the recent history of the Buffalo home games after a week of

On paper you would think that the chances of Buffalo Bills 4.1 4-2 against the Baltimore Ravens this week are pretty slim. A team that is as it seems, is on the fast track to a recovery in the 2008 NFL draft, the other won 13 games last year and the reduction to zero in a playoff spot the second time in a row this season. Fortunately for Buffalo, are professional football competition is not played on paper.
Perhaps surprisingly, the accounts a great chance to win this weekend and earn his second victory in the 2007 campaign. Here's how.
1. Kyle Boller plays for Baltimore.
Neither the Ravens' top two quarterbacks, Steve McNair and Boller is very impressive, but it has to mention a reputation as one of the most contradictory signal won the League, and is often terrible. McNair, recovering from a back injury, is this weekend, but will play only in emergencies. Well, it could come from contingency for the Ravens, in the form of Steelers 10 Santonio Holmes jersey
poor performance by Boller.
The defense of the Bill was the most affected in the NFL this year allowed in the course per game (421.4), but was nine to a group of Ball Hawking in the last two weeks and for the second division in the selection ( ) bound. In his 30 September victory over the Jets, Buffalo had the ball twice, twice on interventions and change '25-24 loss to Dallas two Mondays ago, forced six balls deliveries, Tony Romo, including five interceptions.
Much of the resurgence of Buffalo defense with the new No. 1 cornerback Jabari Greer, the AFC defensive player of the week to meet with the award for his performance on five interceptions against the Jets then caught a go of Romo and Terrell Owens won made a deep catch of 25 yards against Dallas.
This week, the second corner, Greer and Terrence McGee take less intimidating to join the top two receivers Derrick Mason and Demetrius Williams, Baltimore. Although Mason has an excellent 49 sacks this season, is only an average of 9.2 yards per reception and not the deep threat he once was, for his part, Williams took just 18 shots in 2007. This is not Owens and Patrick Crayton, then.
In addition, the bills are to benefit not only from the presence of Boller as a passer. What many do not know is that 26 years, seems to want the better of him, because no one fears a team with a Boller pass LED attack. Basically, the opponents' defense in a position to prove eight nine consistently stack the box against the Ravens without McNair, and the statistics.
If Boller plays running back Willis McGahee - who on average only 2.8 yards per - Buffalo to a comeback after a friendly divorce, except to make the franchise during the off season. Overall, it has been 59 transfers of Boller and was only 167 meters this year. But when the battery backfield mate McNair, McGahee ran 68 times for 358 yards of a great, good for a 5.2 per carry overall.
In view of the Buffalo defense stuffed its last two opponents of the earth, the Jets Thomas Jones (12 carries, 35 yards) and Marion Barber III, Cowboys (eight attempts, 28 yards), would not be if it is your will be surprised, and that means , D Implementing the work against McGahee is motivated. Continuous improvement to meet John McCargo is much to do.
Finally, here is another point of Boller that has a good omen for Buffalo, is lost 13 of his 17 starts as a visitor in his career. Although beyond the scope of M & T Bank Stadium, the first-round pick in 2003 has been an absolute train wreck. In Buffalo, the fans have life impossible for the Pro Bowl Romo expected nothing better from the standpoint of Boller.
2. the recent history of the Buffalo home games after a bye week.
As bad as the bills have been recently, they are pretty solid from a bye week at home - and are now just a terrible team after losing two games by a total of two points this year. Last season was the 2-5 Bills prepare two weeks for Green Bay. The result? At home 24-10 by the first volley. Before that, came in 2005 to 3.5 in their accounts Ralph Wilson Stadium after weeks of inactivity Kansas City Possible Team 10 wins face and deserves to win 14-3. Do not be surprised if they are well prepared, well rested Bills jump Baltimore this weekend. Buffalo was helped to his departure in '06, 5-4, and the defeat of the package start of the ball.
3. For all that the problem of injuries has made statements, Baltimore is not exactly healthy.
In addition to McNair, Ravens, after several injuries: defensive tackle Trevor Pryce (13 sacks last year), cornerback Chris McAlister (Pro Bowl three times and the top team), offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden (10-time Pro Bowl). It has now been tight end Todd Heap and Daniel Wilcox, OT Adam Terry and center Mike Flynn all miss the game.
If the pile, as is likely, the Ravens are struggling even more than it seems. If the bills before the elite of Steelers 10 Santonio Holmes jersey
Dallas TE Jason Witten, who had no answer for him, and been nine receptions for 103 yards and a touchdown. suppressed as how the Ravens' offense with Boller looks at the top, if you have a lot (again unlikely) game, the quarterback is not much trouble with it as a safety valve and the main purpose of the operation of the defense in Buffalo get center field . Without Heap of the Baltimore attack is over much weaker and can introduce new bills McGahee.
Bono ... No franchise in Baltimore - the Colts and Ravens - won in Buffalo since 1980th Of course it helps, because the exchange can not choose a franchise that played in the city of Baltimore since '83, but beggars.
Forecast: Do not come out as a braggart, but so far this season, Bills fans, I'm 5-0 predicting the outcome of games on your computer. Therefore, I would like to Buffalo, 16-12, in Baltimore this week.
