Description
The Bengals last five playoff games dating back to last season have been decided within a touchdown or field goal.
After surviving an upset-minded Ravens team in the wild card round last weekend, 24-17, Cincinnati heads to Buffalo to face a Bills team that survived a similarly upset-minded Dolphins team led by third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson, 34-31.
Never mind the fact the Bills are No. 2 seed and the Bengals are defending AFC champions looking to run back their conference title. This is the playoffs. Nothing is out of the realm of possibility.
The Week 17 matchup between both of these teams was supposed to show a window of what a respective showdown would look like, but that game was ultimately postponed and cancelled. There's not much tape for either team to take away from the other after just nine minutes of action between the two.
Buffalo's biggest question mark is whether quarterback Josh Allen can hold onto the ball effectively after being turnover-prone against Miami last weekend. On the flip side, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will have to do battle without three-fifths of his starting offensive line as Jonah Williams and Alex Cappa will both be out for Sunday's game.
As discussed on the Strictly Stripes podcast earlier this week, the defining features for the Bengals will be how well Burrow can sustain pressure and whether or not they can win the red zone battle with Buffalo. Nonetheless, these will all go into the makings of what could be another heart-throbbing playoff battle.
The Strictly Stripes crew convenes to give their final predictions and thoughts on Sunday's upcoming divisional matchup for the right to play in the AFC title game. They explain why this will be a close game, no matter who wins, and they grade criticism of the Bengals from outside critics as Cincinnati is a 5.5.-point underdog.
This podcast features Mohammad Ahmad, Andrew Gillis and Michael Niziolek.
