00:02 So now as we focus on this football game, just from the Xs and Os between the white lines.
00:08 It's a divisional rivalry between two AFC front runners and two teams, Donnie, that are expected
00:15 to contend for a divisional crown. Buffalo has won the AFC East each of the past three years.
00:20 The Bills booked as a favorite in all 18 of their games a season ago, a favorite of two points
00:27 tonight on the road in MetLife. The Jets an underdog 12 times a season ago, Donnie, but
00:33 they're not going to be an underdog many more times after tonight with Aaron Rodgers at the helm.
00:39 A short number, it's only two DRS in favor of the Bills. What's your approach to Monday night
00:46 football to end out week number one? Well, number one, sitting on the couch and watching this,
00:50 babe, it is going to be tremendous. This is one of the games here when the schedules came out.
00:55 You look at the opening night Thursday, of course, we're always going to be excited for opening night.
00:59 Kansas City Chiefs in Detroit, you know, you're going to want to watch your favorite team from
01:02 either Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots. But if there was one game you said,
01:05 Donnie, forget about being your favorite team or what night they play. Which game do you want to
01:09 watch? One thousand percent, Ben. It's the game tonight between the Jets and the Bills. But also
01:13 keep in mind, did you see what you saw yesterday on the eastern seaboard? A lot of rain, a lot of
01:18 games being influenced by weather conditions. You also saw it last night in the Meadowlands.
01:22 You take a look at today again, game kickoff, 60 percent chance of precipitation. So we might
01:26 be getting some of that wet weather, which hindered some of the offenses. So just right
01:30 out of the gate, I've always liked the Buffalo Bills. I'm not going to change my stance now at
01:34 this point, but if you're taking a look at a quarterback that will be able to handle the
01:37 elements and run with the football, the play breaks down against an immense pass rush,
01:42 which obviously the Jets do have. It's going to be Josh Allen for me. He's going to be central
01:46 to the victory tonight for the Buffalo Bills. Weather implications, if there are any, I think
01:50 the Buffalo Bills will handle them better than the New York Jets. And I do think the Buffalo
01:54 Bills come away with the victory. But having said that, this is a true coin flip game, sensational
01:59 all the way around, and it's going to go a really long way with deciding probably who wins the AFC East.
