Weak 13 Patriots @ Buffalo

[Southieinnc]

27 NFL Experts have released heir picks for the Patriots vs Bills Monday night.

9 Experts have picked the Bills
18 Experts have picked the Patriots

They state the same things that we've stated in here. One says that the Bills have two identities and never know which one will show up, because they've lost every other week over the past six weeks. If they continue that schedule, they're scheduled to lose this week.

We know that they always play the Patriots tough, especially in Buffalo.

I will not be surprised by whichever outcome. Kinda don't like everybody picking the Pats.

Ryan Clark picking the Pats is his way of doing a reverse jinx!

The early forecast for Monday Night Football in Buffalo looks pretty gnarly.

As of Friday afternoon, Meteorologists were calling for temperatures in the high 20s with a wind whipping at between 20 and 30 mph. It’s supposed to rain in the afternoon and that precipitation may or may not die off by the 8:15 p.m. kickoff. In other words, it’s going to be very Buffalo weather.


Bill Belichick's Comment:

"Good. We won't have to worry about overheating."

"We've practiced in heat, rain, cold, dry, cool. We'll play football and let the weatherman worry about the weather."

Games to watch today:

Ravens/Steelers. A Steeler win puts the Patriots at #1
Broncos/Chiefs . A Bronco win gives the Patriots a huge breathing space.
Bengals/Chargers. Patriots beat the Chargers and a Charger win today puts spaves between the Bengals and Pats
Giants/Dolphins. Dolphins have the tie breaker and are on a 4 game win streak. A Giant win takes the Fins out of the playoffs for a week
Colts/Texans. Texan win really sets the Colts back. The Patriots have the Colts next in Indy.

Standings:

1. Ravens
2. Patriots
3. Titans
4. Chiefs
5. Bengals
6. Bills
7. Chargers

If the Playoffs were today:

Chargers v Patriots
Bills v Titans
Bengals v Chiefs

Ravens have the Bye

If this was the way things were

#4 Chiefs v #1 Ravens
#3 Titans v #2 Patriots

Where do YOU think the AFC Championship game would be played??

My guess? Chiefs v Patriots in Foxboro

On to Buffalo!

Bengals/Chargers. Patriots beat the Chargers and a Charger win today puts spaves between the Bengals and Pats
Chargers are taking it to the Bengals
Giants/Dolphins. Dolphins have the tie breaker and are on a 4 game win streak. A Giant win takes the Fins out of the playoffs for a week
Looks like the Dolphins are about to win their 5th in a row.
Colts/Texans. Texan win really sets the Colts back. The Patriots have the Colts next in Indy.
Appears that the Texans left their game in Houston

Regardless of seeding I was hoping the Bengals would pull an epic comeback but the Mixon fumble likely solidifies that ain't going to happen.

I maintain my position that the Pats final game against Miami is going to be a tough one. Everybody is talking about the Bills and Colts but Miami is just as tough as those teams and likely tougher than the Colts.

Everything fell into place. No changes in the divisional standings but the playoff picture is completely different:

Standings:

1. Patriots
2. Titans
3. Ravens
4. Chiefs
5. Bills
6. Chargers
7. Bengals

The Patriots can begin to cement these standings tomorrow night.
If the Bills win, this gets totally changed and everything flips if both the Bills and Chiefs win.
Denver can send the Chiefs to #5 tonight and move the Bills to #4.

Gotta admit, this is an incredible year when so much is on the line in Week 13 of a 17 week season.

Again, Buffalo hasnot beaten a team with a winning record.
Their stats show the excellent rushing and afainst rushing.
However, when you look at their losses, the opposing teams average 140 yards rushing while Buffalo averages less than 100!
1st half, both teams are going to need to run the ball.
New England isbrutally strong in 2nd half.
Buffalo is 1st half or nothing.....

 

[BigKen]

Tomorrow is supposed to be warm, heavy rain, tapering off but extreme winds gusting in excess of 60 mph with the temp dropping from 55 in mid day to 28. Throwing a football deep in 50 mph winds is less than 50/50 no matter how strong your arm is. From all indications, the better running team will have a huge advantage.

 

[YankeeRebel]

With the Pats now atop the AFC this game now has huge consequences to it. This should be a dandy.

The Ravens have a very difficult remaining schedule making Harbaugh’s decision to go for two yesterday that much more of a head scratcher.

The Pats also have a difficult road ahead but pretty cool that they are in charge of their destiny at this point considering the way the season started.

Ravens are ravaged by injuries and lost All-Pro CB Humphrey last night for the season. They'll be lucky to make the playoffs. Harbaugh figured that the Steelers would make the mistake that they did, but he he had confidence that Jackson would throw a better pass. Andrews barely got a hand on the pass, or should I say finger?

Are you saying we at the hoop should talk about nothing until after the game?

I agreed with the call before the play so I won't disagree with it now. The view is this: The defense is at a disadvantage as the game goes on. By the time OT hits, the corn flip practically decides the game. BlahBlaugh decided executing the one play had a better chance than the coin flip.

I think everyone is waiting until the game at least starts. Ain't much left to say.

Then again, there's always politics. Religion. Not getting enough sex or stuffing.

So does Mac coming out slinging the ball or a heavy dose of Harris/Stevenson?
