No, I think you’ve got it right. A friend has Buffalo favored, but only very slightly. As he put it, “Might as well be a coin flip.”
WHOOO!!! E A G L E S !!! EAGLES!!!

That’s the Opening line. (‘Open’ is the column header.) The subsequent columns are current lines, all of which show Baltimore as a slight favorite.
Okay. Open is the Opening Line. Thanks.
The Ravens marched down the field very easily to take a quick 7-0 lead.
And back come the Bills!
Yeah, 7-7 now. But the Bills needed to convert on a 4th and 2 to keep that drive going.
And… Buffalo picks off Lamar Jackson!
Lamar with 2 turnovers. That’s unusual.
I wonder what the record is for turnovers in a division round weekend. I suspect we’ve already blown past it.
Perhaps, although there were no turnovers in the Texans/Chiefs game yesterday.
There was a turnover on downs, which isn’t classified as a turnover, and there was a blocked field goal, also not classified as a turnover.
There were two turnovers in the Eagles/Rams game, both on Rams fumbles.
Lions had five turnovers; Commanders none.
There have been two thus far in the Bills/Ravens game.
So that’s a total of nine so far. Maybe a record.
In the 1985 divisional round there were eight turnovers… in just the Patriots-Raiders game. And there were eight more in the Rams-Cowboys game. 20 in all that weekend.
Teams used to commit more turnovers… WAY more. This year the average team lost 21 turnovers all season. Forty years ago it was almost twice that, about 39 (in a season one game shorter.) Back in the day, nine turnovers would have been a remarkably low number for a slate of four games.
Good lord.
In retrospect, having Land O’Lakes as the official supplier of game balls may have been an error.
Bills are leading, but it is still anybody’s game.
I understand that there are a lot of commercials in any football game, but honestly, can TSN find anything other than “Emilio’s dark period” for Bell? In six hours of today’s football, I think it has been shown at least four dozen times.
Another turnover by the Ravens.
That was some atrocious ball security there by Andrews.
If the Bills get a TD off of this one (big if), it would be really hard for the Ravens to come back from.
Even another FG will make it difficult if the Bills can take a lot of time off.
It sucks if you’re a fan of the Lions, Ravens, or Rams, but you can’t turn the ball over that much in the playoffs and expect to win. These were (outside of the turnover plays) well played, close games, but take care of the damn ball.
So says @Hamlet, fan of the Packers, who had 1 fumble lost and 3 interceptions in their wild card loss.
Oh dear!
Poor Mark Andrews. Gonna be a long offseason for him.
The Bills only scored 6 points in the 2nd half but it was good enough.
