    That's very surprising since Stroud will be playing and it's at home. Betters putting too much stock in that last game against Cleveland. I suspect that line will move toward the Texans once we know who exactly will be playing (so by Thursday).

    SF will get knocked out before the NFC Championship game so Dallas never plays an away game before the Superbowl.

    Arrogance combined with $ moves the line.

    Browns fans truly believe they're going to the Super Bowl. Two of my poker buddies are hardcore Browns fans.

    I'm talking basements decked out with Njoku and Chubb fatheads, 50 Bernie Kosar autographs, Jim Brown cards in hard cases, etc.

    They should move all games involving potentially dangerous weather to a stadium with a roof and HEAT. People who played in the Ice Bowl were injured for life.

    All NFL stadiums should be "indoor," especially in the Northern and Eastern regions. Ironically, they are ones with the outdoor stadiums. Most cities in the South and West have indoor stadiums.

    I strongly agree; not fair to either team. Flat out dangerous. That's what the NFL gets for selling out their fans for bucks (Peacock).

    How many fans will die before the NFL takes notice?

    It's ridiculous. I don't live super far from Buffalo. I still cannot believe they're building, essentially a carbon copy of Tottenham HotSpur Stadium for $1.6 billion, with taxpayers footing half the bill. It's insane they do not have a roof. Utter nonsense, and the NFL should have put their foot down. It's literally one of the snowiest areas in the country.

    Luckily, I'm not part of that tax base.

    First off, I don't have any sympathy for NFL players who have to play in the cold in KC, NE, BUF or wherever. It's 2023, not Bloomington MN in the 70s. They'll be well taken care of.

    That all said, for the Bills to build a new $1.6 billion stadium without a roof is nuts. I guess their fans didn't protest the decision.

    That’s because the South has hospitality and cares about the comfort of its fans while the north is old ppl that had it harder than you and love tradition and hate change. You’re not a fan if you don’t suffer through it!

    I'm not fond of traditions of needless suffering. There is a time and a place for it, so I'm not opposed to needed suffering like going on a hunt for food or out on an ice pack for fish. But to do it just to suffer?

    If that were the case then the "South" would not have domes and air conditioning.

    You can put on clothes, there's only so many you can take off.

    I think you need to reread. That’s what I was saying. South cares about your comfort… hence domes and AC…

    How long did it take MLB to react to hot foul balls after kids were severely hurt by extending the nets?

    Meanwhile, in Buffalo tomorrow - several inches of snow and very high wind. Gusts up to 65 mph (potentially) with sustained winds around 25-30mph.
