00:00because if the odds track if the numbers are correct even close to what we expect

00:05on Sunday night in Western New York again I say look at these numbers we are

00:12in for a great game a potential instant classic that we remember ever in the

00:18NFL postseason the Ravens a one-and-a-half point favorite less than

00:2320 cents of difference on the money line minus 118 for the flop even money plus

00:28100 for the bills 51 and a half is that total so again if the odds makers are

00:35close this game is expected to be decided by a point and feature about 50

00:41plus points in the matchup Donnie do you believe for what we see in Western New

00:47York the numbers will follow suit I don't they're gonna follow suit in the

00:52game because I do expect it to be close and also understand this when you're

00:55just reading lines here you got to be kidding me right the Buffalo Bills the

00:58number two overall seed coming in healthy into this football game an

01:01underdog in their own building now we've seen division round matchups in the past

01:05few years where maybe the road team is favorite case in point to Philadelphia

01:09Eagles when they had Nick Falls a quarterback they were underdogs all the

01:12way through in the divisional round and also in the NFC championship game so we

01:15have seen a precedent but that precedent only comes forward because you lose a

01:19quarterback as an injury here you didn't lose Josh Allen he's healthy

01:22playing some of the best football of his career and they opened him as a favorite

01:26minus one and a half and shift them to a plus one and a half now if we take a

01:29look at the game itself 630 start Buffalo New York what are the

01:32expectations cold 15 degrees at kickoff dipping to around 10 degrees by you get

01:38to the fourth quarter it's not going to be windy and no precipitation or lake

01:42effects no expected right now in the forecast so it will be a crisp cold but

01:46clean slate in this game and the one thing that we look at is each one of

01:49these teams with their quarterbacks absolutely electric in the pocket can

01:53throw the football with the best of them can run the football with the best

01:56of them to running backs that are elite and say wait a second we know Derek

01:59Henry's elite well then you haven't been watching the Buffalo Bills run the

02:03football this year with mr. cook in the backfield having a sensational season

02:06Pro Bowl level absolutely leads the NFL at least was up there in rushing

02:11touchdowns so I think this game is going to be one on the ground which means yes

02:15we could be in for points Ben but I don't envision the four plays 76 yards a

02:21minute and 20 type scoring drives we're looking at moving the sticks to hard

02:25hitting defense this year getting after in cold weather conditions where style

02:29points aren't on the line a trip to the AFC championship is on the line so for

02:33me probably tends to say for me so you know what Donnie we're gonna sit there

02:36on a Thursday I actually sit under the 51 and a half
