Getting it started nice and early this week, hopefully we can get some winners out of this thread. Last week Q killed it with his initial leans, and there were plenty of good points brought up.
Bills/Bengals- Major letdown possibility here for the Bills. They just beat the Patriots at home in dramatic fashion, and now traveling to Cincy where the Bengals gave away their first home game. Situationally it doesn't get much tougher on a team- much like the Ravens after week 1. Great teams overcome bad situation sport but not always. Buffalo is not a great team. They definitely have a solid offensive attack, but as I said last week there are holes defensively. cb Aaron Williams was injured last week, making an already short defensive backfield more thin. Though Brady was picked 10 times last week, McKelvin, Corner, Florence and Scott all got torched more than once. Biggest concern obviously is AJ Green, but Simpson/Caldwell could cause problems too.
Offensively the Bills seem unstoppable, especially 2ndh. It may sound funny, but Cincy is the best defense the Bills will have faced so far this season. Their secondary may not be #7 in the league as they are currently ranked, after all they played Clev, SF & Denver- hardly a test in the passing game. Leon Hall and Clements are solid, but I do think the Bills have an opportunity to pick on Reggie Nelson..... I do think the run defense is the real deal.
Part of Buffalo's sucess has stemmed from running the ball extremely well to open the season, 163 vs KC, 223 vs Raiders and 79 vs NE. Though it was inly 79 they averaged 4 ypc, and Fred had some very crucial run plays. Now they have to face Cincy who allowed 3.2 ypc to Clev, 3.6 to Denver and 1.7 to the Niners at home. Geno Atkins and Peko in the middle, Fred may have a tougher go at it this week. If the Bills aren't getting yardage in the run game early downs, you can bet that the passing game will not be as effective. Dunlap getting healthier could disrupt the passing game should Fitz be forced into long 3rd down situations. The Buffalo O-line has been amazing in pass protection, allowing just one sack this season. I think Cincy gets more pressure on Fitz this week.
I am not endorsing a straight wager on Cincy, only giving you my opinions on what I see in Bill's games. IMO this is not a good spot to lay the road chalk.
