Last year, the Cincinnati Bengals shocked the world by making it all the way to the Super Bowl. While they fell short of ultimate victory they tore through the 2022 season looking to get back to the big game with one of the NFL's top-scoring offenses. The Bengals' core of quarterback Joe Burrow, running back Joe Mixon and an elite wide receiver trio of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd can go up against any defense and hold their own, and were a big reason why the Bengals took the AFC North crown this season.
However, they're now facing a Buffalo Bills offense that may be even better. While they're not quite as loaded as the Bengals' offensive weapons, they're close. Plus quarterback Josh Allen can be a one-man wrecking crew at times, scoring seven rushing touchdowns and averaging over 47 rushing yards per game. Burrow may be a better passer than Allen, but Allen brings an element to his game that Burrow simply cannot match. Watching these two quarterbacks face off should be electric.
Of course, as important as the offense is, it's defense that wins championships — or so the saying goes. While the Bengals' defense has been good, the Bills' defense has been better in almost every facet. Importantly, they also make fewer mistakes, committing fewer penalties for less yards. If they can keep Burrow in check, it could be enough to give Buffalo the edge at home.
The Bengals and Bills faced off in Week 17 but the game ended without a result due to Damar Hamlin's medical emergency. The Action Network currently has the Bills as 5.5-point home favorites, with a -118 moneyline (slightly up from earlier this week, when it was at -112). This isn't the last game of the week, either, as the Cowboys vs 49ers live stream closes out the Divisional Round.
