Bengals vs. Bills Player Prop
The passing yards prop for Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen is sitting at 272.5.
Allen is ranked 5th among quarterbacks in passing attempts as he heads into the game. To date, he has thrown for 2165 yards while maintaining a completion rate of 71.7%. Given that he is facing a Bengals defense that has done a good job putting pressure on the quarterback so far, I see Allen struggling to deal with the pressure of Cincinnati’s front seven. I’m taking the under at 272.5 passing yards.
The Prop: Josh Allen Under 272.5 Passing Yards (-116)
Bengals VS. Bills Predictions
Pay attention to the point spread lines, as there has been noteworthy action. Initially, Buffalo was the 1.5-point favorite. However, Cincinnati has now taken over as the favored team with a spread of 2.
Buffalo’s most recent game against Tampa Bay saw them look on the defensive side of the ball. I see them as the best bet to cover the spread for this week, with the line at +2.
