On the road?  Bengals hotter than we are, arguably.

I'd have the spread the other way around, but I don't gamble.

Only if the Bills bring their A Game and they don't seem to remember where they put their "A Game" (for safe keeping?).

 

Sure glad we won the division but...

So they think Bengals win since as home team we get 3 points.

[FLFan]

Yes, queue all the fans who think the Bengals should be favored.

We gave them a running game to think about...

 

That can only make things better opening things up for this offense with the way teams have been playing us.

 

Much better passing offense we will be going up against next week. Expect to see a lot more zone, maybe Tre following Chase with safety help all game.

Just about any time two teams are have similar records, both playing well, and both top 5 QB's, I would as a bookmaker look at the Bengals being about a field goal favorite.

 

Lived in Nevada for 7 years and this was kind of the standard line of a 2 point spread with home field usually determining the small spread swing.

People, the Bengals almost lost to the Pats today. If Stevenson doesn’t fumble, they would have lost.

Early forecast - high 40s - low 50s at game time - 50% chance of rain

Would be interesting to see what NE did to shut down Chase

Not anymore.  This supposed home field advantage in point spreads is down to 1.5 and is thought by many gamblers to be BS anymore.  Also, if the Bengals were really favored, the line would be the other way.

Probably because Allen in PrimeTime is something special usually and the Bills have not lost a game they "had to have" all year long.

This has been debatable between books and lines makers for the past couple years

 

Personally think it will trend back towards 3pts as the "COVID year data gets phased out" (maybe a lot have already phased it out, I have no idea)

Bills favored despite the Bengals having by far the best team in the AFC. 

 

One reason. We have Josh Allen and they don't. 

 

Time for for him to show Joey who's boss.

Bengals should have lost to,the terrible Patriots. Bills should be favorites.
