00:00 All right, next up, we go to the Buffalo Bills and their dwindling price to win the AFC.
00:09 Buffalo has not clinched a playoff spot, by the way, but with a win on Sunday, Sunday
00:14 night football in South Florida against the Dolphins, Buffalo will claim the AFC East
00:19 Division for a fourth consecutive year.
00:22 So Donnie, just a few weeks ago, Buffalo was 10 to 1 to win the AFC, then plus 650.
00:28 Then last week it was 5 to 1.
00:29 Now entering week number 18, third best price for the Bills at plus 430 to win the AFC championship.
00:36 Buy or sell, the Bills are a true Super Bowl contender.
00:41 It's good that you asked me this question.
00:42 It's January 4th.
00:44 This is before the actual end of the regular seasons.
00:47 You know what I'm going to do?
00:48 I'm selling the Buffalo Bills right now as a Super Bowl contender.
00:50 You said, Donnie, you've been so high on the Buffalo Bills the past couple of weeks.
00:53 What gives you?
00:54 Well, you know what actually gives you, Ben?
00:56 Saturday.
00:57 I expect the Pittsburgh Steelers to beat the Baltimore Ravens.
00:59 Why?
01:00 Because the Ravens don't need that game.
01:01 The Steelers absolutely need it.
01:02 That will give the Steelers 10 wins here.
01:04 And if you take a look at this weekend, there's going to be a game in the AFC South.
01:07 The winner of that football game is going to go to the playoffs here, which means the
01:11 path is straightforward for the Buffalo Bills.
01:13 You just have to win one football game to get in the playoffs, but it's against the
01:17 Miami Dolphins and it's in Miami.
01:19 And I say to myself right now sitting here, I do think the Buffalo Bills actually win
01:23 that football game, but let's backtrack a little bit from what we've seen to the Buffalo
01:26 Bills.
01:27 Were we unbelievably impressed with that victory over the Dallas Cowboys?
01:29 Sure, we were.
01:30 That was a big spot for them.
01:31 Were we impressed that they beat the Kansas City Chiefs?
01:34 Absolutely.
01:35 But also, Ben, sandwiched in those games, pulling out a late win against a dead Chargers
01:39 team here.
01:40 That game was on the road, playing the New England Patriots dead in the water, barely
01:44 working through that game and pulling out a victory against the Patriots by under a
01:47 touchdown.
01:48 Now we're led to believe that the Miami Dolphins in their biggest game of the season are going
01:52 to roll over.
01:53 Now I get it.
01:54 You do have some injuries that you have to worry about here for the Miami Dolphins, but
01:56 Ben, it's still a road game here.
01:58 The Buffalo Bills aren't that football team that's entering in here with 14 wins, looking
02:01 to put one of the best regular seasons in football together and put a final piece to
02:05 that puzzle for a Super Bowl run.
02:07 But again, you asked me this question on a Thursday.
02:10 Today I sell it.
02:11 If the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night football win that game and head into the playoffs,
02:16 absolutely I'm buying in as a contender in the AFC.
02:19 But how can I sit here today saying like, if they lose, they don't even make the playoffs
02:23 and say, yes, they're a Super Bowl contender.
02:25 I'm going to sell that right now.
02:26 But obviously that notion will change if they do win that football game Sunday night.
02:30 That's where I stand, Ben.
