Divisional Round Betting on the Bengals to Cover at Buffalo

• The Bills are five-point favorites against the Bengals on Sunday for the Divisional Round.
• Josh Allen has gone 2-5 ATS in his career in the postseason for the Bills.
• Joe Burrow has gone 4-1 ATS in his postseason career for Cincinnati.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Buffalo Bills are set to host the Cincinnati Bengals during the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs and KC is a five-point favorite. After having their week 17 game canceled, this is the first full game that will feature Josh Allen and Joe Burrow going head to head.

The Bengals went 2-1 SU during the 2022 postseason when playing as the underdog on the road (including the Super Bowl at Sofi).

Bengals/Bills Moneyline

• Bengals +185
• Bills -225

The Bills have been the favorite to win Super Bowl 57 for the majority of the 2022-23 season but failed to even make it past the Divisional Round during the 2021-22 season.

The Bills became the biggest favorite in NFL postseason history at legal NFL betting sites during the Wild Card game against the Dolphins on Sunday. While Buffalo did pull off a three-point win, they failed to cover the 14-point spread at home.

The Dolphins’ defense came to play on Sunday, with two interceptions on Josh Allen. Miami had a -7 turnover ratio heading into the playoff game and the Bengals are +6 heading into the Divisional Round against Buffalo this postseason.

The Bengals showed the effects of their positive turnover ratio with a returned fumble touchdown from the goal line to put the Baltimore Ravens away during the Wild Card round. While Cincy was favored to win this game, Burrow is familiar with playing against the odds and gives legal sports betting value to the spread for the Sunday afternoon matchup.

Bengals/Bills Spread

• Bengals +5.0 (-110)
• Bills -5.0 (-110)

During their 2021-22 postseason run, the Bengals went 3-0 ATS when playing as the underdog on the road (including at Sofi during the Super Bowl) and 4-0 ATS in total. Since Allen arrived in 2018, the Bills have gone 2-5 ATS during the postseason.

With the Bills failing to push the spread by 11 points against Miami and the Bengals being a half point away from pushing against Baltimore on Sunday, the best value is betting on Cincinnati to cover in Buffalo.
