Derek Carr has good playoff experience. He’s completed 68% of his passes this season, 428-of-626, for 4,804 yards, 23 TDs against 14 ints. Former Crimson Tide standout Josh Jacobs has rushed for 872 yards and 9 TDs. Former Clemson standout Hunter Renfrow is a force on the perimeter with 103 receptions for 1,038 yards and 9 TDs. Tight end Darren Waller is excellent with 55 receptions for 665 yards and 2 TDs. The other tight end is very good as well, as Foster Moreau has caught 30 passes for 3 TDs. Bryan Edwards, a former standout at South Carolina, has caught 34 passes and 3 for TDs. Linebacker Denzel Perryman leads the team with 154 tackles, which is 6th in the National Football League. Falcons linebacker Foyesade Oluokun led the league with 192 tackles. The Raiders have 6 ints on the season.

Joe Burrow has had a terrific sophomore season in Cincy. He has completed 70% of his passes, 366-of-520, for 4,611 yards, 34 TDs against 14 ints. His leading target is his former teammate at LSU and a rookie, Ja’Marr Chase, who has caught 81 passes for 1,455 yards and 13 TDs. Former Clemson standout Tee Higgins has 74 receptions for 1,091 yards and 6 house calls. Tight end Tyler Boyd has 67 receptions for 828 yards and 5 scores, and fellow tight end C.J. Uzomah from Auburn has 49 receptions for 493 yards and 5 TDs. The Bengals superb running back Joe Mixon, from the University of Oklahoma, has rushed for 1,205 yards and 13 TDs. On defense, linebacker Logan Wilson has posted 100 tackles and leads the defense with 4 ints. As a team, the Bengals have 13 ints on the season.

Decision

The stats point to the Bengals winning at home. The weather in Cincy at kickoff is 33, wind about 7-8, and no precipitation. Everything points to the home team winning, but the Raiders have won 4 in row and they have the vet in Carr under center and I like Jacobs to have a big game as well. Give me the more veteran team here. I’ll take “Duh Raiduhs” to pull off the upset.

Bills by 5

Josh Allen has a had a big year for the Bills completing 63 percent of his passes, 409-of-646 for 4,407 yards, 36 TDs against 15 ints. He’s also rushed for 763 yards and 6 TDs, Devin Singletary is a highly capable running back having rushed for 870 yards and 7 TDs this season. The great Stefon Diggs has caught 103 passes for 1,225 yards and 10 TDs. Cole Beasley is a terrific possession receiver and clutch when Allen needs him to be. He’s caught 82 passes for 693 yards and 1 TD, but his value is getting first downs when the on critical third downs, and he’s super at that. Stellar veteran Emmanuel Sanders has caught 42 passes for 626 yards and 4 TDs and excellent tight end Dawson Knox has 49 receptions for 587 yards and 9 TDs. Wide receiver Gabriel Davis has 35 receptions for 549 yards and 6 TDs. Singletary is very good out of the backfield with 40 receptions. On defense, linebacker Tremaine Edmunds has posted 108 tackles. Safety Jordan Poyer added 93 tackles and is tied for the team lead with safety Micah Hyde with 5 interceptions. Former Alabama corner Levi Wallace is a starting cornerback for the Bills and has registered 58 tackles on the season and picked off 2 passes.

Mac Jones had a solid rookie season for the Patriots. The former great from Alabama completed 352-of-521 passes, 68%, for 3,801 yards, 22 TDs and 13 ints. Mac had his ups and downs, but was pretty good overall and his future looks quite bright. Former Alabama star Damien Harris rushed for 929 yards and 15 TDs. Former Oklahoma standout Rhamondre Stevenson is excellent as well having rushed for 606 yards and 5 TDs. Veteran Brandon Bolden from Ole Miss had a big game last week for the Patriots and could be a factor tonight. Bolden has rushed for 226 yards and 2 TDs. The Patriots lost their great veteran running back James White to injury before the season started. Bolden has seen more carries lately and has produced. Jakobi Myers leads the offense with 83 receptions for 866 yards and 2 TDs. Kendrick Bourne has added 55 for 800 and 5 TDs. Tight end Hunter Henry, from Arkansas, has 50 receptions for 603 yards with 9 TDs. Nelson Agholor has 37 receptions for 473 yards and 3 TDs. Linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley leads the defense in tackles with 109. Safety Adrian Phillips adds 92 and 4 ints. Safety Kyle Dugger has 92 tackles and also 4 ints. Cornerback J.C. Jackson has 8 ints, one of which he’s taken back to duh house. Former Crimson Tide stellar linebacker Dont’a Hightower still leads the Patriots defense in the middle. Dont’a has 64 tackles on the season and is the quarterback of the defense.

Decision

Another factor in this game is the weather. The temperature at kickoff is a balmy 8 degrees with a wind chill of -4. Wind not bad at 7 MPH. Just very cold. But Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels doesn’t think that’s a big factor. He said his team is used to it in New England, so they can certainly handle it. The Bills feel the same way. Give me Bill Belichick and Mac in an upset at Orchard Park.

Patriots 24, Bills 21
