All teams do it, this is a stupid take. I will add though, there seems to be a lot more "talk" this season from analysts who are former players and coaches that the refs might have agendas.

Beck Water Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Joe B article. https://theathletic.com/4111837/2023/01/21/bills-bengals-playoffs-prediction-preview/?source=nfltw&redirected=1 Quote Prediction: Bills 26, Bengals 20 The last time these two teams squared off, I picked the Bengals to win. But two significant changes from the last matchup could have outcome-flipping potential. The first is the potential for Oliver and the defensive tackles to get to Burrow with multiple plus-matchups against the interior offensive line. The second is the biggest shift, and that’s with the improvement of cornerback Tre’Davious White, the implementation of a high-ceiling player in Kaiir Elam into the starting lineup and how they can better match up with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins than Dane Jackson and White from three weeks ago. Above all else, the Bills’ defense has more answers to the test than they did on Jan. 2. It will not be easy for either unit, and there is potential for an early defensive struggle between these two passing offenses and excellent defensive coordinators. It will likely be an uncomfortable game all afternoon and evening for both sides. Ultimately, I think the Bills have enough offensive firepower to best the Bengals’ output, and the Bills’ defense has just enough working in its favor to help guide the Bills to a close victory.

Him getting out of the way and letting me hear Al Pacino perform one of the greatest scenes in sports cinema? Yea. I can get behind that. Especially after Devin's game sealing run last week was every bit a game of inches. Fight for those inches tomorrow gentlemen, because it will be the difference between winning and losing.

News Flash the NFL sells playoff tickets prior to the games happening. Why is this such a big deal now? Exactly. Selling tickets early is nothing new but all of a sudden its a big conspiracy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistically low odds of him reffing a loss this season The whole ticket this is so over blown, were you really gonna risk that fans of both teams would book and plan a trip to Atlanta in 7 days. The price of that trip goes up dramatically with such short notice Give fans a few weeks or close to month and now all of a sudden you have fans ready to buy tickets Also love that giving money back/refunds is something that the NFL or ticketmaster doesn't want to do.......they already did it with the unauthorized codes Edited January 21, 2023 by Cheektowaga Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a pick ‘em game for sure. I just watched the NFL preview and 5 picked the Bills, 5 picked the Cats. All picked a close game.

Last Guy on the Bench Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Process said: Lmaooooooooo One of the silliest things I've ever seen. And it shows how easy it is to manufacture conspiracy theories. Point: NFL is selling tix for Atlanta and has to return the money if the game doesn't go ahead. Counterpoint: as many people have pointed out, they are selling tix for all possible playoff hosts and have to return the money for all of those that don't go ahead. Point: When Cheffers refs the Bills have a great record over the last few years. Counterpoint: When anyone refs the Bills have a great record over the last few years. Point: When Cheffers refs, home teams win 60% of the time. Counterpoint: Home teams win 55% of the time anyway, so he would be a small outlier. And normal distribution would typically include small outliers - it's not like every single ref would have exactly 55% as their home team winning percentage. Not to mention that even if Cheffers is slightly more influenced by the home crowd than others (debatable - he gives an anecdote about one game where the visiting team was penalized a lot after a bad call against the home team - fantastic "proof" - you can find any pattern of calls you like if you only need to offer one game as "evidence") then that's just part of the home field advantage the Bills earned by only losing 3 games, unlike the Bengals. I'd like to say this video is unusually dumb, except we see this kind of weak sauce conspiracy weaving out of cherry-picked, out-of-context facts all the time in politics, culture, internet "science," etc. Edited January 21, 2023 by Last Guy on the Bench 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 If Kingsley Jonathan is active, I almost wonder if it’s more of a “do your job or we’ll find someone who can” message to the DE’s. Also, wonder if 5 DE’s might mean more Rousseau and/or Basham inside pass rushing, given the OL issues of Cincy and the fact they don’t run the ball well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moneyline is Bengals +200. I mean toss $50 on the Bengals +200 and if they lose then the bills are in the AFC Championship. If they win then the bills lost (sucks) but you have $100 in your pocket. I think the Cinci money line bet and taking the points are both great bets. However, I can't bet the Cinci money line. My heart just wont go there. Plus I think the Bills somehow someway win by 3. Edited January 22, 2023 by newcam2012 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
