Plenty of money to be made if anyone thinks they have a 50% chance. Too much uncertainty re: conditions in the stadium 49 hours from now. If the wind is 40 mph as kickoff approaches, run to/log on your favorite sports book if it still gives you those odds! And bet the under. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the wind is 40 mph as kickoff approaches, run to/log on your favorite sports book if it still gives you those odds! And bet the under. There isn't that much uncertainty. It's going to be 25-30 mph winds with 45 mph gusts, there will have been a foot or more of snow that has already fallen by game time from afternoon Saturday thru early Sunday and it will be snowing heavily for much of the game.

SoCal Deek Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 19 minutes ago, Big Turk said: Because unless they are in this area and have years of experience they don't know their ass from their elbows in these events because they have never actually forecasted these events. The models give guidance but the actual forecasts are based off of a LOT more than this with these events which come from many years of experience and seeing how similar scenarios played out previously. There is far more granularity required than what they are going to have...a slight wind shift can cause the snow to move 10 miles and cause one place to get buried and another to get nothing. There is no way for these big outlets to forecast that properly. They are fine 99% of time, just not when truly localized events like this happen. Oh come on. You don’t think that ALL outlets have access to the local models? Of course they do. Now, that doesn’t mean they’re going to rely on them but I guarantee that they have the internet.

Dick_Cheney Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Is this whole storm so fast moving that if the game were moved to Monday, the weather would be clear and just cold as hell with no more snow actually coming down?

FilthyBeast Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Ya'll know I'm one of the most negative folks here when it comes to this team. But come on, regardless of if the weather is terrible....the Bills literally have an abominable snowman type of creature of their sideline and the Steelers have a guy named Mason Rudolph. If they are built to win and dominate in this type of game they never will be. If the Bills do lose this game it's going to be because of coaching (especially ultra conservative decisions), not because of the weather so buckle up and have some confidence in this team! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerBillsFan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 48 minutes ago, Dick_Cheney said: Oh yeah, totally. People should shrug off deadly blizzard conditions and go about their business as if everything were normal. In fact, a multi billion dollar organization should play a game for fun and entertainment in the middle of it, and have nearly a hundred thousand people travel to assemble in one central location! I think that would be good, and smart, and also safe. Let's do it. Funny,we did it for decades before. So yes...now we have become weak and pathetic.

As I understand your point (it’s not going to be markedly better on Monday), I reject it. I’ve lived through it. I won’t be good in Monday if the snow is as forecasted, but it will be light years better than what the current forecast indicates will be a blizzard on Sunday. 7 minutes ago, SoonerBillsFan said: Funny,we did it for decades before.

BigAl2526 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I haven't followed the thread, so this might have been mentioned, but weather modeling as we approach the game Sunday has trended toward the worst case scenario as far as the weather is concerned. Models show a persistent band of heavy lake effect snow over Orchard Park to go with high winds and cold temperatures. It's going to be miserable for fans, not to mention dangerous driving. If you don't dress for it, you're at risk for frost bite and hypothermia. For players, add the issues of footing and the challenge of throwing and catching a hard, slippery ball that will be affected greatly by the wind. The Bills need to be sure they have the right footwear and receivers had better have the right gloves. Running the ball and stopping the run will be critical.

The Governor also released a video message to New Yorkers updating them on the latest forecasts and urging caution as the storm moves into New York."
