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.
