Nah I'm hoping they win. I get whiny about them sometimes because my best friend is a Steelers fan and I'm jealous how out of town scoreboards seem to always line up for them/him whereas it never seems to for my team, but trust me I'd laugh if they beat the Bills on Sunday.

...well the football fan in me would prefer Bills as it makes for a more entertaining match-up the following week. But them being a 1 & done would be funny.

Lions play the next day and I doubt they want to pay for staffing on two game days.

That said, they could move it to Minneapolis.

Looks like a lot of North America is under some sort of advisory for winter storms or rain.

They should go to London. Play the entire playoffs and Super Bowl in a London bubble.

Lions play 7 hours and change after the Bill's game is scheduled to start. Indy and Minnesota are the only two stadiums in the North East other than Detroit that are indoors. Short notice to move a playoff game.

The total has gone from 42 to 34 with 70% of the market taking the under.

Lol, the Bills are offering $20/hr and soliciting child labour to remove the snow.

Classy.

$20/hr is probably a decent amount above minimum wage, and probably tax free too. And given they probably could have asked for volunteers and gotten more than enough people cause sports fans are stupid like that, I'm struggling to find the outrage.

I mean the kids in my neighbourhood think shovelling my driveway should amount to $20, and it usually takes me 10 minutes to do it. So yeah this type of labour is totally $120 per hour work.

Well the NFL being the NFL and things rarely going back to how they were I could see a Monday doubleheader becoming the norm, since it will be on MLK day as long as there are 17 games. NBA gets ####ed, but like the NFL cares.

Its the correct move.....the safety concerns are just way to high to not do this.

3 feet of snow, 65MPH winds, a travel ban starting tonight.....easy call.

1st responders are going to be busy enough to have to worry about 80K plus people trying to get to one spot on snow covered roads.

So no early game on Sunday.

With how difficult travel is in the area, that's probably the right thing to do. But if they end up playing Houston, K.C. or Cleveland next week, the two days of rest for the opponent will be a disadvantage. Even if their new stadium was done, it's the same result with people not being able to get to the venue.
