Allen is more dynamic than Burrow but more turnover prone. Like really turnover prone. And the Bengals D has really capitalized on those opportunities.
The Bills pass rushers are big and physical, rather than speed rushers. Miller being out and has really diminished their pass rush. I actually think there's a chance Carman could hold up because he's very big and powerful. Maybe a bad matchup for Adeniji as he susceptible to getting bulled. Oliver on the interior has plenty of juice too. Can't have a 5-6 sack game, or a bunch of penalties from the crowd noise. The Bills offense is too dynamic to waste a bunch of possessions.
Edmunds and Milano are really good. They're going to limit yards on check downs and force Joe to push it down field. Poyer is dealing with some physical issues and Hyde won't be back yet. You can make plays down the field. And the Bengals will have to. The Bills have dealt with adversity with injuries on D. Have to exploit that.
I think the Bengals will hold up on D. I expect the Bills to get theirs, as their a really good offense, but I expect the Bengals DLine to cause some havoc and Lou to confuse Allen a bit with the looks he gives.
My prediction? I'd never pick against Joe Burrow. This will be a tough game, and Burrow is going to have to make a bunch of plays for the Bengals to win. And I expect them to. Say 27-24 on a last second field goal from McPherson.
Heard yesterday Hyde will be able to come back. Unless something has changed since.
