My love for Dallas' streak of not making it to the champ game supercedes my dislike for the 49ers, so I am pleased with this result.

By now Cowboys fans should know exactly what us Packers fans went through every playoff season. McCarthy and Moore made numerous errors there, including calling for a punt in the first place. You don't know if you're gonna get the ball back. Might as well as take your destiny into your own hands.

Mahomes' ankle injury. All you need to know. That spread may change in one direction or the other depending on the reports as the week goes on.

The line has already moved down to 1.

That was fast.

Eagles also opened as just a 1.5 point favorite.

And that line has already risen to 2.

Cowboys just got to keep Maher distracted and tell him his next extra point is actually a field goal.
You know how some teams used to have a "kickoff specialist" for kickoffs? Cowboys just need to get an "extra point specialist" to kick those and leave the FGs to Maher.

As much as I want Mahomes to win, definitely feel like that game is looking good for the Bengals. Burrow is ice cold, Bengals have a 3 game winning streak against the Chiefs, Mahomes will definitely not be 100%. Bengals should honestly maybe be the favorites.

Eagles should have been, at minimum, -3 because I don't think you can really say it's worse than a pickem + home field bonus. I wouldn't go too far from there though.

Eagles just had two bye weeks in a row and the 49ers just spent 3 and a half hours in an actual fight. That thing might be a blowout.

They did what they were supposed to and blew the Giants out. I'm not saying make them a TD favorite. I'm thinking more like -3 or -4 and that's including the customary 3 points for home field!

Talking head in the radio on my drive to work said something interesting and I agree with it.

The Bengals are a team that is more or less built in a way that can win in a blizzard in a place like Buffalo.

The Bills aren't. As much as people kept touting how important home field would matter to the Bills, this isn't a team constructed to actually win on it's home field in December and January.

Nah, the Bills would play better in a dome. Hopefully Buffalo is a reminder to them (and others) that all RBs aren't basically the same and it doesn't matter who you have. They need to upgrade at that position so all the pressure isn't on Allen.

Most RB production comes from the offensive line. The Bills have yet to have a good one under McDermott, because defensive coaches can't figure out that side of the ball. Tomlin has the same problem.

Their planned new stadium doesn't have a retractable roof either.

You generally don't win games like that when you can't run the ball and they just can't run the ball.

In other news, the Giants are planning on signing and running it back with Jones and Barkley again next year if they can. Barkley isn't demanding CMC kind of money so we'll see how that goes.

Just get some actual quality receivers maybe.

Wouldn't be surprised if Jones is signed and Barkley is tagged.

Honestly, that makes sense, and I'd think a lot of GMs often forget how climate can make a difference in a guy's performance. A guy who flourishes with the Dolphins at home in December may struggle in a Week 18 away game against any of their rivals, as the Dolphins are an anomaly in divisional geography. Buffalo meanwhile actually benefits from playing the Dolphins in Miami in January.

I would hope that their city's destruction at the hands of snow will help the Bills realize that they really should play indoors... or take a page out of the Packers' book and build a team for the tundra.

I think people are overstating the issues with Bills being able to play in Buffalo.

Buffalo at points this season had one of the highest rushing yardage, due to Allen being quick on taking chances when they came up. He couldn't do that in this game because we were always behind, and were behind fast, so the offensive scheme became "catch-up ball" but not in a smart way.

Like, I can't fault the players too bad when the play calling was bad on both sides of the ball. Allen even played a really safe game, only giving the ball up on a final hail Mary that wouldn't have changed anything.

I think the game goes very different if Allen doesn't overthrow Diggs in our first(second?) possession, since that was a TD if Diggs got the ball.

Yeah the doom and gloom is weird. It shows no respect to the Bengals at all, either. Bills are still a top 5 team easily, and you just need an offensive line overhaul.

Saying Buffalo has issues is not disrespect to Cincinnati. The Bills need a reliable RB, plain and simple. Allen can't keep being the only guy you trust in short yardage.

If Allen doesn't have his elbow hurt, we don't have this conversation.

The offense didn't need a running back for the first half of the season. The scheme worked in the way it was run, with utilizing the RB's when needed and relying on Allen to be the playcaller.

After he got damaged, he was not the same. At that point, we needed a different offensive scheme, but didn't have the pieces for it and relied on the old ideas.

As for defense, I think what someone said about bad coaching and stellar talent might have some merit. That, or the system we had for the start of the season was figured out.

Yes, we do.

And the Bills need a reliable RB for that exact reason. Allen runs a higher risk of getting hurt when he's your primary ball carrier, and then what?

Offenses that rely on the splash play but struggle to put consistent drives together generally struggle in awful weather.

This would've been a closer game if they played it at Cincinnati. Home field hurt the Bills a lot here.
