The upset minded Cincinnati Bengals Take on the Buffalo Bills
The upset minded Cincinnati Bengals Take on the Buffalo Bills

After one of the biggest victories in team history, the Buffalo Bills will try and beat the Cincinnati Bengals.

All of the NFL Odds for this game and the entire week four NFL schedule can be found at online sportsbook BetPhoenix.

The high flying Buffalo Bills come to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals in a week four NFL match-up. The Buffalo Bills are coming off a 34-31 defeat of the New England Patriots while the Bengals are coming off a crushing 13-8 defeat at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday.

The Bills are surprising everyone this year as they are one of only a handful of undefeated teams after three weeks of play. At 3-0, the Bills are only one win away from matching their win total from last season.

The only concern for the Bills this week on defense is that they will be thin at corner. The Bengals suspect offensive line should allow for a steadier pass rush, but Buffalo has only 4 healthy corners after losing Aaron Williams to a collarbone injury against New England. Rookie 7th round pick Justin Rogers will be activated for the game.

How will the Bengals hope to win this game? Rookie quarterback Andy Dalton is going to have to bounce back from a rough performance against the 49ers on Sunday and show why he was considered one of the most NFL ready prospects in the draft. If he cannot move the ball, it could be a long day for the Bengals.

Another uncertainty for the Bengals going into this game is the status of running back Cedric Benson. He is one of their steadier offensive weapons and where he goes, the team usually goes. When Benson rushes for over 100 yards the Bengals usually win.

In the Bengals lone win this season, he rushed for 121 yards with a key 39 yard touchdown in the final minute to seal the victory. Benson is uncertain as he may be facing suspension for violating the personal conduct policy during the NFL lockout. The NFLPA is expected to appeal on his behalf.

On defense, the Bengals are going to have to contain Fred Jackson, who is sixth in the NFL in rushing and had the key catch that set the Bills up first and goal to seal the game against New England last week. Also, stopping Buffalo quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will be huge as well. Buffalo's offense has averaged 37.5 points a game this season and Fitzpatrick has thrown 9 touchdown passes already this season.

While Buffalo passed the test against New England, this game against the Bengals will be another test. It is one thing to beat good teams, but how do they fare against teams they should beat? Good teams dominate lesser teams, so it will be interesting to see how they handle Cincinnati on Sunday.

Buffalo will have to come to this game prepared or they could easily get upset.
