The predicted signal levels and interference for reception of WBNS is marginal. Add the trees and some inexperience, I'd rate your chances for success at less than 50%.
My own quest for additional NFL regional games has been mostly unsuccessful. I did it prior to TVFool, so my results were more trial and error.
I'm on a hill about 500' above Albany, NY.
The tower is 120' tall Rohn 45.
The antenna is a Channel Master 4228 old style.
The preamp is a Winegard AP 4700.
The feedline is 400' of 3/4" hardline.
The rotator is an old CDR Ham-M.
The HDTV set is a Zenith 34" CRT style with built in ATSC tuner.
I've built these filters

It picked up analog stations in Hartford, CT; Utica, NY; White River Junction, VT; Rutland, VT, Worcester, MA; and LPTV stations in Glens Falls, NY and Cooperstown, NY. With DTV, only Utica is reliable.
I have not played with the reception for several years. With analog off the air I could try other preamps and better tuners.
