Pick

This should be a very good game to watch between two of the better teams in the AFC on Sunday Night Football. Buffalo has played inconsistently to start this season and they have really had struggles in their last four games. Cincinnati started the season slow, but they have won three games in a row and are getting healthier. The Bengals made a few big mistakes in their last game, but they were able to overcome them for a big road win in San Francisco. The Bengals being at home is going to be the difference in this game, especially because I can’t trust the Bills at all right now. Take Cincinnati here.
