Opponents' records

[PATRIOTS-80]

Raiders -- only home win this year was against the Jets in OT. They beat the Chiefs at the beginning of the year, and three weeks ago beat the Broncos in Denver.

Cardinals -- Are 3-5 against anyone not in their division. They are 5-0 in the division. They are 3-4 on the road. They are 2-1 against the AFC, beating the Fins and Bills, but losing to the Jets.

Bills -- haven't won an division game yet.

Hopefully that changes this week.

Don't forget the Cards are 0-3 in games on the East Coast losing them by a combined total of 72-128 (an average game score of 24-43).

As much as we think teams that have nothing to play for would prefer to dog it and play for a better draft pick I don't think that's what winds up happening.

I think the players and the coaches all have a lot of pride and that a team with a losing record is much more intent on establishing a winning environment than worried about moving up a draft spot. We saw that yesterday and we've seen that in past years as well, with a tough fought game by a team with "nothing" to play for except the pride of finishing a season on a winning note.

I guarantee the players won't take anything for granted - if they needed a wake up call they got it yesterday.

Well, the Raiders may have no choice but tank it. It may be that Andrew Walter may be starting on Sunday. Walter was horrible with Moss and Porter to throw to. He is even worse now.

Don't bet on it...Buffalo is the Detroit Lions on the AFC.

And the jets are 0-3 on the west coast with one more game left out there....

What?

Ever hear of the Cincinnati Bengals?

Re: Opponents Records

Buffalo is due for a win, a falling Jets team is coming to town. They could very well make it a 2 team race if MIA and NE handle business.

Are you kidding me? The Lions would kill for 1 win, let alone the 6 that the Bills have this season. As WhiskeyBreath pointed out, the Bengals are pretty pathetic in their own right.

Errr.... no.

There are far worse teams in AFC than the Bills!

Anyway, the Bills have wins!

At the end of the season, players don't play for Draft Picks, they play for their jobs and extra money in their contract or FA negotiations.
