00:00Let's circle back to the schedule here, and the Bills, of course, going to play a tough one.

00:04The good news is after this game, of course, against the Baltimore Ravens,

00:09they do have their tougher games at home, so that's good at high mark.

00:12They've got the Chiefs in November, the Bengals, high-octane offense in December,

00:19and toward the end of the season, they will play the Eagles there.

00:22And as we know, Dan, the Bills have that strong home field advantage

00:26in the months of December and January, so that's good news for them.

00:30Absolutely. Their toughest games are at home, and that's great,

00:33and the Bills were perfect at home last season.

00:35And that's why when I look at this game, I think the Ravens are more talented.

00:38I think they're a little bit healthier now.

00:40I know they have a couple of injuries banged up,

00:42but there are still some question marks heading into this game for the Bills.

00:45My heart says it's the Bills at home because they've just been so good in these spots

00:51in the regular season.

00:53My head just doesn't know if they have the horses or the dogs for this fight.

00:59And I go, they don't want to overreact, and it's a lot of young players,

01:03first times, first NFL starts, all of these things.

01:05And we were kind of joking around on the Buffalo Plus podcast the other day going,

01:09hey, don't overreact.

01:10Like, whoever comes out and whatever happens week one, don't overreact

01:14because they will be a different team, whether it's health or experience,

01:17by the time they get to the playoffs.

01:18Remember, last season, week four, the Ravens blew the doors off

01:22of an injured Bills team, and they came back and beat them

01:25in the divisional round in the playoffs.

01:27But this is week one of the NFL season, Craig.

01:29This is the prime time to overreact.

01:32There will never be more overreacting than after week one of the regular season.

01:35So to try and keep things into perspective,

01:37but when you have Josh and Lamar on Sunday night primetime TV,

01:41it's going to be hard not to overreact one way or the other.
