40-60 MPH Winds in Buffalo at kickoff. Anybody see the Goal posts turned and on their side? It's crazy and i'm not sure how they fix it for game time!

I am about 2-3 hours from Buffalo and the wind is gusting just as hard out my window here. Total sitting at 35.5 under may be worth a look here with a ton of running, missed FG's and incomplete passes.

New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills (+5.5, 40)

The wind is so furious in Ralph Wilson Stadium that the league was considering delaying the game. Winds blowing near 40 mph have destroyed the stadium, bending the goal posts, causing power outages and blowing the benches 40 yards down the field.

Grounds crews were actually evacuated earlier this morning. The wind is supposed to die down as it gets closer to game time but could give way to rain as well as thunder and lightning. The NFL met this morning and decided to kept kickoff as scheduled.

They already fixed them according to the nfl network.

The benches were upside down in the middle of the field. Just a crazy scene up there!

For how long? Until the next gust hits?

Bang the under....

LOL I just refreshed the odds at my book and the under went down a full point from 35.5 to 34.5 in about 3 minutes. The impact NFL countdown reporting can have sometimes..

Probably. Stupid me took Wes Welker in 3 for all. Didnt know about those winds last night. Oh well. Hope he catches a short pass and turns it into a long gain.

If the kickoff is in to the wind, it will look like an onside kick!

I was going to use Moss but i can't see the deep balls getting to him so i went with Colston in the dome instead!

40mph???


That is just a breeze here in Illinois



Last night we had heavier wind gusts than that ...

ESPN is behind. NFL Network pregame starts 2 hours before ESPN does. NFL Network already said the goal posts were fixed before espn reported they were down.

NFL network also said Lynch is out. ESPN said game time decision and he will probably play a little.

The total on this game when i posted my picks early this morning was 40. Now down 5-6 points.
