It writes:  "This is one of the better matchups of Week 17. Both of these teams are playing great football, but I like the Bills in this one.

OddsChecker: Go with the Bengals with the points vs. Bills

It writes: "The second half of games has been the achilles heel for both of these teams. Whoever finishes the game better likely gets the victory here. The edge is therefore going to the Bengals who’ve recently demonstrated their ability to close out an elite team against Kansas City. Buffalo has struggled to do the same, for example chocking away a win against Minnesota. For that reason alone, I’m taking the Bengals."

Sporting News: Bengals 31, Bills 28

Bill Bender writes: "This is a mega-Monday Night Football matchup with all sorts of implications, and it could be foreshadowing for the AFC Divisional playoffs. The Bengals have won seven straight games, and they covered the spread all seven times in that stretch. Buffalo has lost two road games by a combined total of five points this season. This matchup will not disappoint, but we're going to stick with the home team – and the over."
