Am I the only one impressed by how the spreads are so small? Cardinals Bills at just 6??? I feel like I am missing something

Week 1 is always a wild card.

Just a hypothesis (may not be correct):
Generally do spreads grow or shrink as we get closer to kickoff?

I feel it is going to change just based off of betting action as well as possible injuries to be announced!
reply
Yes. I noticed that too. Maybe it's the unpredictability of week 1.
reply
There are a lot of question marks week 1, because we haven't seen anything yet.

For some of them yes but I mean Cardinals at the Bills??? All of them being ~3 or less is just insane
reply
Cards have a sneaky good offense this year imo
reply
who is their OC or playcaller?
reply
Same as last. Drew Petzing, kinda an unknown.
Main reason I like them is Kyler is a year removed from his ACL and they got Marv Harrison. Trey McBride is a top 5 TE and Michael Wilson / Dortch are solid WR 2/3.
James Conner + Trey Benson are pretty solid runners too.
A lot of talent on offence that is pretty under the radar.

Do they have an O line though? With Kyler continuously getting hurt he is going to need it to protect him!
reply
On paper their oline should be serviceable. They were a top 5 rushing team last year believe it or not.
Kyler’s only had 1 major injury too being a non contact ACL tear. Made him miss end of 2022 and beginning of 23
He was an assistant under Kevin Stefanski in Minnesota and Cleveland

Good? or better?

I've been kind of surprised how many commentators seem down on the Bills this year.

Yeah I am not sure if I missed something or not but Diggs wasn't some super-needed piece for them. I will be pissed though if he is the cancer rumors say he is and messes with my Texans!
I was also pretty shocked to see the Browns favored over the Cowboys... look I hate the Cowboys but again what pieces did they lose that would make you think ahhh nope. Dak is playing in a contract year and cannot be tagged thanks to his contract wording. Do people still rally expect Watson to perform? Again bias Texans fan but he seems just beat and washed.
reply
Diggs contract is for only one season.
Browns are at home, their defense played better at home last year

Yeah I was a fan of voiding the two other years tbh. This will either make or break him and I like the Texans depth at WR already
reply
For Buffalo, I think missing Milano on their defense is the bigger deal, but I'm not worried about them.
I think people forget how good the Cowboys are in the regular season, because the last we usually see of them is an embarrassing playoff exit.
reply
Milano is a big loss for their defense
edit: looks like he is done for the season after missing most of last season

I mean the Bills didn't exactly struggle last year though which is why it just seems odd to me esp since who knows what the Cards will look like
reply
Cardinals should be better this year. Not good, but better and I think Vegas isn't sure what to make of the Bills yet with all their departures and a couple notable injuries. Seems a little light but for week 1 it's not too far off.
reply
The Seattle spread seems high

Yeah it does esp. when you factor in how the other ones are... 4 seems more likely than 6
