Blasphemy!!!
Bills open at 1.5? That’s pretty good respect finally even if we are the underdog
YTD, Bengals are 12-3 vs the spread this year.....best in the NFL. So I'll guess 27-24 Bengals.
I would call the Bengals being home underdogs against any team disrespectful. It’s not a big deal, but perhaps it’s free motivation.
I expect both teams to rise to the occasion and make this one exciting. It’s probably the game of the year league-wide and has enormous seeding implications.
Bengals 30-28 at the gun

That's awesome....Should be our home page.
Huge stage, lots at stake....
I won't ever go against Joe Burrow in that situation.

Bills 24
Well I realize the playoffs matter. If you beat the Bills and KC (2) or the Bills (2) this season we will have ascended to the top. Make no mistake the Eagles are arguably the best team in the NFL. We are going to have to play 2 halves not just 1. Don’t know who we get back and healthy we will be. New England is tough defensively. The Pats adjusted well but the first half showed our offense is solid. No we didn’t run the ball well. The bottom line is our health. I’m waiting to see how healthy we are to predict.
Personally I think Buffalo’s defense is overrated statistically. Ours underrated statistically.
McPherson redeems himself with a game winner from 52 yards at the buzzer.

I'm curious how Allen will look vs. Lou defense. He hasn't been sharp the back-half of this year could force him into some turnovers.
Right now the weather is calling for 50 degrees and rainy...
I'll go 24-21 Bengals....
The deep ball to Diggs worries me. We've gotten away with some bombs that should have been huge gains/TDs when our boundary guys get put on an island. I don't see Diggs going them a lot of second chances.
I'd anticipate a shoot out. Hopefully Allen is kind enough to keep choking in the red zone.
We are both very balanced / complete teams.
Whoever brings their A-game for 4 quarters wins this one.
Slow starts and impressive “half games” won’t get this one done.
Let’s keep it real; we got lucky to some degree 2 weeks in a row.
though we won last two games, been inconsistent for each game, i think Monday it catches up with us and Allen just is a bit too much passing and running and Bills win a tight one.. 24-20
These Bengals have been considerably stronger at home than on the road for much of the season. Some of that may be attributable to competition.
Bengals win.
I stayed out of the pats prediction thread because I thought it was a trap game and didn't want to predict a loss.

The Bills aren’t invincible. Not implying you said they were. They lost to the Jets once and beat them 20-12 once. They beat the Lions 28-25. They beat the Dolphins 32-29.
If Joe comes out like he did yesterday we can beat them for sure. Like I’ve said if we can get healthy I like us to win. I’ll predict after I know that.
