The Buffalo Bills are officially in postseason mode.
Sean McDermott’s team cannot afford to drop the ball anymore, and they need to win out if they want to have a shot at their division.
That’s why it’s not much of a surprise to see them being 2.5-point favorites ahead of Sunday’s clash vs. the Dallas Cowboys, especially considering the fact that the game is in Buffalo’s blistering cold.
Nonetheless, judging by the way the Cowboys have been playing as of late, some are still shocked that they’re not favorites for this game.
Unsurprisingly, that includes FOX Sports analyst Nick Wright, who’s been overly critical of Josh Allen and the Bills for years now.
Are the Cowboys being disrespected as 2.5-point underdogs ?
“It’s not so much about the Cowboys being disrespected, it’s just for the 68th straight week the Bills are being overly respected. … People love the 11th place Bills.” — @getnickwright pic.twitter.com/lrimZ86gyb

In the latest edition of “First Things First,” Wright stated that it’s not like the Cowboys aren’t being respected enough but rather that the Bills are once again being overly respected.
Wright compared the Bills to a drug and stated that he couldn’t fathom why the public, oddsmakers, and those who call games can’t seem to get over them.
He stated that they’re the most loved 11th-seed he’s ever seen, and he can’t understand why.
He’s got a bit of a valid point in the sense that not many 11 seeds would get this kind of love, but the Bills aren’t your average 11th seed.
Even so, you never know what version of them you’re going to get, so it’s going to be interesting to see how this must-watch game ends up, as the Cowboys are no joke and are also motivated to win out to clinch the first seed.
