Buffalo (8-0 in these 8 games):

Cleveland
@ Detroit
@ New England
NY Jets
Miami
@ Chicago
@ Cincinnati (cancelled)
New England
Miami

Cincinnati (8-0 in these 8 games):

@ pissburgh
@ Titans
KC
Cleveland
@ Tampa Bay
@ New England
Buffalo (cancelled)
Baltimore
Baltimore

Buffalo had less travel, played one playoff team (twice) and that team (Miami) was a shell of itself in the playoff game.  Cincinnati had three playoff teams, and played one of them twice (Ballsnomore).  Here's this as well:  All 5 of Cincinnati's last 5 playoff games ALL were decided on the final play of the game.  They won 4 of them.

Yes, this game is on the road, and it will be a tough task, but as long as the Bengals have SOME success with Mixon and Perine to take some of the pressure on the offensive line and can avoid turnovers, I think they are the more talented team, with the better QB, the better defense, the better coaching staff, and are more battle tested.  

WHO DEY!!!

 

Not sure how you can say Miami was a shell and Baltimore was not without Lamar... really not much difference except us beating KC was big.. Bills have been here before and are very battle tested also... this game is a flip of a coin..
