00:00The finale of division around weekend for what will be the

00:03final spot in the AFC Championship game between

00:06Baltimore and Buffalo in Orchard Park, the Ravens and

00:10ever so slight favorite a point and a half in the spread minus

00:14116 on the money line 14 cents of distinction against the

00:19Buffalo Bills with a total of 51 and a hook Joe, you said it

00:23right before the break, you would caution everybody to look

00:26back at week number four final game of the opening month of

00:30this season for both teams and think that will tell a tale for

00:34Sunday evening. Baltimore won big in the Charm City, 35 to

00:39ten, easily covering as a two and a half point favorite. In

00:43that game, the Ravens did what they did on Saturday night to

00:48the Steelers, rushing for nearly 300 yards, 271 to be exact,

00:53eight yards per pump against this Buffalo defense. Derrick

00:57Henry had 199 yards and a touchdown. Lamar Jackson only

01:02had 156 passing yards, but two scores, 54 yards on the ground

01:07and a touchdown. Meanwhile, for the bills, they only had 81

01:11rushing yards as a team, but that was way back at the end of

01:15September. We are nearing the end of January and the division

01:20final round. So what will be different Joe, this time around

01:23on Sunday evening in Orchard Park?

01:26Well, one of the biggest things is a venue change. Uh, we're not

01:30in Baltimore anymore. And we don't necessarily know what the

01:34weather is going to be like, or even pretend to be like come

01:38January 19th. Uh, you know, this time of year, it, uh, it could

01:42be, you know, nine feet of snow. Then by the time we get to kick

01:46off there, uh, there could be a ton of wind. So I would, I'd

01:50caution folks here, uh, that what we got in week four in

01:54Baltimore, we also got against a Bill's defense that was really

02:00banged up early on in the year. Of course, their captain Matt

02:03Milano there was not available to them. He was still working,

02:07uh, his way back there. Uh, we weren't sure Von Miller was

02:11going to be, uh, in good enough shape to be able to start

02:15making a difference for this Buffalo team. And while they've,

02:19they have figured some things out, uh, defensively to say the

02:22least there. And we just saw that on display against, uh,

02:26Denver. I do think this is going to have a different feel and

02:31listen, if Baltimore can go into Orchard Park, uh, and run for,

02:37you know, what, uh, over close to 300 yards, uh, band, like

02:40they did the first go around. I mean, if Derrick Henry, uh, runs

02:45for 200 yards, uh, Baltimore's winning the game, but something

02:50tells me, uh, that I don't think that is going to happen in this

02:55one. And I also don't think Josh Allen, who was held to 180

02:59yards, uh, 16 of 29 passing and just 81 yards on 23 carries the

03:06bills rushed. Uh, I think all of that throw it out the window. I

03:10do think this is going to be a much more balanced game for both

03:13these teams. I ultimately think it's going to come down to who

03:17has the ball last. Uh, and we have seen both of these teams do

03:21some good things against teams, not named Kansas city in this

03:25spot. So ultimately I think Ben who's got that ball last with an

03:29opportunity to get in field goal range and which kicker do we

03:33trust more.
