Versatile Levitre provides Bills' O-Line stability

Posted November 17, 2011 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Andy Levitre,  Ryan Fitzpatrick,  Eric Wood
TEAMS: Buffalo Bills,  Miami Dolphins
Buffalo_bills_2009_baee
Ready to start at his third different position this season, Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Andy Levitre is pretty sure he could fill in anywhere. Even quarterback, Levitre jokes. Don't worry, Ryan Fitzpatrick need not be looking over his shoulder, because the Bills are counting on Levitre to continue his jack-of-all-trades role in providing stability to what's become a banged-up offensive line. After opening the season at left guard, and then moving to left tackle, the third-year player will make his debut at starting center Sunday. That's when the slumping Bills (5-4) attempt to restore their early season momentum in traveling to play the Miami Dolphins (2-7). Levitre is making his latest switch after Buffalo lost Eric Wood to a season-ending knee injury in a 44-7 loss at Dallas.

Denver’s 17-13 win over the Jets last night could prove to be a big help for the Bills. The win lifted Denver to 5-5 and dropped the Jets to 5-5. New York is now a half game back of the Bills. Should the Jets and Bills be battling each other for a Wild Card spot (perhaps premature with teams ahead of them right now in the AFC for the Wild Cards) the tiebreakers go as follows to...

Thanks for the money the past few weeks, Shanny.Let’s be real: a lot of people love football because it’s the easiest and funnest sport to gamble on. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
