00:00Alex, here we go.

00:02Now it's the big leagues because the schedule gets very soft again

00:06after this game.

00:08But Sunday night, if somehow they can put it together Sunday night

00:12and beat Buffalo, now everyone's fantasies could come true

00:17making the playoffs.

00:19If you beat Buffalo and you've got that terrible, terrible schedule

00:23on your way with a bunch of loser teams, you still play the Jets twice

00:28and they're terrible.

00:30The road is golden in front of you, but they do have to go to Buffalo.

00:34Buffalo's a touchdown and a half favorite.

00:38What do you foresee happening?

00:41How could the Patriots beat Buffalo in Buffalo?

00:44So I do think it's going to be a closer game than people think.

00:48Some of that is just divisional football games always end up a little closer.

00:52You look at what Miami did against Buffalo a couple weeks ago.

00:55Granted, that was in Miami.

00:56Also, let's not forget, Drake May went into that environment last year

01:00and had one of his best games of the year.

01:02They were up 14-0 at one point in that game.

01:04Obviously, that lead goes away, but he's going back up there

01:07with another year of experience, with a better team around him,

01:09with a better coaching staff.

01:11If he can kind of replicate that, he's at least going to keep them in the game.

01:15How do they ultimately win it?

01:17I think they have to tackle a lot better.

01:19James Cook does a great job, the Bills running back, of finding hidden yardage.

01:23Is there a more underrated running back in the NFL than James Cook?

01:27People, I don't think, appreciate how good he is.

01:30I would agree with that.

01:32I think that happens a lot to players that play with Josh Allen

01:35because so much of it gets put on Josh Allen, the magician.

01:38Look, he's doing this, that, or whatever.

01:40And the guys that are around him are good players, too,

01:42and don't always get the credit they deserve.

01:44So, yeah, he's definitely up there.

01:46If he's not number one, he's high on that list.
