DraftKings: Take the Bills to cover vs. Bengals
Nick Simon writes: "Both teams experienced close calls against backup quarterbacks in their respective Wild Card matchups and should be fully geared up for this heavyweight showdown in the AFC. This should be a fun, tight matchup and I’ll defer to the Bills team to cover as a 3.5-point favorite at home here. Tyler Huntley was able to make some plays for the Ravens against the Bengals’ defense on Sunday and Josh Allen should be able to do even more damage."

FanDuel: Bills 31, Bengals 28
Tyler Maher writes: "While both clubs are legit Super Bowl contenders, we think the Bills will prevail here. They hold the slight edge on both sides of the ball, ranking second in points scored and points allowed compared to the Bengals' rankings of sixth and seventh, respectively. Buffalo also has the advantage of playing at home, where the Bills are 8-1 this year including the playoffs. Accordingly, expect Buffalo to come out on top in a close, high-scoring game between two powerhouses."
ATS.IO: Go with Bengals with the points vs. Bills
Jay Sanin writes: "Buffalo is a great team, but they have not been winning with margin against quality competition. They have played five games this season against teams that ended up making the playoffs. They did not win any of those games by more than four points. Buffalo has proven that they have trouble with elite receivers, as they have struggled to contain the likes of Justin Jefferson and the dynamic duo of the Dolphins. Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will have the same effect on the Buffalo secondary here."

Fansided: Take the under in Bengals vs. Bills game
Josh Yourish writes: "It’d be exciting to have a 45-42 track meet break out between these two exciting offenses, but there are too many issues that popped up in the Wild Card round and make the under the best bet in this one.
Vegasodds.com: Bengals will beat Bills in AFC Divisional Round
Mike Taynton writes: "There will be a lot of emotion surrounding this game following the week 17 cancellation and the awful Damar Hamlin injury. I expect a nervy start but for things to settle down into a thrilling affair soon after. The Bengals’ defense is beaten up and the Bills’ offense will take no prisoners. My head says the Bills will win this one, but my gut says the Bengals can cause an upset. It will be close but I will side with the ‘Who Dey’ nation in this one."
