  2. Buffalo Bills vs Cincinnati Bengals
  • NFC:
  1. Philadelphia Eagles vs New York Giants
  2. San Francisco 49ers vs Dallas Cowboys / Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Everyone's eyes will be on the game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. It is a 3:00 pm fixture on Sunday and will be a repeat of the Week 17 clash between the two games that was suspended due to Damar Hamlin's collapse.

The Buffalo Bills finished the regular season as the second seed in the AFC while the Bengals were the third seed. Josh Allen and Joe Burrow will go against each other to put their team in the AFC Championship Game.

The Bills are currently favored by -4.0 points since they are playing at home, while the Bengals could miss multiple key players through injuries. However, with everything we saw in the Wildcard Round, expect the unexpected, and the Bengals could easily come away with a win against the Bills on Sunday.


The 2023 NFL playoffs have been wild

The 2023 NFL playoffs went off to a great start as the game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Los Angeles Chargers lived up to expectations. The Jags caused a massive upset and are now on their way to face the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round.

Both the Bengals and Bills survived a scare from the Ravens and the Dolphins who were without their starting quarterback, and both games were quite close till the end.

In the NFC, the 49ers were required to play extremely well in the second half to overcome the Seahawks, while the New York Giants were able to take care of business against Kirk Cousins and co.

Hopefully, the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys will be an entertaining one as well.
