The Bengals offensive struggles against Baltimore are a sign of things to come against the Bills.

Best Bet

Bills -5
Line

Cincinnati were blessed with continuity on the offensive line for much of the season but a succession of injuries saw their line, and with it, their offence crater in the second half last week against the Ravens.

Even at home, the Bengals got the grand total of one first down from their last three drives against the Ravens, and it was only the luckiest of fumbles by the Ravens that saved them from being eliminated last weel.

Things won’t get easier against Buffalo in front of a raucous home crowd and a Bills defensive line that, while it lacks star power in the absence of Von Miller, makes up for it with depth.

The challenge for Buffalo is to minimize turnovers. The offence has given the ball away three times in each of the last three games and that simply cannot happen against the Bengals.

However, those turnovers have somewhat masked the down to down dominance of the Bills. They outgained the Dolphins but 423 yards to 231 last week. They only allowed Miami to convert four from sixteen times on third town.

Buffalo is also a notoriously hard place to play in January. They are 13-1 in playoff games at home in the NFL era.

The Bills should win and cover the line here.

Bills -5, Josh Allen & Stefon Diggs TD

Josh Allen’s legs should feature as the Bengals have struggled to defend quarterback runs this season, and Diggs should be to the forefront of the Bills gameplan against the Bengals.


Value Bet

Gabriel Davis
100+ Receiving Yards

Davis has frustrated Bills fans at times with inconsistency but he is rapidly building a reputation as a playoff specialist, going for 201 and 113 yards in his last two postseason games. $7.50 for another 100+ game is highly appealing.
