The Buffalo Bills postseason drought reached 12 years last season as they finished up with a 6-10 record. The NFL Playoffs may not be in the cards for Chan Gailey’s squad this season either, but if the latest Buffalo Bills 2012 NFL Predictions at Sportsbook.ag are any indication, the franchise is on the cusp of a turnaround. The Bills are favored to win Over 7.5 games (-180 odds) and they are a middle of the pack play, at +2000 odds ($100 to win $2000), to win the AFC Championship Game. The latest Super Bowl Odds have the Bills listed as a +4000 moneyline selection to bring the Lombardi Trophy back to Buffalo.

The Chan Gailey era in Buffalo has been a lackluster one to this point, but the Bills do appear to be moving in the right direction. The team had a busy off-season, bolstering a defense that ranked 29th in points per game allowed by adding defensive ends Mario Williams and Mark Anderson through free agency and a potential difference maker at corner in first round draft pick Stephon Gilmore.

Those additions alone should prevent the kind of collapse Buffalo experienced last season as its 4-1 start turned into a 2-9 finish. Cantor Gaming would seem to agree with that assessment; the Vegas based odds maker, which released its 2012 NFL point spreads for weeks one through 16 in May, has the Bills favored in eight of its 15 lined games.
