Bills vs Bengals Prediction
I’m on the Bengals and the points in this one. I just think this is a spot where Cincinnati’s offense looked rejuvenated with Joe Burrow back under center, and at their peak, Cincinnati has one of the most explosive offenses in the entire NFL. Buffalo is one of the NFL’s best and is in a must-win situation with New England on a bye and a chance to make up some ground in the division race. However, this feels like a game where Cincinnati can go score for score with Buffalo. This feels like a 34-31 kind of game. Give me the points with Cincinnati.
