Thank Cletus, picking the points in these games is so damn tough. Really puling for the Bills in this game.

The games were so difficult to pick all season, I bet you I picked 20+ teams this season that lost by less than 3 points! It was crazy!

I would not have gone for 2 there ....... there is still a lot of football to be played.

Unless there are exceptional circumstances (such as a penalty on the defense to put the ball at the one-yardline), I don't like going for 2/chasing points until the final 7 or 8 minutes of the 4th quarter.

I bet the analytics say go for 2, but I agree, take the point, they will probably need it!

So instead up being up by a field goal, chasing the points bites the Bills in the ass.

Or even being up by 2 ...... if the Bills had kicked that extra point just now, they would be up 23-21, and another TD and an extra point would make it a 2-possession game at 30-21 ...... like I said, there is still too much football to be played and all sorts of scenarios that might pan out to be chasing points unless it's the final 7 or 8 minutes of the 4th quarter.

Good news: It's looking like we very well could have someone to root for in the Superbowl.

Bad news: My bets are looking a lot worse now than they were at halftime

I knew this was going to be a great game, these two teams are very close talent wise!

I thought he got it, one line judge marked him over the line, the other one marked him short...the guy marking him short somehow got the ball and put it down without even consulting with the other line judge!
