This is going to be a rematch of the game that never happened this year. However, the Bengals are now playing on the road in this game and that will not bode well for Cincinnati. I do look for the Bengals offense to keep pace in this game and keep the Bills from covering the spread, but I think the Bills are going to pull out the win at home, but the total is going to be toast in this game as neither team plays defense here.
