Best Picks
Joe Burrow is one of the best throwers in the entire NFL and has shown the ability to do just that. Last week against the New England Patriots, he was able to throw for 375 passing yards, despite having a pair of turnovers to keep him from 400+. The Bills defense has allowed a good amount of passing yards throughout the season to mediocre quarterbacks, so go with the over on Joe Burrow's passing yards in a meaningful game like this.
Joe Burrow Over 286.5 Passing Yards (-115)
Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals Prediction
This is going to be a close playoff-esque game as these are two of the best teams in the NFL right now. The Bills are dealing with too many injuries on the defensive side specifically to expect them to slow down this Bengals offense enough.
Both these defenses have been playing outstandingly well as of late, as Buffalo is giving up 18 points in their previous three games while Cincinnati is allowing 17 points in their last three games.
The underdogs are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games between the two sides, so take the Bengals as a slight home underdog here.
Prediction: Cincinnati Bengals +1 (-110)
