Fortunately for the OPIHI, they have a stable of stud WRs (Chase, Olave, Flowers, Ridley) to pick up the slack.

FACT CHECK: 
& MISLEADING
The Opihi fail to mention that the Preds are without their top 2 WR's with both AJ Brown and Cooper Kupp on IR due to week 2 injuries.

FACT CHECK: MISLEADING
Cleary there is homerism on the Preds roster, but all 3 are actually legit studs at their positions (Allen and Cook are among the top players at their positions and Shakir is a rising star).

FACT CHECK: 100%
No self-respecting Buffalonian eats at Anchor Bar, they may have invented Buffalo's famous Wings but their wings actually SUCK! Better wings can be found at pretty much any bar in Buffalo, or at WNY favorites such as Duff's, Gabriel's Gate, Wingnuts and Bar Bill (though the Preds are not fans of Bar Bill's wingsauce).

I expect this week to be no different."

FACT CHECK: 100% and MISLEADING
The Opihi fail to mention that this so called "prediction" doesn't factor in the actual starting lineup for the Opihi and has NO QB started and Josh Jacobs currently in the lineup with no projected points at this time as he is Questionable at the moment). Add in Minshew's Projected points and say Brandin Cooks 15.99 projected points over the 0 points currently listed for Josh Jacobs and suddenly the game is a toss up with just a 2.24 pt spread. Anything But "AUDACIOUS".

Then again... you just might be surprised at what the Opihi bring to this divisional battle in upstate New York. Stay tuned!!!

OVERALL FACT CHECK: We'll See
Any given Sunday, but clearly when you weed through the lies and misleading statements, you can see that this game is far more likely to be close than the Opihi claim.
THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH:
The Preds lead the All-Time Series* with the Opihi 19-10, including coming out on top in 9 of the last 10 meetings between the two clubs.
*Stats are only available from 2006 onwards. Unfortunately the earlier history of the league was wiped out when MFL changed their setup.
