I saw the latest odds from Vegas on the Bills/Raiders game on ESPN.com. The Raiders are favored by three points, and the over/under is 51! Hmmmm....3? 51? Those numbers sound strangely familiar... 51-3? Could it be? :scratch:

IT'S A SIGN! :rolleyes:

Or...it could be just some strange coincidence. But still....isn't that weird? :D

Bills 51, Los Angeles Raiders 3
Jan. 20, 1991
Rich Stadium
Attendance: 80,324

The Bills won their first AFC Championship with one of the most dominating performances ever displayed in a title game. Buffalo set the tone for the day by driving 75 yards after the opening KO and scored the initial TD when QB Jim Kelly picked up a bad shotgun snap and scrambled to find WR James Lofton for a 13-yard pass. After Raiders K Jeff Jaeger cut the lead to 7-3, the Buffalo onslaught began. RB Thurman Thomas ran for a 12-yard TD before LB Darryl Talley returned an INT 27 yards to extend the early lead to 21-3. The Bills’ no-huddle offense showcased its power by scoring 20 more points in the 2nd quarter on 2 TD runs by RB Kenneth Davis and an 8-yard TD pass from Kelly to Lofton. Buffalo posted an impressive 41-3 halftime advantage, establishing an NFL postseason record for most points in a first half. Davis added his 3rd TD in the 4th quarter, tying an NFL playoff record for the most TDs in a game, while K Scott Norwood hit a 39-yard FG to provide the final margin. Thomas rushed for a Bills playoff record 138 yards as Buffalo gained a total of 502 yards compared to L.A.’s 320.

I think you're going to see are running game this week. This is not going to be a cakewalk, and I believe the scoring between the two teams may hit 50.

27/23 Buffalo

GO!!!...BUFFALO!!!...
