 In fact Buffalo would be favored or even money in every playoff game if this ends up being the field.

How so?

 

The Bills were overwhelmingly SB favorites before the season, then a 4-0 start seemed to confirm it. 

 

As you know, they're 5-4 since then, not exactly SB material.

 

I'll be happy to be wrong.

Well for starters we are favorites on the road Sunday vs one of the top seeds. We were -5.5 point on the road vs Houston. Mind you, before they got hot and with a back up QB, but at most we are even money in that game. It's possible we would be +1 vs Denver, but I would even expect that to go to even before kick. It's just the reality man. I'm saying what the odds will be because I'm into that. If you agree or not is another story. I largely agree. But with that it's not easy to win 3 in a row to get to the Super Bowl with largely 50/50 outcomes. Even three 60% outcomes is a  22% likelihood. So it's a long road, even if the worst we see is a toss up.

Some of you guys are a little nuts here regarding Denver. I hate to say it, if they get home field as the #1 seed, they're SB bound.

 

Remember, Denver is a dangerous place to play for any team. Denver & Seattle are really tough on visiting teams, no way the Broncos are going away easily. 

Any away game in the playoffs is hard.  Even Josh’s record is not good. Only the chiefs have managed to win road games in the playoffs 
 

The ability to host the AFCCG gives a big advantage to go to the Super Bowl.
