Sportbook betting latest news are informing that the Buffalo Bills have fired offensive coordinator Turk Schonert. This is a big surprise considering the Bills open the NFL betting regular season a week from Monday against the New England Patriots. Rarely do teams make such radical changes in the preseason as sport book tells us but the Bills chose to make a move.
Sportbook betting fans know that the Bills are the third team to change offensive coordinators this preseason, something that simply never happens. The Chiefs fired Chan Gailey and the Bucs fired Jeff Jagodzinski. The Bills were expected to be much improved this season and a serious sportbook betting contender with Terrell Owens but their preseason results have been dismal. Owens has not played since the sport book preseason opener and the offense has been horrible. The first string offense has not even scored a single touchdown in 15 possessions in the five preseason sportbook betting games.
This would have been Schonert’s second season as the coordinator of the offense. Last season the Bills were 25th in the league in offense as sportbook betting stats tell us. It has been speculated that the move was made by owner Ralph Wilson Jr. who was at Thursday’s night’s preseason sport book game against Detroit when the Bills stunk it up again.
Sportbook betting has the Bills replacing Schoner with quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt although he could share that role. The Bills were trying to go with a no-huddle offense this season but the results have been a mess. The Bills have 279 yards, 15 first downs and 3 points in 15 series this preseason as sportbook betting stats tell us. The bills have been outscored in the first half as sportbook betting numbers showed, 75-12. “It didn’t seem like we were progressing,” Jauron said, “It was a decision I needed to make and I did it.”
Part of the problems for the Bills is a head coach in Jauron who has never won anything. It also doesn’t help the Bills in sportbook betting that they are starting two rookies on the offensive line. Now it will be up to Van Pelt to get the Bills going and impact sportbook betting. He is starting his fourth season with the team as a coach as sport book stats indicate. This is the sixth offensive coordinator for the Bills since the start of the 2001 season as sportbook betting info shows. Buffalo is a 10.5 point underdog at the online sportsbook in their season opening game against the Patriots.
