Buffalo has never been known as a great sports town but the Bills had a great run during the 1990s when the they dominated NFL betting action qualifying for four straight Super Bowls, although they came up short every time. But since the retirement of the great Jim Kelly, the departure of Thurman Thomas and Bruce Smith this team hasn’t had much to celebrate when it comes to NFL odds action.

This year probably won’t be much different in that regard as this team has plenty of weaknesses and only a few strengths. Almost every NFL betting guru is already picking this team to finish last in the AFC East, again. Granted, the Bills play in one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL odds with the Pats, Dolphins and Jets all expected to contend for a spot in the playoffs this year, but the Bills wouldn’t be competitive in any division.

The biggest problem for the Bills this season is the same as it’s been over the past decade: poor QB play. Trent Edwards looked like he had the makings of being a solid starting QB in the NFL betting action but after a rotten season last year, despite having an adequate O-line, good running game and superior WRs; he was a disappointment as the Bills finished 6-10. Granted he only played in 8 games last season so it’s very difficult to make a judgment on such a small sample size but he was only pace to pass for 2300 yards and had a TD/INT ratio of 6/7.

This year will be his year to either prove he’s the QB that this team needs to win in the NFL betting or he’ll likely go by the wayside. The only problem is the Bills don’t really have anyone else to play QB. It’s hoped that Brian Brohm might develop into a starter but Buffalo does not have a favorable history when it comes to such things.

One bright spot for the team’s offense is rookie CJ Spiller. He’s never played a down of football in the NFL odds action but he has the potential to be a major game breaker with his speed and all around talent.

On defense the team is switching it a 2-4 under new head coach Chan Gailey and the results are far from guaranteed. Anyway you look at it appears that 2010 will be but one more year of disappointment for the Bills fans.
