On the other hand, we have some very athletic linebackers and are very good vs the run. We'll see what Lou has cooked up.
I'll put it this way: I have more confidence in Anarumo finding a way to stop Allen than I do in any DC trying to stop Burrow.
I do think Burrow and Taylor are a tougher combo to stop... but also feel Allen is the best dual threat in the AFC and close to Hurt in the NFL

Monumental game which not only determines AFC #1 seed but also MVP.
Paycor stadium so loud you cannot hear the person next to you.
Ja’Mar pissed from his poor play against Patriots goes off against the Bills. No one can cover him and he has 180 yards with 2 TD.
Irwin has a TD so does Higgins
Mixon and Perine combine for 130 yards rushing
The Bengals Offense clicks and make a huge statement to rest of the league saying You gotta go through US!
Burrow solidifies his position as MVP.
Bengals 45 Bills 17

Bengals win 34 - 20 against the Williams

Roam the Jungle !
No idea, both teams are good enough to win. Turnovers will decide it (Super hot take, I know).

Or force the FG would be good too and/or get three and outs.

I was playing a game called Retro Bowl and, just by chance, the Bills were my opponent yesterday. I was losing to them 12 to 14 at half time, but then I came back to win 26 to 21.
I missed an extra point and then went for 2 and missed to tie it right at the end of the second half (sounds familiar, right?), which I don't think happens in real life two games in a row, so I'll just even it out and call it:
Bengals 28
Bills 21
This prediction is based on nothing other than a mobile video game.

I want to predict a Bengals win, but it's hard for me to do so. Looking at the Bills scores does nothing for me, though, until I started looking closer. Interesting. Against likely or possible playoff teams, they're barely beating them (and in the case of the Vikings, losing to them): 3 point win IN Bufallo against the Dolphins, 8 point win IN Buffalo against the Jets (and let's not forget they LOST to the Jets earlier this year), 3 point win in Detroit, aforementioned loss IN Buffalo against the Vikings.
Then, let's look at Josh Allen. In over half his games (9 to be exact) so far this season, he's thrown at least 1 INT. In those 9 games, in 7 of them, his QB rating was 80 or lower (1 of which was 46). In 6 of his games played this season, his completion % has been sub-60.
I think we can force at least 1 INT and our offense will do more than enough to win the game. I think we start off hot, scoring on the opening drive, but a lull in the 2nd QTR offensively allows the Bills to hang around. We get at least 1 INT in the 2nd half that propels us to a 2 TD lead, Allen leads the Bills on a mini-comeback but falls short (2nd INT maybe?) in the 4th QTR.
Bengals win 28-21.

Need our pass rush to really step up this game, and we need to capitalize on turnovers (Allen will give you one or two).
Bengals by 3.
Everything in this post is my fault.

Call me crazy, but I think it's going to be
28 - 17 Bengals
The defense is used to QBs that can run the ball. We've got an insane run defense too. I just think we're used to the kind of offense the Bills run. Allen is due to throw an INT or two this game. I really think that our team is going to come out swinging. Finally putting out a full game together on both sides of the ball. The Bengals will show the league why we are and should be the team to beat, because they gotta play us!

Not sure how this one goes but i'm willing to bet it will come down to the last possession and be settled by 4 points or less
(if neither team losses any key players)

I predict this board's emotions will be in full effect win or lose. 31-27 Bengals, defense makes a stop on 4th late.

We get smoked (21-3) for the first 24:17m of the game. Then one of our big fellas gets pushed into Allen, rolling his ankle. With the limited capacity to extend plays, Knox and Singletary are relied upon to maintain drives. Slowly, the D collapses Buffalo's offense and Joey B works his magic with high percentage 7-15 yard completions. As suggested before, Mac hits the game winner at the end of regulation.
A grueling grind of a victory.
Bengals- 30
Bills- 28

When scoring 20 or more points, the Bengals are 11-1 and the Bills are 12-1.
(Bengals have scored 20 or more in all 6 home games...the Bills have scored 20 or more in 6 of 8 road games.)
Both teams are 5-3 when allowing 20 or more points.
(Bengals have allowed 20 or more in 3 of 6 home games...Bills have allowed 20 or more in 5 of 8 road games.)
Each team is also 5-1 in games where they've scored and allowed 20 or more points.

Just hoping for both sides: no blowout and, more importantly, no injuries.

Buffalo will let us win just because we're nice and decent enough to let them play in PayCore instead of in that Siberian stadium they have,.. Have you seen the latest pictures of the place? All the seats are completely covered in several feet of snow. Plus it was the Bengals who put them on the path to playoff success back when Andy was still our QB by beating Faultimore.. They OWE us..
