The Buffalo Bills lost to the New England Patriots in a shocking upset over the weekend. Most Bills players and coaching staff were in a foul mood following the defeat, but at least All-Pro receiver Stefon Diggs still had a sense of humor.
Players are aware the NFL is a multi-billion dollar industry, and although the players are well compensated, players rarely speak on the betting industry or fantasy football, even though it has risen in popularity throughout the years.
Diggs gave us a brief glimpse into how he feels about bettors and how his play can positively and negatively impact their bottom lines.

Diggs posted on X, formerly Twitter, “I ain’t going lie. I do be feeling a lil bad when I f*** up yaw parlay… or fantasy.”
The Bills dropped a game they should have handled with relative ease against a Patriots team with little motivation to win football games, given the franchise’s direction.
Can the Buffalo Bills Still Contend in the AFC?
The AFC is loaded, and the conference is getting stronger by the day. The window to catch the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs may have come and gone. The Chiefs struggled to begin their 2023 title defense but have rebounded and now have the best record in football.

The Baltimore Ravens looked like the best team on the planet on Sunday, as they dismantled the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions. The Ravens seem to have found their way in the new-look Todd Monken offense, and Lamar Jackson has returned to MVP form.
The Miami Dolphins have more speed than any team in the NFL. The Bills defeated Miami soundly a few weeks ago, but these two AFC East rivals will meet again this season, and the Dolphins continue to lead the division with Buffalo floundering.
Don’t forget the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati has struggled out of the gate with an ailing Joe Burrow, but following their much-needed bye week in Week 7, the Bengals should be as healthy as they have been all season.
The Bills can still contend, but they have some housecleaning to take care of first.
Buffalo seems to miss a consistent secondary pass-catching option. Diggs is a remarkable No. 1 receiver, but Gabe Davis disappears for stretches of games, and rookie TE Dalton Kincaid, albeit talented, has yet to emerge for the Bills. Perhaps Buffalo will be one of the more active teams before the NFL trade deadline.
