BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A potentially dangerous winter storm forecast to hit the Buffalo region over the weekend led the NFL on Saturday to push back the Bills’ wild-card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers from Sunday to Monday.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and the NFL cited public safety concerns as the reason for the postponement, with up to 2 feet of snow projected to fall on the Buffalo region over a 24-plus-hour period starting Saturday.
“The decision to move the game to Monday was made in consultation with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul in the best interest of public safety, and with the Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers, as the region prepares for the storm,” the NFL and Bills said in a joint statement.
Hochul said she started talking with the NFL on Thursday about the possibility.

Their house rules dictate the game must happen on the date specified... So, my bet has no action on the Bills bet, money refunded by Circa Sportsbook for the teaser with Buffalo
Cowboys’ numbers are heavily inflated by running up the score in matchups against inferior opponents. In their seven matchups against playoff teams, the Cowboys yielded a rather lackluster record of 3-4 and averaged less than 23 PPG in those contests. While in their other 10 matchups, they posted a record of 9-1 and averaged a whopping 35 PPG.
On the other side of that same coin though, the Cowboys’ defensive dominance is legitimate, and this a brutal road draw for Love and this young Packers team. But I don’t necessarily trust Dallas to score enough points to win this game by more than a touchdown either. Thats why I bet the money line for the half and game!!!!
