The Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills will face off on "Sunday Night Football" in Week 9, and we can't wait to watch these two AFC contenders battle it out. Of course, we're not satisfied with just watching the action unfold. Let's spice up this week's "SNF" matchup with two prop bets you don't want to miss.
Who's ready for the Joe Mixon breakout game?
After a slow start to the season, Mixon came alive in Week 8 with a season-high 110 total yards and a touchdown against an elite San Francisco 49ers. He should have a field day against a Bills defense that ranks 31st in the NFL in yards allowed per rush (5.1). Mixon was listed as questionable but is expected to play.
Buffalo will be without Matt Milano, DaQuan Jones, Tre'Davious White, Kaiir Elam, A.J. Klein and Baylon Spector on defense this Sunday. The Bengals should be able to move the ball at will in this matchup, and Mixon will be the one getting most of the touches.
If the Bengals are going to move the ball and score as much as we expect, the Bills will need to air it out to keep up. Buffalo has already been employing a pass-heavy approach over the last few weeks, too, as Allen has gone over 35.5 pass attempts in three of his last four starts.
The best chance for the Bills to pull off an upset is to put the ball in Allen's hands and feed Stefon Diggs and Dalton Kincaid down the field.
