Joe Burrow is back and the Cincinnati Bengals are still alive in the race for the playoffs, sitting just two games back from the Baltimore Ravens for the top spot in the AFC South. They'll likely have to win out to have a chance, which includes beating the Buffalo Bills in Week 14.

Let's dive into the odds and my best bet for this AFC showdown.

Bengals vs. Bills Key Player to Watch

  • Joe Burrow, QB - Cincinnati Bengals

Joe Burrow had a solid performance in his first game back from injury, throwing for 261 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. If the Bengals want any hope of making the playoffs, Burrow can't afford to have a bad performance. Let's see if he can lead them to a second-straight big upset.

Bengals vs. Bills Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the Road to 272 Bets, I broke down why I'm betting on the UNDER in this AFC matchup:

This game has OVER written all over it. Both defenses in this game have struggled this season, while their offenses, especially the Bengals' offense with Joe Burrow back in the lineup, have been hot. With that being said, I still believe the total in this game is too high, so I'll reluctantly back the UNDER.

The Bills are still seeking a viable option at wide receiver and now their top two offensive tackles are also out of the lineup between Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown. If they face a team that focuses on stopping their rush attack, the Bills have struggled to respond by being able to beat them through the air. For the Bengals, despite Burrow's strong performance against the Ravens, Cincinnati still averaged just 4.8 yards per play in that game. Tee Higgins also remains in concussion protocol.

I'll back in the UNDER in this pivotal AFC showdown.
