Top seed teams in playoffs earned home games for revenue. Would be interesting how many Bills fans showed up and greeting KC/Bengals fans got. If KC is playing Cinci that means we are out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Atlanta actually makes perfect sense in terms of getting people to the game. Damn near everywhere east of the Mississippi flies direct into Atlanta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
