Bills/Bengals likely a “no contest”

[JDS]

It's hard to tell. I think it sucks more for Bills probably

As far as the playoff picture, there's no perfect solution to this. This was going to be an extremely meaningful game to a lot of teams.

I think it was unlikely the Bengals would get the 1 seed had they beaten the Bills, because they would still need the Chiefs to lose to Raiders in Week 18 and I don't think that's happening. Having said that, a win over the Bills would have given Bengals the ability to controls its destiny for the 2 seed.

If they cancel game, Bengals probably looking at the 3 unless the Bills lose to the Patriots -- which I don't see happening. That isn't that bad of a deal, though visiting Orchard Park in January could suck

The Bills lose controlling their destiny for the 1 seed, which I think is a bigger loss even though 2 is more favorable than the 1. I also think even though this will affect both teams emotionally without questions, Buffalo as a team really gotta be going through it right now. The positive trend in Hamlin's health though could help them

Ravens may argue they get screwed since No Contest would actually clinch the division for the Bengals. But the Ravens can go f*** themselves lmao they couldn't take advantage of a college schedule. That's their fault

I knew I asked the right man for this question.

I'll add though, not to be insensitive to the moment

But it did look like Burrow was about to commit a few felonies on the Buffalo defense before the game was suspended.

The Bengals looked SHARP

I'd agree with the felony part.

Lets step ahead a little. What's your take on how the game will play out if they meet again in the playoffs. I think Bengals will do well but, as you said, it might be in Buffalo.

I agree I’m still trying to find my 1st win in 2023, that game looked real promising early on.

Joe Burrow said it best whatever buffalo want to do is what they should do. I think both teams will consider what's best for each other right now.

It's best for you to win that money! No contest would automatically make Bengals the AFC North champs.

A little concerned about grading tbh

 

[stormtrooper8]

It is a little annoying though that Chiefs might luck into the 1 seed from a cancellation

But life ain’t fair

Yeah. Me too man. I’ve been rooting for you since I became aware of this. I’m wondering if somehow the book tries to do something shitty on grading, especially if Bengals don’t win this weekend.

Funny thing stormy is for some reason I was thinking all week now the Bengals would have to beat Ravens for conference title. But obviously now they win by 1.5 or .5 games. So Bengals are conference champs.

Hell of a futures bet man. Hope there is no squirrel-iness on the grading

Thanks man. Let's hope they do the right thing

You MUST let us know how this turns out.
If they pull the bet, we need to know what book was used. That would be complete BS.

Sorry I didn't see this.

I really don't know what happens if there's a rematch. I'll say that a cold game in Orchard Park is not ideal for the Bengals, and I think it'd be tough for us to win there.

Cold weather may be unavoidable either way, which I think favors Buffalo. That Monday night game was uniquely warm (like warmer than where I am in California right now), which set the table for the Bengals to attack in the passing game

The weather cooperated for Bengals last year. I remember being in Arrowhead and thinking what beautiful football weather it was.....not to over talk about weather, but I do think it's imporant in these games.

Back to the match-up.......I think the Bengals were going to win Monday night and possibly by a solid margin, but I think a second game would be difficult to win regardless of that outcome. A Bengals win would have likely set up stage for 2/3 match-up in Divisional Round back in Cincinnati.

I think the home team would win in the playoff match-up. But like I said at first...I don't really know/have a great read.
