Probably a good thing they beat the crap out of us early in the season. That just might make them take us a bit more lightly than they should. It should also damned well resonate with our players and motivate them for revenge. And maybe they shot their emotional load by eviscerating the Cheatriots.
But still.... coin flip. Anybody arrogantly predicting an easy victory is insane. And I continue to be of the opinion that the league wishes to see us kicked to the curb, so I expect no favors from the ref$.
I remember back in the Montana era, we beat them early in the season, then they splattered us in the AFCCG. Hopefully we can return the favor.
That's all I've got. My stomach's already in knots just thinking about it.

The Bills are a small market team so I doubt league executives really want a team from Buffalo. Goodell makes so much money each year, he is not going to blow his ridiculous salary by favoring a team. Most of the refs do not have enough incentive to favor a team either. If the league was into favoring teams, it would probably be the Giants/Jets/Rams/Cowboys that would be favored more than most small market teams. While those teams have won SBs not many people believe the refs are primarily responsible.
I see this game as a coin flip but I actually think the Chiefs may be built better for terrible weather.
Tough to say Bills are impervious to bad weather when they blow out the Patriots in cold weather without much wind -- no need to punt in 2 games -- but lose and can't really score in the red zone in high winds.
Seems like the Bills are not well suited to playing smash mouth ball if the weather dictates it will be a truly poor day to throw the ball. This could happen from wind or very heavy rain.
Thanks to Josh Allen and the Patriots falling apart, the Patriots couldn't take advantage but I really don't think the Bills have this great collection of skill position players. Chiefs and Bengals have better skill position players. 49ers/Rams/Bucs/Packers when those teams are healthy have better skill position players.
