I think any rookie QB will have trouble facing a pressure based defense with blitzers coming from who knows where. And yes the Bills have some injuries, but they put up 32 on the Patriots (admittedly not a top defense) which shows they can score. And what have the Titans shown thus far? beat Tampa Bay, lost to Cleveland and the Colts. I guess we'll find out on Sunday but I'll be in Vegas Friday and if other gambling goes ok I may take a swing at this one.
seems too good to be true to me....Rex Ryan defense should eat up a rookie QB
Betting the Bills they are desimated with injuries. They may win but they'll be doing so without a starting RB, or WR.
am not sure why you would think this spread should be higher. The Bills are 2-2, having only beaten a Colts team (that is struggling mightily through 4 games and is lucky to be in the AFC South) and a Dolphins team who already fired (how ridiculous is that) their head coach. They travel to Tennessee with a rookie QB, no semblance of a ground game, and their star WR banged up. Their vaunted defense couldn't make a crucial stop against the Giants last week (at home no less) and they are about as undisciplined a team (I am sure they are among the league leaders in penalties) as you can fine. Their head coach is still obsessed with the Patriots (that was 3 weeks ago). I would say they are lucky to be 3 point favorites.
Besides, when a road team is 3 point favorites, that's BIG spread. If this game were in Buffalo, it would mean the Bills were 9 point favorites (take 3 away from the Titans being at home and add 3 points to the Bills for being at home). So the odds makers, in spite of all the flaws the Bills have, still think their is a huge talent discrepancy between the two teams.
Fortunately, I am only fan, and don't bet on football. It's a weekly crap shoot.

s I said, if this game is in Buffalo, the Bills are a 9 point favorite and you wouldn't think twice about it. The sports books are still saying that there is a great talent discrepancy between the two teams.
The Titans were 2-14 last year and are a below average team with a rookie QB. The Bills should win the game and the line reflects it. Not a game I would bet on, but hey, as we say when a hobbyist takes a flier on an unknown provider: It's your cash; spend it as you wis
