Computer problems caused me to miss picking NFL games for weeks 4 and 5, and I had a poor week 3 also, choosing only 7 winners out of the 16 games played, putting the season count at 30 correct and 18 wrong. I guess I’ll just consider the last 2 weekend’s games my “bye” weeks … Read More

Due to computer problems, I haven’t been able to review the last 2 Bills’ games. Those games included a heartening and much-needed road win over the Cleveland Browns and an epic second half collapse against New England in which they gave up 45 points and wound up on the wrong end of a 52-28 final … Read More

Week two was another relatively successful week for Rayonsports in picking winners of the NFL’s scheduled games. I picked 11 winners out of the 16 games played, bringing the 2 week total to 23 correct and 9 wrong. Here are the week 3 picks: New York Giants at Carolina – the Giants could easily be 0-2 … Read More

The Buffalo Bills’ home opener on Sunday was a complete reversal of the blowout loss they suffered to the Jets last week. Buffalo dominated play and had a 35-3 lead over visiting Kansas City before surrendering a couple of “garbage” time touchdowns to the Chiefs to earn a 35-17 win. Last Sunday, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw … Read More

Opening weekend for the NFL was a pretty successful one for Rayonsports in picking winners, as I managed to get 12 correct out of the 16 games played. Here are my picks for the second week: Chicago at Green Bay – the longest-running rivalry in league history continues at Lambeau Field, where Green Bay was … Read More

The standard line all teams use about the beginning of every new NFL season is – don’t pay attention to anything that happens in the preseason, because it never translates into the regular games. However, the Buffalo Bills’ opening game of the 2012 season against the New York Jets looked as bad as any of … Read More

 The Buffalo Bills did very little in the preseason to instill confidence in their fan base that they’ll be able to make any improvements this year. They lost all 4 games and none of the games was very inspiring. However, history shows you can’t put any stock in exhibition game results when it comes to predicting regular … Read More

The National Football League’s 2012 regular season begins this week, and this year really snuck up on me since the opening game is being played on Wednesday night. There are always surprises that take place on the opening weekend, and it’s generally the hardest week to pick winners. I haven’t posted on this blog in … Read More

In trying to think of a way to describe the 2012 Buffalo Bills’ draft class, the best phrase I could come up with is “under the radar”. After making a big splash in free agency by signing Mario Williams and Mark Anderson to beef up their pass rush, the Bills went through the 3 days of the … Read More

  Back in January, in Part 4 of a season-ending report card on the Buffalo Bills, I wrote a post naming New Orleans receiver Marques Colston and Colts’ defensive end Robert Mathis as the top “fits” for the team to pursue in free agency as it looked to improve next season. One comment that I … Read More
