The Cincinnati Bengals (13-4) visit the Buffalo Bills (14-3) Sunday in an AFC Divisional Round matchup at Highmark Stadium with a 3 p.m. ET kickoff (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Bengals vs. Bills odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The game we wanted in Week 17 will finally take place with this showdown in Western New York. When the 1st meeting was canceled in the 1st quarter after Bills S Damar Hamlin required CPR on the field, the host Bengals were leading 7-3. QB Joe Burrow was 5-for-5 passing with a TD, but he also had a full complement of offensive linemen in front of him.

Sunday, he won’t have LT Jonah Williams (knee) and RG Alex Cappa (ankle), who have been ruled out, joining RT La’el Collins (torn ACL, out for season). Missing the trio will make it difficult for the Bengals to move the ball, something they failed to do well in their 24-17 Wild Card victory over the Baltimore Ravens as they only had 234 yards on offense.

The Bills, despite the scoreboard being close in their playoff-opening 34-31 victory over the visiting Miami Dolphins dominated the stats. If not for 2 INTs by QB Josh Allen and a Miami fumble return for a TD, Buffalo would have won easily — Allen threw for 352 yards and 3 TDs on top of his 2 picks.

Bengals at Bills picks and predictions.

Prediction

Bills 27, Bengals 17

Moneyline

Buffalo (-240) will win, but risking 2.4 times the potential profit is not a wager worth making.

I could see adding the Bills (-240) to a parlay, however.

Against the spread

BET BUFFALO -5.5 (-114).

This line takes into account the Bills’ struggles against the Dolphins last week. It’s not taking into account the Bengals missing 3 starters on their offensive line. The Bills defense will take advantage, pressuring Burrow and limiting the production of RB Joe Mixon.

The Dolphins offensive line held up well against the Bills with QB Skylar Thompson time making a few key plays. Burrow will not have the same amount of time and will find it difficult to move the team downfield.

As mentioned, the Bengals only produced 234 offensive yards against the Ravens. A 98-yard fumble return in the 4th quarter by DL Sam Hubbard turned out to be the difference.

This game will not be close enough for a play like that to keep Cincy within striking distance.

Over/Under

UNDER 49 (-111) is the way to go.

While the Bills have been scoring and giving up points — as shown in their 34-31 win over the Dolphins — the Bengals will struggle to score with 3 starting offensive linemen out.

Look for Buffalo to jump out to an early lead and keep the undermanned Bengals at bay. The O/U line of 49 is a bit too high.

First look: Cincinnati Bengals at Buffalo Bills odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals at Buffalo Bills AFC Divisional Round odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Cincinnati Bengals (13-4) will attempt to leap over the 2nd-seeded Buffalo Bills (14-3) Sunday at Highmark Stadium at 3 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Bengals vs. Bills odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Both teams were expected to cruise into this matchup in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, but both were tested.

The Bills were 14-point favorites, but struggled against QB Skylar Thompson and the Miami Dolphins before escaping with a 34-31 win. The Bills outgained the Dolphins 423 yards to 231, but QB Josh Allen had 3 turnovers (2 INTs and a fumble) to keep Miami in it. RB James Cook rushed for a TD and TE Dawson Knox had a TD for the 5th game in a row for the Bills.

The Bengals (-7.5) pulled off a miraculous 24-17 win over NFC North rival Baltimore on a playoff-record, 98-yard fumble return for a TD by DE Sam Hubbard. The Bengals were outgained by the Ravens 364 yards to 234.

Both defenses will need to play better. The Bengals need to reduce the number of yards allowed, while the Bills must cut down on turnovers and giving teams short fields making it easier to score.

Bengals vs. Bills head-to-head

Before the Week 17 canceled game between the teams, the last meeting was in 2019 with the Bills winning 21-17 as 5.5-point favorites. While Allen was in that game for the Bills, it was Andy Dalton at QB for the Bengals. RB Joe Mixon had a receiving TD for Cincinnati.

Buffalo leads the all-time series 17-15, but Cincinnati won both playoff matchups.

AFC Wild Card: Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals Wild Card odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[mm-video type=video id=01gpk7ehqxd0kevjtk5m playlist_id=none player_id=01evcg1x9ny8tb834m image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01gpk7ehqxd0kevjtk5m/01gpk7ehqxd0kevjtk5m-d9b8309707c8862defa1c7c9f0053c72.jpg]

For the 2nd time in as many weeks, the Baltimore Ravens (10-7) and Cincinnati Bengals (12-4) will square off – only this game is for a spot in the divisional round of the playoffs. Kickoff in this Wild Card matchup from Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati is at 8:15 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Ravens vs. Bengals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Ravens will once again be without QB Lamar Jackson, who hasn’t played since Week 13 when he injured his knee. The Ravens haven’t named a starter yet, but it’ll either be Tyler Huntley or Anthony Brown. Baltimore limps into the postseason having lost its last 2 games, falling to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Bengals to close out the regular season.

The Bengals are red hot. They’ve won 8 straight games, most recently the 27-16 win over the Ravens, although they didn’t cover as 11.5-point favorites. They’ve scored at least 20 points in those 8 games, winning 4 of them by at least 10 points. Cincinnati scored the 7th-most points (418) in the NFL this season and allowed the 6th-fewest (322).

Ravens at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 21, Ravens 13

Moneyline

The Bengals and Ravens split the season series, though in the 2nd matchup Baltimore rested its starters. Playoff football is a different animal and it often comes down to quarterback play and the Bengals clearly have the edge there.

That being said, I’m not going to risk it on the Bengals to win outright with the ML sitting at -450. PASS.

Against the spread

According to BetLabs, the road team in divisional matchups during the playoffs are 16-8-1 ATS since 2003. That applies to this game with the Ravens and Bengals both playing in the AFC North.

The Ravens are facing an uphill battle with Jackson out, but it’s a large spread and the Bengals are just 1-2-1 this season when favored by at least 7 points.

BET RAVENS +9 (-110).

Over/Under

The Ravens and Bengals combined for 43 points in their Week 18 meeting, but that was with Baltimore resting a lot of starters on defense. When healthy and playing at full strength, the Ravens defense is among the best in football.

Cincinnati will be going up against a bad Ravens offense that shouldn’t score more than a touchdown or 2 so I would LEAN UNDER 40.5 (-110) in this matchup.

Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Baltimore Ravens (10-6) face the Cincinnati Bengals (11-4) Sunday. Kickoff from Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Ravens vs. Bengals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

After their Week 17 game with the Buffalo Bills was ruled a no-contest, the Bengals were declared AFC North champions. While that usually comes with a home playoff game, the Bengals will need to win Sunday’s game to lock it in.

If the Ravens win Sunday, they will sweep the season series vs. the Bengals but would finish a half game back in the standings. The league decided, with the owners’ approval, that if this was the case and the Bengals and Ravens were to meet in the Wild Card round, a coin flip would decide home field for that game. If they’re not pitted against each other, the Bengals host a playoff game in the 1st weekend. And if they were to meet later in the postseason, Cincy would host as the No. 3 seed.

Cincinnati has won 7 in a row and covered the spread in all 7, being favored in 6 of them. The Bengals are a league-best 12-3 against the spread (ATS) this season.

Baltimore, which will be short QB Lamar Jackson, is 6-9-1 ATS and coming off a 16-13 home loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers as a 1-point favorite in Week 17. The Ravens are 2-5 ATS over their last 7 games.

The Ravens beat the Bengals 19-17 in Baltimore in Week 5 on Justin Tucker’s 43-yard field goal as time expired. The Bengals had taken a 17-16 lead after a 13-play, 75-yard drive with 1:58 remaining, capped by QB Joe Burrow’s 1-yard run.

Ravens at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 31, Ravens 10

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bengals are 5-1 at home and have won 7 straight. With Jackson out, the Ravens should stand little chance, so backing Baltimore at +365 doesn’t make much sense.

Betting Cincinnati (-450) will cost 4.5 times the potential return, which is also not wise.

Against the spread

BET BENGALS -9 (-110).

After the decision handed down by the NFL on how the Bengals’ canceled game will impact their playoff odds, the team seemed upset. Expect that anger to turn into production on the field and the score should back that.

As mentioned, Cincinnati has been a covering machine, while Baltimore has not. The Bengals have covered 4 of their last 5 home games. Plus, the Ravens are 2-3 ATS following a loss.

Considering where the motivation will lie and the talent taking the field — the Ravens down their MVP quarterback — BACK THE BENGALS -9.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 39.5 (-110).

The Bengals offense was absolutely clicking against a top-notch Bills defense. Cincinnati scored a touchdown on its 1st drive Monday vs. Buffalo and looked to immediately answer again, driving into Bills territory prior to the game being canceled.

The Bengals have scored 20 or more points in their last 7 games and have topped 25 in 4 of those. On the other side of the ball, they may also be short their top cornerback in Apple.

With Baltimore being held to 13 points or less in 3 of its last 4 games, expect this to be a blowout, and with a total this low, I’d play OVER 39.5 (-110).

Cincinnati Bengals at New England Patriots odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Cincinnati Bengals at New England Patriots odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The red-hot Cincinnati Bengals (10-4) head to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., to take on the New England Patriots (7-7) Saturday at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Bengals vs. Patriots odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Joe Burrow and the Bengals have won 6 straight games and are 1 game ahead of the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North and 1 game behind the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The Bengals, who beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34-23 as 3.5-point favorites last week, host the Bills in Week 17.

The Patriots are coming off an excruciating 30-24 loss against the Las Vegas Raiders and this game is crucial to their playoff hopes.

Bengals at Patriots picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 23, Patriots 14

Moneyline

PASS.

The spread in this game is only 3. The Bengals are the better team and should be able to cover that number. However, I would not want to wager -155 on the moneyline. It would make a nice addition to a multi-team parlay play though.

Against the spread

BET BENGALS -3 (-112).

Burrow is coming alive again in December. After falling behind by 17 points last Sunday, Burrow led the Bengals back with 31 points in the 2nd half.

WR Tee Higgins showed his abilities when WR Ja’Marr Chase missed time and now that Chase is back, the Bengals are dominating secondaries. The Bengals need this game to stay ahead of the Ravens in the AFC North and will not be looking ahead to the Bills — their next opponent — which is bad news for the Patriots. BENGALS -3 (-112) is my FAVORITE PLAY.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 42 (-110).

Even with the explosive nature of the Bengals offense, this game should be a bit lower scoring.

Weather is forecast to be freezing and windy which will mean far more rushing than in a normal Bengals game. They will still score. But not enough to get this game over. The Patriots are banged up in the backfield and this will make it difficult for them to put up a lot of points.

Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’sCleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cleveland Browns (5-7) meet the Cincinnati Bengals (8-4) in a Week 14 matchup Sunday. Kickoff at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Browns vs. Bengals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Browns have won 2 games in a row against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans, which is actually a season high. The Browns welcomed QB Deshaun Watson back from an 11-game suspension last week, but he was very rusty. It was the defense and special teams saving the day, accounting for all 3 TDs in a 27-14 win in Houston.

The Bengals are looking for revenge after getting embarrassed 32-13 in Cleveland on Monday Night Football in Week 8. Cincinnati, a 2.5-point underdog last week, earned a 27-24 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, as QB Joe Burrow improved to 3-0 against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. However, he is 0-4 all-time against the AFC North rival Browns.

Browns at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 27, Browns 20

Moneyline

The Bengals will cost you nearly 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s risky business considering the Browns won the 1st matchup by 19 points. Cleveland also comes in with a modest season-high 2-game win streak, and Burrow has never beat the Browns, so there is plenty of risk.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Play the BENGALS -5.5 (-112) for a solid value here.

Yes, Burrow hasn’t beaten Cleveland in his career, but Cincinnati is jockeying for 1 of the top spots in the AFC playoff picture. The Browns offense was awful last week, and needed a miracle on defense to beat a bad Texans side. This isn’t a good football team, and Burrow and the Bengals will put the Browns in their place Sunday.

Over/Under

OVER 46 (-108) is the lean, ever so slightly.

The Under is actually 3-1-1 in the last 5 inside the AFC North for the Browns, but the Over is 12-4-1 in the last 17 against winning teams.

The Over is also 7-1-2 in the last 10 meetings in this series, and 6-for-6 in the last 6 meetings in the Queen City.

The Kansas City Chiefs (9-2) and Cincinnati Bengals (7-4) clash in a Week 13 matchup Sunday at Paycor Stadium. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Chiefs vs. Bengals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

This is a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game which Cincinnati won in overtime 27-24 as a 7-point underdog. The Bengals also defeated the Chiefs earlier that season 34-31 as 3.5-point underdogs.

The Chiefs are currently on a 5-game win streak, though they’re just 3-7-1 against the spread (ATS) this season. They haven’t covered the spread since Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers when they won 44-23 as 1-point favorites. Star QB Patrick Mahomes is having an MVP-caliber season, leading the league in passing yards (3,585), passing TDs (29) and passing 1st downs (190).

The Bengals are on a 3-game win streak, coming off a 20-16 win over the Tennessee Titans last week as 1-point favorites. Cincinnati is 8-3 ATS this year with 3 of its 4 losses being decided by 3 points or fewer. The team also hopes to bring back RB Joe Mixon (provided he can pass concussion protocols) and WR Ja’Marr Chase from injury (barring a setback) after missing Mixon in Week 12 and Chase in Weeks 8-12.

Chiefs at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 30, Bengals 27

Moneyline

Part of the reason why the Chiefs couldn’t beat the Bengals in the AFC Championship Game last year was the lack of pressure — they were only able to sack QB Joe Burrow once. However, the Chiefs have a much better pass rush this year — they’re currently 5th in the NFL in sacks with 35.

The Chiefs also seem to have a better running game this year with rookie RB Isiah Pacheco earning 275 total yards on 54 touches in his last 3 games. Look for the Chiefs to establish the run in this matchup while Mahomes spreads the ball around.

It should be close, but I’m leaning toward Kansas City to win this revenge game.

BET CHIEFS (-135).

Against the spread

Both games between the Chiefs and Bengals last year were decided by 3 points. The odds of this matchup being that close are high, so you’re probably better off betting the moneyline instead of the spread — you could be disappointed if this one is decided by 1 or 2 points.

AVOID the spread and take the Chiefs on the moneyline.

Over/Under

This Over/Under is tough because it’s entirely dependent on how much each team’s defense shows up. The big-scoring potential is there but both defenses have great games under their belts this season.

With that in mind, these are 2 top-5 NFL offenses. It’d be tough for this one not to total out at 53 or above.

LEAN OVER 52.5 (-110).

Bengals at Titans picks and predictions

Prediction

Titans 27, Bengals 23

Moneyline

BET A HALF UNIT ON TITANS (+120).

Tennessee has just found ways to win games and I expect that to happen again in Week 12. Getting the Titans at plus odds makes them an enticing wager in this contest.

Against the spread

Considering that I took Tennessee to win, TITANS +2.5 (-102) is where I’m going for another HALF-UNIT wager. The Titans will lean on RB Derrick Henry Sunday and it remains to be seen if the Bengals can slow him down.

The Titans are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between Cincinnati and Tennessee.

Over/Under

OVER 43.5 (-112) is where I’m leaning, especially if the Bengals get Chase back on the field. Despite the Titans being a team that leans on their ground game with Henry, they’ve gotten some chunk plays in recent weeks.

The Over is 4-0-1 in the last 5 games for the Bengals. The Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Bengals and the Titans when the game is in Tennessee.

Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cincinnati Bengals (5-4) visit the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-6) Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Bengals vs. Steelers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Coming off their bye week the Bengals will still be without star WR Ja’Marr Chase. They will have RB Joe Mixon, who scored 4 TDs in their last game, a 42-21 home win as 7-point favorites against the Carolina Panthers Nov. 6.

The Bengals will look to avenge a 23-20 opening-season loss to the Steelers. Despite outgaining Pittsburgh by 165 yards (432 to 267), Cincinnati lost as a 7.5-point favorite. The Bengals could have won, but K Evan McPherson missed 2 field goals, one at the end of regulation and another in overtime.

With trading WR Chase Claypool to the Bears, it will be prudent for WR Diontae Johnson to minimize his drops — something which has been a struggle his entire career. He did OK in the Steelers’ 1st game after the trade, pulling in 4 catches on 5 targets for 63 years in last week’s 20-10 home win vs. the New Orleans Saints — Pittsburgh was a 1-point favorite.

But having to face a Bengals defense that has been solid recently and having a limited number of weapons, the Steelers could be in trouble.

Bengals at Steelers picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 27, Steelers 20

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bengals (-190) will win, but I’m not a fan of making a moneyline bet of -180 or higher. It’s not worth the risk.

Against the spread

BET BENGALS -3.5 (-108).

The Steelers played good in the second half against the Saints last Sunday, outscoring New Orleans 10-0. However, the Saints were without a true QB and their best WR in Michael Thomas. They also played without star CB Marshon Lattimore.

The Bengals will come in fresh off a bye and looking to avenge the Week 1 loss. Mixon is coming off the best game of his career and WR Tee Higgins along with WR Tyler Boyd will be able to beat Pittsburgh’s defense down field.

If the Bengals’ offensive line can control Steelers LB T.J. Watt long enough for QB Joe Burrow to throw, this will be a cover for the Bengals.

I expect the O-Line to do just that, making CINCINNATI -3.5 (-108) my pick here.

Over/Under

BET OVER 40 (-108).

It took overtime for these AFC North rivals to get to 43 points in Week 1, but these teams are far better now than they were in the opener. Plus, Burrow is fully healthy after an off-season appendix surgery. This makes the difference here.

With K Boswell out, the Steelers will take more chances. The Bengals already do this. More drives equal more points. OVER 40 (-108) is my FAVORITE PLAY.

Carolina Panthers at Cincinnati Bengals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Cincinnati Bengals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Panthers (2-6) are on the road in Week 9 to face the Cincinnati Bengals (4-4) on Sunday at Paycor Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Panthers vs. Bengals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers lost 37-34 in overtime to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8, but covered as 4.5-points underdogs. RB D’Onta Foreman has 236 rushing yards and 3 TDs in the last 2 games following the trade of RB Christian McCaffrey.

The Bengals were blown out 32-13 by the Cleveland Browns in Week 8 as they failed to cover as 3-point favorites on the road. Cincinnati will be without WR Ja’Marr Chase for a 2nd straight game, which limits the offense’s ability to create big plays in the passing game.

Panthers at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 24, Panthers 20

Moneyline

Given the massive odds in favor of the Bengals, I’ll PASS on betting on the moneyline in this game. Taking Cincinnati to win at home will net you nearly nothing in return, so it isn’t worth the risk.

Against the spread

PANTHERS +7.5 (-117) is where I’ll be going in this game with the struggles that Cincinnati’s offense could have with Chase sidelined. Meanwhile, Carolina has been much more competitive with coach Steve Wilks following the firing of Matt Rhule.

The Panthers have covered the spread in 2 straight games and they are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings against the Bengals.

Over/Under

Give me OVER 42.5 (-110) as I believe these teams can hit the low total despite the struggles from both offenses we’ve seen at times this season. The Bengals have enough weapons in WR Tee Higgins, WR Tyler Boyd, and RB Joe Mixon to score a decent number of points on Sunday.

The Over is 4-0 in Carolina’s last 4 road games against a team with a winning home record.
