00:00Now, we did learn a couple of other things today, Craig, about some teams, and certainly
00:04injuries have been a topic of conversation all year long.
00:08It finally seems that Lamar, full practice yesterday, full practice today.
00:15Looks like we got Lamar Jackson back under center on Sunday in Buffalo against the Bills.
00:21We have seen the hook disappear, now minus three, but I am at the point with this, I
00:29believe it when I see him.
00:31I'll believe it when I see it.
00:33And quite honestly, he took the whole month off.
00:35Do we have any idea what we're getting from Lamar Jackson in Buffalo here on Sunday?
00:42Yeah, I don't know, but this is one of the games that I'm very tempted to take the Ravens.
00:48Very tempted.
00:49Yeah, I just, even though the Bills are off the bye, I don't know.
00:53Like, I suspect that this series giving points is not a good idea for whoever it is when they
00:58play each other.
00:59But, you know, Buffalo, to me, Joe, it just feels like, are we watching the same exact
01:07season for the Bills that we watched a year ago?
01:09I feel like it's exactly the same.
01:11The Bills are really good.
01:12They're going to win a lot of games.
01:13They're not going to play good defense.
01:15They're going to get a bye.
01:17They're going to win in the first round.
01:19It's going to be close.
01:20And then they're going to lose.
01:22And that's going to be the end.
01:23Like, what's going to change about Buffalo this season?
01:25I'm not so sure.
01:26So, Ravens are formidable when they have Lamar.
01:28It's a completely different ballgame.
01:30It makes them one of the best teams in the NFL.
01:32So, if I had my choice in this one, it would just be take points from either team, wherever
01:37it would be.
01:37The only question, I guess, Joe, is that if the game, if Lamar was playing and the game
01:41was in Baltimore and you knew in advance, would the Ravens be three-point favorites over
01:46Buffalo or would it be like a pick-em?
01:48Because I don't think that you could give three points to Buffalo in a game for this season.
01:53The total is 54 and a half, too, Craig.
01:56So, what they're telling you already is don't expect a lot of defensive stop.
02:01I mean, it wasn't like Baltimore stopped Joe Burrow last week.
02:05Great first half.
02:06But that was only because the defense wasn't on the field.
02:10And the Cincinnati defense couldn't get off the field in the first half there.
02:14But the reality is that second half, Joe Burrow and they just dice them up here.
02:20How is that going to be any different on the road in Buffalo with a total of 54 and a
02:25half?
02:25That's my question is what defense gets enough stops in order to be able to win this game?
02:32Or is it just going to be another one of these 44-41 wild shootouts and a field goal is
02:38going
02:38to end up winning it at the end, right?
02:40I, it's 54 and a half is a big number, but when it's that big, it's for a reason here.
02:47And I don't think I trust either defense this year.
02:50Sorry.
02:51Because I think if Joe Burrow can light you up, I'm fairly certain Josh Allen at home in
02:57Buffalo is going to have no problem putting points up on the board here.
