The Bengals defense has seen this running QB shtick many times. They know how to manage it.

From si.com:

The best NFL game of Week 17 is Bengals V. Bills, and the opening line reflected the matchup's quality. The Bengals opened as a pick-em' against Buffalo and are now a 1.5-point home underdog on (SI Sportsbook) with a total of 49.5 points.

Guys everyone talks about how good Josh Allen has played while he played great the first 6 weeks to start the season, but the past 10 weeks here his NFL rank in several QB stats:

                                   Rank

Passer Rtg: 85.5-      26th

Turnovers: 12-           Most in league

Completion%- 60.6- 30th

Yards/Pass: 6.9-        21st

Pass YPG: 227.7-       12th

Pass TD: 15-               T-8th

 

I hope he keeps a lot of these same numbers for 1 more week.lol

He certainly does turn the ball over a lot and he throws a lot of "should be" interceptions. We need our DB's to bring them down.

Hopefully he keeps those bad numbers up for a few more weeks into the playoffs. Since we most likely will see them again at some point lol.

The Bills are still good, but they don't run the ball well, are starting to show weaknesses covering tight ends and backs out of the backfield, and rely too much on their QB to bail them out.  I like the Bengals here.

They got their running game going really well last week. However, that was against a bad Bears defense. So hopefully it was just a fluke, because if they do truly develop a running game it would make that offense even tougher to stop. 

I assume Prince will start.

This one fooled me.

I'm curious to see how many fans Buffalo will bring. The Bills have a reputation for traveling very well, but the Bengals are starting to get that label too. These tickets are not cheap and I know that stadium will be as loud as ever on Monday night.

Some of the prices floating around for tickets are crazy high.

Per CincyJungle: Hayden Hurst is set to return and Sam Hubbard is questionable for Monday night.

Since the Ravens lost, the Bengals win and they take the AFC North.   If they can beat Buffalo and Baltimore and KC loses, Bengals can get the top seed, the Bye and home field.

Didn't Hakeem Adenjii take Collins' place last week after the injury? I think Adenjii is the expected starter at OT for Collins.
