Man just about every single person on ESPN picking the Bengals

The older I get the more I realize the opinions of pundits are all warped by extreme recency bias. I can't enjoy it anymore because they think they see something in "the film" and then need to find a way to retroactively explain why it happened. What makes it even more infuriating is how it's all delivered in a snide, authoritative tone as though they're handing down cherished wisdom of the ages from the gods.

 

Obviously, there is thoughtful and informed analysis but the vast majority of take givers are a waste.

I like it. Bills have no pressure at all then as the Bengals are now supposed to win easily. 

 

 

no presure at all???

I don't think the media affects how the Bills prepare and view the game, it will be pressure packed for both teams.

3-2 in favor of the Bills

 

And in other statistical news, our defense really sucks on 3rd down.

The Bengals have played more mistake-free football than the Bills by a wide margin, and if the game becomes a shootout the Bengals have two elite weapons (Chase, Higgins) compared to our one (Diggs).

 

Can’t hate on anyone on the outside who picks them in this game, there’s enough objective reasons to justify it. 🤷‍♂️

Every narrative I read now is "bumbling Allen."   The Bills COULD win, but our many turnovers will result in a loss.

 

Give me a break.  He was perfect in the postseason last year.  The team got all of their mistakes out of the way against Miami.

 

I'm not usually one to be over-confident, but I don't think this one is particularly close, especially w/ Cincy's O-line situation.  We're going to look like we did for some of those games in September & October.

Nah not on Buffalo was just watching Marcus Spears basically say Josh Allen is a turnover machine  and the Bengals are the 85 Bears 

why do you watch and listen? We know more about both teams than they do
