00:00most-watched playoff game in the history of the NFL outside of a Super Bowl.
00:05I think this game may be more watched than the AFC and NFC Championship,
00:09just depending on the matchups.
00:11The Ravens are up to a point-and-a-half favorite at Buffalo.
00:14Matt, you know this opened up as Buffalo as a favorite.
00:17The total is 51-and-a-half.
00:20Do you think this movement identifies the right side here?
00:24This is the toughest game for me to call of the weekend.
00:27I just don't know, and I'm hoping for a good game.
00:30Yeah, you know, I think that it represents the right side of the movement
00:34in terms of what team's been playing better,
00:36and probably what team has the better weapons,
00:38but we all know that that doesn't always translate,
00:41especially when home field is involved,
00:44especially when potential weather issues are involved.
00:46I think the Zay Flowers injury is a big deal in a game like this.
00:50The Ravens managed to get through last week without really missing Zay Flowers all that much,
00:55but in a game like this, I think that really matters.
00:57It limits that passing game of Baltimore,
01:00and it just puts more pressure on the running game,
01:03which we know is extremely talented, extremely good.
01:07We saw what they did last time these two teams played,
01:10where Derrick Henry just ran roughshod over Buffalo,
01:12which is something he's done at other points in his career.
01:15But I just think, you know, the way Buffalo's playing,
01:18they have the confidence, they have the home field.
01:21I think Josh Allen is playing at an incredibly high level,
01:25even if the stats aren't quite as good as Lamar's.
01:28I think what he's had to do with carrying his team,
01:31and look, James Cook,
01:32yeah, everyone's talking about Derrick Henry in this game,
01:35but James Cook has been every bit as solid of a running back throughout the year,
01:39at least in terms of what he's being asked to do in Buffalo,
01:43and I just think that overall,
01:45they're just a little bit healthier,
01:48and they're going to be a tougher out playing in their home building.
