The finale of division around weekend for what will be the
00:03
final spot in the AFC Championship game between
00:06
Baltimore and Buffalo in Orchard Park, the Ravens and
00:10
ever so slight favorite a point and a half in the spread minus
00:14
116 on the money line 14 cents of distinction against the
00:19
Buffalo Bills with a total of 51 and a hook Joe, you said it
00:23
right before the break, you would caution everybody to look
00:26
back at week number four final game of the opening month of
00:30
this season for both teams and think that will tell a tale for
00:34
Sunday evening. Baltimore won big in the Charm City, 35 to
00:39
ten, easily covering as a two and a half point favorite. In
00:43
that game, the Ravens did what they did on Saturday night to
00:48
the Steelers, rushing for nearly 300 yards, 271 to be exact,
00:53
eight yards per pump against this Buffalo defense. Derrick
00:57
Henry had 199 yards and a touchdown. Lamar Jackson only
01:02
had 156 passing yards, but two scores, 54 yards on the ground
01:07
and a touchdown. Meanwhile, for the bills, they only had 81
01:11
rushing yards as a team, but that was way back at the end of
01:15
September. We are nearing the end of January and the division
01:20
final round. So what will be different Joe, this time around
01:23
on Sunday evening in Orchard Park?
01:26
Well, one of the biggest things is a venue change. Uh, we're not
01:30
in Baltimore anymore. And we don't necessarily know what the
01:34
weather is going to be like, or even pretend to be like come
01:38
January 19th. Uh, you know, this time of year, it, uh, it could
01:42
be, you know, nine feet of snow. Then by the time we get to kick
01:46
off there, uh, there could be a ton of wind. So I would, I'd
01:50
caution folks here, uh, that what we got in week four in
01:54
Baltimore, we also got against a Bill's defense that was really
02:00
banged up early on in the year. Of course, their captain Matt
02:03
Milano there was not available to them. He was still working,
02:07
uh, his way back there. Uh, we weren't sure Von Miller was
02:11
going to be, uh, in good enough shape to be able to start
02:15
making a difference for this Buffalo team. And while they've,
02:19
they have figured some things out, uh, defensively to say the
02:22
least there. And we just saw that on display against, uh,
02:26
Denver. I do think this is going to have a different feel and
02:31
listen, if Baltimore can go into Orchard Park, uh, and run for,
02:37
you know, what, uh, over close to 300 yards, uh, band, like
02:40
they did the first go around. I mean, if Derrick Henry, uh, runs
02:45
for 200 yards, uh, Baltimore's winning the game, but something
02:50
tells me, uh, that I don't think that is going to happen in this
02:55
one. And I also don't think Josh Allen, who was held to 180
02:59
yards, uh, 16 of 29 passing and just 81 yards on 23 carries the
03:06
bills rushed. Uh, I think all of that throw it out the window. I
03:10
do think this is going to be a much more balanced game for both
03:13
these teams. I ultimately think it's going to come down to who
03:17
has the ball last. Uh, and we have seen both of these teams do
03:21
some good things against teams, not named Kansas city in this
03:25
spot. So ultimately I think Ben who's got that ball last with an
03:29
opportunity to get in field goal range and which kicker do we
03:33
trust more.
