here, and only narrowly behind the defending champions.  These people know the NFL, and have predicting it down to a science.  While public perception plays a part, that also speaks against the narrative a small, dedicated cadre of BIlls haters on here are trying to promote.

Can you see Terry Pegula now thinking, "Gee, Vegas has us near-top odds to win the Super Bowl, we were #2 scoring in offense and defense despite a season of combined adversity, but I really think my odds would be better if I ignored all of the positives, focused narrowly on the small amount of negative, and held a fire sale to get rid of these bums(coaches and players)"?   Thankfully, Terry does not fall prey to people who can only profit through manufactured problems.

I think it's rather cool and somewhat useful that while far from official, Vegas serves as in essence the closest we have to an off-season scoreboard.   Obviously, unlike in politics(other than very infrequent elections(assuming you believe in their integrity even), the public/sharps can at any time speak their disagreement and apply corrective measures.  Vegas will do it's own adjustments as things change in the off-season.  Among the haters on here,  I'd wager money they are rooting hard for the Bills odds to get worse for whatever reason, because this in essence destroys their overall narration of d*mnation of the Bills team/organization.

I appreciate you, keep up the good work!

I think even within the sports entertainment discussion it still matters.  For example, did you not say already that the Bills were going to the Super Bowl next season?  So at least in that example(the only one I am focusing on), it would seem the odds are speaking correctly.  I mean even if sports entertainment is used to the maximum of what the law entitles it to be used, apparently the NFL places a high value on having a certain percentage of fans still believe in the integrity of the game, and in spite of all we have seen, from reading here you can see they have managed to be quite successful at it.

I mean KC being favored doesn't matter

I can see Bills odds growing. No way people will bet on them to win at 2nd best odds. Maybe +1000.

Who cares. We've been the favorite or close to the last 2 years and we have not gotten past the divisional round. 

 

What matters is that we are going to go back to trying the saaame thing again. With the same defensive scheme and the same guy calling the plays. Expect similar results.
