Any news on Benford. Bills en route and he’s not in their social media posts

There's nothing to watch today and it's making me cranky.

What about Thurman's playoff game vs the browns 

 

13 catches for like 150 yds 

Yep, and they threw the ball to Ronnie instead, at the end, on that fateful day.

Same here! This is big news and keep checking for someone to update.  If he’s with the team now, he’s almost certainly playing whereas if he’s not then status is bleak

This game needs to be a James Cook - Josh Allen run special. The Chiefs have been terrible against the run since the Bills beat them in Week 11. Getting something like 200 yards plus and controlling the clock would lead to the best chance of winning in my opinion. Can the Bills O-Line dominate the Chiefs like they did in the first game?

I agree. If I'm the Chiefs, I would sell out to stop the run and keep him in the pocket and throw to his slow receivers who don't get much separation, putting McDuffie on Shakir. Still not great, since Samuels has speed and Kincaid and Knox can catch (and then fall down), but it's a better option than letting the Bills run all day long, which they will do. In fact, they may still pull it off if KC does stack the box, that's how good the run game has gotten.

Fantastic read, this team is mentally ready.

I was just leaving the party i attended the prior night as that game was starting. Montana was out of the game soon after i got home.

 

It was a great weekend all around.

Spread has moved from -1.5 to -2.5 for KC. Concerning? I know there’s probably a lot of late money that hasn’t come in yet but the line moving away from us makes me nervous

The betting public that loses more often than not is making you nervous?

I heard 70-75% of the money coming in is on the Bills, so wouldn’t the line move KC’s way to entice more bettors to throw money on KC?

Opposite

Yeah just working that math in my mind, if they wanted more money on KC the line would move in the Bills favor. Can’t explain the one point difference then, a starting safety missing the game wouldn’t move it.

Brown is great, but VanDemark is outstanding OT depth…not sure there’s a huge drop off.  Believe me, KC would love to have VanDemark on Sunday.

There is absolutely a huge drop off between VenDemark and Brown.  You are going from a top 5 RT that can be left on an island to a serviceable platoon tackle that the other team WILL try to exploit.

 

Brown also gets to the second level in the run game at an incredible level.  VanDemark can’t do that

No the line suggests that the opposite is happening. The books are trying to entice Buffalo money by giving them more points. The casual bets skew everything and make it hard to track.
