Fearless Freddie’s Football Forecast

OUTSUPERMANNED. What is the next step of stretching believability beyond a fairytale ending? Certainly not a Hollywood ending or a happy ending. Doesn’t matter. Whatever you want to call it, that’s what we lived through Sunday night.

Josh Allen put on his superhero cape again and his Buffalo Bills rallied from 15 points down in the final four minutes to beat the ridiculously talented Baltimore Ravens 41-40.

But as Josh always says, that was just one game and the most important game is the next game.

That means the New York Jets, who lost their season opener at home against Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh Steelers. Division foes are always a problem. It will be close, but nothing like the Highmark Havok. How about Raven Roast? A game that memorable certainly deserves its own name. I’m open to suggestions. In the meantime …

Freddie sees it this way:

Bills 33, JETS 26
