This is likely to be the best game of the season.
As it stands, the Bills are playing to clinch home field advantage and a first round bye which is no doubt in their best interest considering Josh Allen has battled an injury since week 9 to his throwing elbow.
And the Bengals are playing to win the division which is currently held by the pesky Ravens who despite their struggles and injuries hold the keys to it still due to beating the Bengals early in the year.
These also happen to be the two best teams in the AFC and if I had to guess one of them will represent the conference in this year’s Super Bowl.
So, I’m sure you’re as eager as me about this one, let’s dive in for a closer look at what makes these two teams so great.
Buffalo Bills
The Bills really do not have a weakness in their lineup. They did lose Von Miller for the year which sucks but this front seven was already stacked and he was on a pitch count as it was.
They also employ arguably the best secondary in the league that is healthy at the right time and playing some of their best football. They rank second in the league in points allowed with 17.5 and only allow 1.9 touchdowns per game good for 4th.
We also all know how they can hum on offence which has looked like it’s regressed slightly in the last 6 weeks but is still finding ways to get wins. They still rank 4th in points per game with 28.0 and 4th in touchdowns per game with 3.2.
Stellar numbers for a stellar team.
What you can look too for just how good this team is on offence as well is that they accumulate an average of of over 400 yards of offence per game and convert 3rd downs at a clip of nearly 50% which is by far and away 1st in the NFL.
Insane. It will be a lot for this Bengals D to handle.
Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengal Tigers are no slouches themselves, in fact, I actually like them to return to the big game for a number of reasons.
The Bengals have one glaring weakness however that I don’t like moving forward and especially so in this game. And that is that they allow 3rd down conversions to opposing offences A LOT which is a major strength of the Bills as we just discussed.
They do however excel at not allowing touchdowns in the red zone which they are certainly going to need in this one, they seem to be the perfect example of the ”bend don’t break” philosophy we hear of a lot.
They are only slightly less efficient and explosive on offence than their counterparts as well. Their third down conversion rate is only behind the Bills by 2%. They are very very good and Joe Burrow is drawing comparisons to Tom Brady for his ability to stay cool and collected and come through in the clutch.

I am taking a chance with the pup here. I like them for a myriad of reasons but mainly they seem to be playing hotter now than ever whereas the Bills have cooled off (for their standards).
