The Bills were the Vegas favorites (by a lot) going into the season. They beat KC and all their losses were very close, unlike the MNF debacle that the Bengals had at Cleveland. Currently the ESPN power ratings have Buffalo third and the Bengals 6th. The Bills defense is 2nd in the league in points per game (behind San Francisco), while Cincinnati is 9th, and the Bills offense is second in the league (behind KC) in terms of points per game while the Bengals are 7th. If this game were away, the Bills would unquestionably be favored by Vegas. Both teams are hot right now.
If the Bengals win, I don't know why people would be eating crow simply because they look at Buffalo as an impressive team and the team to beat to win the AFC. Buffalo is the number 1 seed in the AFC right now.
The people who were overtly frustrated when we were 0-2 might have succumbed to their old experience as a Bengal fan. We barely lost those games as well as a third with the Ravens. I know it’s still hard for some of you ( I’m a recent fan) but these guys are solid,focused, and confident. That doesn’t mean they can’t lose early in the playoffs due to poor play. It happens.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
