The 2012 Buffalo Bills’ season can only be described as disappointing. I didn’t bother reviewing the last couple of games, as the review would have been just beating a dead horse. To their credit, they at least rose to the occasion and gave their loyal home fans a good show in the finale, beating an … Read More

Picking 9 winners and 7 losers last weekend added up to another week of mediocrity for Rayonsports.com in picking NFL games. The season record now stands at 114 correct picks and 65 incorrect. Here are my choices for week 15: Cincinnati at Philadelphia – although the Eagles are out of playoff contention and rumors are … Read More

Buffalo Bills’ coach Chan Gailey hit the nail on the head earlier this season when he said the problem with his team was that they couldn’t “finish”. It’s great that the coach had a handle on what his team needed to do to get over the hump, but unfortunately, it’s also his job to figure … Read More

I seem to have hit a wall of mediocrity in my weekly NFL predictions, as I only got half of them right last week, picking 8 winners out of the 16 games played. My winning percentage for the season has taken a hit in the last couple of weeks, with the season tally now at … Read More

For the Buffalo Bills, Sunday’s contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars shaped up to be a feast-or-famine situation. It was a contest at home against a perceived inferior opponent, so a win was to be expected.

The Bills, however, … Read More

I had an extremely successful week picking NFL games in week 11, nailing 13 winners out of the 14 games played, to push the overall season record to 90 games correct and 41 wrong. This week’s games feature 3 contests on Thanksgiving, including the traditional games played in Detroit and Dallas, and an interesting AFC … Read More

The formula for winning games for the Buffalo Bills proved itself again in their prime time AFC East battle with Miami on Thursday night. That formula is – when QB Ryan Fitzpatrick doesn’t turn the ball over, they win. Fitzpatrick has certainly had better games statistically this season, but against the Dolphins he protected the ball, … Read More

For week 10 in picking NFL games, I wound up with 8 winners and 6 losers. I counted the tie game between the Rams and 49ers as a loss, figuring that since the game didn’t have a winner, I didn’t pick a winner. I now have picked 77 winners, against 40 losers, for the year. … Read More
