00:00Like this Buffalo Bills game, it's a critical game.

00:03But for me, I'm now schedule watching or game watching the Denver Broncos.

00:10Because I think if you're the New England Patriots, the division is pretty much wrapped up.

00:15Like even if you stub your toe and you lose to the Buffalo Bills, you have so many tiebreakers against them.

00:25They basically have to really, they're going to need you to lose a couple games, right?

00:29So it's going to be interesting to watch the Denver Broncos and knowing that they have four tough games remaining and see if they could stub their toe twice for you to at least be able to take that number one seat.

00:44Because that's the most important thing right now.

00:46And what you're going to have if you lose to the Bills on Sunday and the Broncos win, the remaining games are going to really be not meaningless, but you're talking about jockeying for second or third in the conference.

00:57And there's a potential that you may want to be the third seed if the sixth seed is going to be better.

01:02You never know.

01:03That Belichick used to brilliantly do that when he had Matt Castle chuck it into the fifth row when they wanted to avoid the Steelers in the first round.

01:10So I don't, I mean, I think they win on Sunday.

01:14I actually think it's by a touchdown or more.

01:17And I, the Bills are what Cam Newton called the Patriots.

01:23They're fool's gold because they've been so close for so long that we think they're just as good.

01:28But if you watch that Bengals game, like they're sloppy.

01:31Right.

01:32And we're losing deep into the fourth quarter.

01:34Yeah.

01:35That was at home.

01:36And you have this Patriots team where you're going to be at home.

01:39And they had a really good plan for Josh Allen.

01:42I don't know the last time the Patriots did that good of a job of keeping him contained.

01:46Right.

01:46So I try to do it again.

01:47And especially, yeah, and that's the thing.

01:48You look at that Cincinnati Bengals game.

01:51Joe Burrow throws back-to-back interceptions.

01:53One's deflected and the other one's.

01:55That shot put interception touchdown was unbelievable.

01:58And the other one's intercepted by a defensive lineman who he's just trying to, like Shime said, shot put.

02:03And then it's third and 15 and you give up a 20-yard run to Josh Allen at the end of the game.

02:10But I would ask the room the question, not Shime, because obviously I don't know.

02:14He's the betting expert and I don't know how he would bet.

02:17If you had to bet, who's more likely to potentially lose this Sunday?

02:24You got the Patriots versus Bills in New England or Denver hosting the Packers.

02:31If you had to bet.

02:32I think it's Denver.

02:34I think it's Denver.

02:35The Packers are hot right now.

02:36Because the Packers are coming on a lot.

02:39Denver's hard to play, though.

02:41In Denver.

02:42In Denver is tough.

02:43You played there.

02:45I didn't.

02:46But I would say, I would agree.

02:47They haven't lost at home all year.

02:48Yeah.

02:49I would agree that it's a very difficult place to play.

02:52But Green Bay is playing very good football right now.

02:55No.
