Why The Buffalo Bills Will Win
Buffalo, New York might just go Buffalo, New York.
It’s not like Baltimore is Cancun, but there’s a difference between living and working in the mid-40s and playing a football game in 30ish and snow.
Lamar Jackson has never played in the snow.
That’s not to say Baltimore can’t play in bad weather – it’s supposed to snow on Saturday in Orchard Park and be around 30, at best, during the game – and on the flip side, the conditions should be perfect for what it does. However, this is where the home field advantage side of things is supposed to kick in for the Bills.
They didn’t play all that well against an Indianapolis team that had the perfect mix of positives to pull off the win in the Wild Card round, they never had control of the game, but they were still able to take advantage of just about every opportunity when pressed.
It was a stress test for Josh Allen and a Bill team that hadn’t needed to deal with a whole lot of drama since mid-October, they passed. It’s not just about Allen, though.
The focus will be on the matchup of the phenomenal quarterbacks, but Buffalo has a defense, too. Tennessee’s defense has been rocky all year – to be nice – and Baltimore managed 401 yards. Buffalo allowed over 450 yards in each of the last two games and won, but that’s an anomaly.
If Jackson isn’t hitting pinpoint passes to covered receivers like Philip Rivers was doing early on last week, the O isn’t going to be consistent.
