Now, we did learn a couple of other things today,
Craig, about some teams,
and certainly injuries have been a topic of conversation all year long.
It finally seems that Lamar will practice yesterday,
will practice today.
Looks like we got Lamar Jackson back under center
on Sunday in Buffalo against the Bills.
We have seen the hook disappear.
Now minus three.
But I am at the point with this, I believe it when I see him.
I'll believe it when I see it.
And quite honestly, it took the whole month off.
Do we have any idea what we're getting
from Lamar Jackson in Buffalo here on Sunday?
Yeah, I don't know, but this is one of the games
that I'm very tempted to take the Ravens.
Very tempted, yeah.
Even though the Bills are off the bye.
I don't know.
Like, I suspect that this series giving points
is not a good idea for whoever it is when
they play each other.
But, you know, Buffalo, to me, Joe,
it just feels like, are we watching the same exact
season for the Bills that we watched a year ago?
I feel like it's exactly the same.
The Bills are really good.
They're going to win a lot of games.
They're not going to play good defense.
They're going to get a bye.
They're going to win in the first round, it's going to be close,
and then they're going to lose, and that's going to be the end.
Like, what's going to change about
Buffalo this season? I'm not so sure.
So, Ravens are formidable when they have Lamar.
It's a completely different ballgame
that makes them one of the best teams in the NFL.
So if I had my choice in this one,
it would just be take points from either team, wherever it would be.
The only question, I guess, Joe, is that if the game, if Lamar
was playing and the game was in Baltimore and you knew in advance,
would the Ravens be three point favorites over Buffalo
or would it be like a pickle?
Because I don't think that you could give three points
to Buffalo in a game this season.
It's so true. Total is 54 and a half, too.
Right. So what they're telling you already.
Don't expect a lot of defensive stuff.
I mean, it wasn't like Baltimore stopped Joe Burrow last week.
A great first half, but that was only
because the defense wasn't on the field
and the Cincinnati defense couldn't get off
the field in the first half there.
But the reality is, that second half, Joe Burrow and they just...
Nice them up here.
How is that going to be any different on the road
in Buffalo with a total of 54 and a half?
That's my question is what defense gets enough stops
in order to be able to win this game?
Or is it just going to be another one of these 44, 41 wild shootouts
and a field goal is going to end up winning it at the end, right?
I it's 54 and a half is a big number, but when it's that big.
It's for a reason here,
and I don't think I trust either defense this year.
Sorry, because I think if Joe Burrow can light you up,
I'm fairly certain
Josh Allen at home in Buffalo is going to have
no problem putting points up on the board here.
