Accounting for their underlying play style and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Cincinnati Bengals to run on 34.0% of their opportunities: the 2nd-lowest frequency among all teams this week.The predictive model expects this game to see the 2nd-smallest number of plays run on the slate this week at 124.0 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.Calm weather conditions (like the 2-mph wind being predicted in this game) generally mean increased passing efficiency, increased TD potential, increased air volume, and lower ground volume.The Cincinnati Bengals O-line ranks as the 10th-worst in the league last year in run support.When it comes to the linebackers' role in defending against the run, Buffalo's LB corps has been terrific this year, projecting as the 3rd-best in football.
