LOL:

The number 2 seeds also gives us the chance to play at home for the AFCCG, like KC did in 2021 when they were the 2 seed. Plus, I hate Miami and want to put them in their place Sunday.

Mass switches in the maps today, mostly to show playoff games of interest to the affected areas. Some questionable decisions by FOX too. Upstate NY still on the meaningless NYJ-NE game. The only areas that should be getting that game are NYC, all of New England, and Albany, but this is FOX we are talking about. UPDATE 2: CBS Early Baltimore MD; Harrisburg PA: CLE-CIN to JAX-TN (Fri) Birmingham AL: ATL-NO to JAX-TN (Fri) Quincy IL; Marquette MI: JAX-TN to ATL-NO (Fri) CBS Late: all Colorado stations; San Diego and Palm Springs CA; Las Vegas and Reno NV; Casper WY: KC-LAC to CHI-GB (Fri) Birmingham AL: CHI-GB to PHI-NYG (Fri) (Mass switches off the meaningless KC-LAC game. San Diego fans of the Chargers are really angry, as this will be the first LAC game not shown there since the team moved. Also, Alabama cowtowning for Jalen.) FOX Early: Salisbury MD: MIN-DET to TB-CAR (Fri) (Philly fans want to monitor Tampa Bay, their likely WC opponent.) FOX Late: Billings MT: SEA-AZ to DAL-WSH (Fri) Bismarck ND: DAL-WSH to LAR-SF (Fri) Rapid City SD: DAL-WSH to DEN-LV (Fri) (Billings switching to DAL-WAS the wrong decision given the Settle fans in the area. Bismarck is cowtowning for Carson Wentz, who is starting for the Rams. Didn't even realize he was still in the league.) All maps have been updated.

Yes (as @JESSEFEFFERsaid above): https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/josh-allen-jokes-christmas-gifts-getting-expensive-for-buffalo-bills-offensive-line "Josh Allen Jokes Christmas Gifts Getting Expensive for Buffalo Bills Offensive Line Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen made sure to reward his offensive linemen with Christmas gifts, though he thinks a better plan may have saved him some cash. "That play has reaped the linemen some rewards come Christmas time. Allen joked on Tuesday that his wallet took a hit. “It’s getting a little crazy now, so I gotta, I think I started off too strong,” Allen said. “I think I should have continued to casually build my way up, but they deserve it.” There’s no word on what Allen had in mind just yet, but one-upping last year’s gift – personalized scooters – may be a challenge. For keeping Allen healthy, there isn’t a price too high to pay."

Just paste the url here. It usually will post as a pic if the url is in pic form (.jpg., gif, .png., etc.). Otherwise, screenshot it, save it, and attach a file in the post (command to attach a file is below the post box, with the paper clip symbol).

Peter Schrags has the Bills playoff scenario wrong: This is the scenario for Buffalo, as we know:

But NBA still has divisions, and if you win a division, you don't necessarily get home-court advantage in the first series.

In that scenario. the Bills would host the Colts in the WC (I think). Why do you prefer playing Indy over Pittsburgh or Houston? Are they the weakest one right now?

May have already been posted, but this thread is too long to read:

LOL:

A Baltimore posted this, which is probably how a lot of fans feel:.

Hey no problem! I never realized there were so many Aussie fans here until this year. I think the travel abroad for the teams is hard and I wish there were a better way, but I am thankful we have so many international fans. Especially in Europe, where some stay up into the late morning to watch our Bills play in primetime. Dedication to the max!

UPDATE: FOX Late: New Orleans LA: DAL-WSH to SEA-AZ (Thu) Map has been changed.

Updated just now to add American Forces Network.

Buffalo usually beats Miami big though no matter the place:

Neither the Browns nor the Lions have won, let alone been to, a Super Bowl. So this would guarantee a first-time winner.

Thank you both! This means a lot. Between the maps, announcers, and this, I am sort of glad the regular season is coming to an end since it's a lot of work, but I also enjoy it and contributing to the TBD community. Now onto the playoffs and more (keeping my fingers crossed)!
