NFL Division Round 2022
Trayveon Williams of the Bengals in action
Cincinnati Bengals @ Buffalo Bills
Monday 23January, Highmark Stadium, 7:00am (AEDT)
It’s a genuine heavyweight bout between the Bills and the Bengals who only weeks ago faced off with the game ultimately abandoned after the collapse of Damar Hamil - who thankfully is tracking well in his recovery.
With this game to be held at Highmark Stadium, given their better winning record, the Bengals will hit the road as underdogs and truthfully - it’s a badge they don’t mind donning. With Smokin’ Joey Burrow at the helm of this robust and splintering offence, the Bengals are a team on a mission to avenge last year’s Super Bowl devastation.
The Bengals’ win over Baltimore last week wasn’t exactly clinical, it didn’t need to be. By the same token, Josh Allen was practically giving the ball away to the Dolphins last week and the Bills escaped by the skin of their teeth in what would have been the biggest upset of Wild Card Weekend in modern history.
Although they now live to fight another day, if Allen commits three turnovers against this Bengals outfit, their season will emphatically fall by the wayside. I’m all about the Bengals in this match-up, this is a very even affair, but the bookies have Buffalo too short here, which gives punters plenty of value to back Cinnci. If you want to go for broke on this game, then you could do worse than a SGM of Burrow to throw for 250+ yards, as well as Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and RB Joe Mixon to be anytime touchdown scorers.
SUGGESTED BET: Bengals @ $3 (TAB)
