Fearless Freddie’s Football Forecast

BYE-BYE. The excruciating loss suffered Sunday by the Buffalo Bills in Philadelphia realistically all but eliminated them from the playoffs.

Winning their final five games is highly doubtful, especially since Miami, Kansas City and Dallas loom in a December to unlikely remember.

One can only hope the Bills can use their bye week to turn things completely around, and then take advantage of losses by key AFC rivals.

Finally, they must shake off the stench of the absolute worst officiating performance in recent memory. The Bills have more than a handful of plays to submit to the league office for review and receive a well deserved but hollow and meaningless apology.

HOME teams are capitalized. Teams picked to win the game are listed first, followed by the expected margin of victory. The official Las Vegas odds are in parentheses.
