Buffalo Bills at Cincinnati Bengals Final Betting Prediction
On Monday night, something must give. One of these two powerhouse AFC squads will lose. Which team gets the win?
Buffalo can hang with anybody. But since a 28-25 win versus the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, the Bills have played some awful teams.
The Jets, Dolphins, and Bears will all miss the playoffs. So beating Chicago 35-10 doesn’t impress. Miami had Buffalo on the ropes.
Cincinnati has beaten and covered against Cleveland, Kansas City, Tampa Bay, and New England in their last 4. The Bengals know a victory against the Bills could lead to home field. Burrow and his mates won’t let the opportunity slip from their grasp.
