00:00The Buffalo Bills at home taking on the New York Jets, the Jets, four wins in trying to climb.

00:06That was my favorite win total coming into this year, under nine and a half.

00:09Love to see it.

00:10But in terms of this game, the Bills laying eight and a half points, 46 and a half is that total.

00:16Two quarterbacks, contrasting ends of their career here, Joe.

00:21It's going to be an exciting one, but it seems to be all about the Bills.

00:25Can we just stop this Aaron Rodgers absolute sideshow of the year from the Jets?

00:30So here's the problem.

00:33And we're starting to see the Jets get a, you know, starting to get some money because

00:38this thing was as high as 10, 10 and a half points when it opened up their dubs.

00:43But with the Chiefs winning and clinching the number one seed,

00:48what are the Bills playing for here?

00:50Exactly.

00:50Even against the New York Jets, right?

00:52They've, you know, they can beat the Jets with their eyes closed.

00:55Who are we kidding here?

00:56Um, they didn't look great, uh, you know, at all against New England,

01:02uh, but the conditions were, you know, minus six degrees.

01:05It wasn't great there.

01:06New England always plays them tough, even in Orchard Park.

01:10Uh, but I mean, I don't know what to tell you.

01:12I mean, the Jets have played Buffalo tough over the years.

01:17I think five and five against the number in the last 10.

01:20Uh, they've lost by three in the first go around this year,

01:24but the Bills have won three of their division games,

01:27by the way, by just three points this season.

01:30Uh, Alan, keep this in mind.

01:32Oh, and eight against the number in his last eight games

01:35as a favorite of double digits or more.

01:38That's what this opened up with.

01:39But it certainly has seen the New York Jets get money.

01:42And a lot of that had to do with the fact that simply Buffalo has absolutely

01:48no motivation in this game whatsoever.

01:53Having said that, I think the best way to look at this game

01:56is give me the under.

01:57The Jets have concerns on both sides of the ball,

01:59especially the offensive line.

02:01Some injuries, the defense and the secondary has some problems.

02:05I think if I'm going to look anywhere,

02:07I'll probably look because the Jets start so slow.

02:10I'd probably look at Buffalo to come out,

02:13handle their business early in the first half dubs,

02:16and then just kind of hold on and coast in the second half here.

02:20Can't trust the Jets on the road at Orchard Park.

02:22I trust Buffalo not to try to live and play in a do or die spot

02:27like they did against New England last week.

02:29I think the bills early in this game are worth a bet,

02:33maybe even the first quarter,

02:36not a bad look as I expect Buffalo to open up the game,

02:39march down the field, score a touchdown,

02:41and they will be off and running.

02:44The bills to get it done,

02:46but question marks of the motivation and if they can,

02:49in fact, cover that margin.

02:51On the flip side of this one for the Jets,

02:53Joe, very disappointing season.

02:56It just hasn't worked.

02:57It seems like it's a toxic environment in that clubhouse,

03:00over in that locker room led by the one and only Aaron Rodgers.

03:04It's never Aaron Rodgers' fault.

03:06Surprise, surprise.

03:06But what is the point of keeping the aging quarterback

03:10that you've spent an absolute gazillion on in this one?

03:12Why have Aaron Rodgers out there?

03:14Devante Adams, he's still listed as questionable.

03:17Why risk it coming in for week 17

03:19if these are the guys that you want to try and build around

03:21in possibly trying to have another push

03:23at this thing next year?

03:25What is the point of keeping Rodgers in this one?

03:29Well, yeah, well, I mean,

03:30he has said that he is going to play it out.

03:33But to your point about Devante Adams,

03:35he has not practiced, I don't believe at all.

03:38He has been at practice, but he has not practiced.

03:43So who knows whether or not that means he's going or not.

03:47Like you mentioned, it is questionable.

03:52I would imagine he probably goes,

03:54if Aaron Rodgers is playing, if Devante Adams can play,

03:56he'll go out there and play.

03:59But also important on the Buffalo side is that,

04:01don't forget that game against New England,

04:03they had four defensive starters,

04:06not in the game last week there.

04:08It does look as if Matt Milano will be back here.

04:11He's been practicing all week.

04:13He was a full participant in practice yesterday.

04:16That's huge for that linebacking crew

04:18and that defense of the Buffalo Bills.

04:21And like we had said, the Jets have some concerns

04:24on the offensive line,

04:26who's done a pretty good job over the last month or so.

04:29But the injuries, again, starting to pile up there.

04:32Can't trust them at this point.

04:34Buffalo, though, looks like they're going to get

04:36some of those defensive starters back on the field this week.

04:39And that's good news for them.

04:41And I would, if I was going to look at the Jets,

04:44I would probably look at Brees Hall

04:46and maybe his rushing prop,

04:48given the fact that Buffalo and that run defense,

04:52not exactly great last week,

04:54not exactly great over,

04:56oh, I don't know, the last four or five games.

04:58So maybe the Jets spend a lot of time running

05:01Brees Hall left, Brees Hall right,

05:03until the Buffalo Bills can stop them.

05:05So maybe that's not a bad prop to look at either.
