Bengals-Bills Weather Report: Winds Could Be an Issue

Per the Weather Channel, the Bengals-Bills forecast in Orchard Park, New York is for temperatures staying in the low 20s throughout the game, which kicks off at 3 p.m. ET. The chance of snow is 30%, with winds potentially gusting up to 20 mph.

The high winds could favor Bills quarterback Josh Allen over Bengals QB Joe Burrow, given the difference in arm strength. Moreover, the Bills have had more success on the ground this season, ranking seventh in the NFL at 139.5 rushing yards per game. The Bengals ranked 29th at just 95.5 yards per game. Cincinnati ran for just 51 yards in a 24-17 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Wild Card Round.

“We’ve been here before, we still have unfinished business, still playing ball, we still have to get to that level where we left off,” Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd told Sports Illustrated. “Ain’t nothing bigger than that main stage, which was the Super Bowl. We got the taste out of our mouths last year and now it’s time to go get it.”

The Bills come into the matchup after squeaking out a 34-31 win over the Miami Dolphins in the Super Wild Card Round. Allen completed 23 of 39 passes for 352 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in an up-and-down performance.

“I mean, the turnovers, they hurt us,” Allen said. “Really let them back in the game. Up 17-0 with chances, and I give them the ball two times and give them a touchdown, it’s just things you can’t do. And you can’t expect to win like that, so some stuff to clean up.”

The Bengals-Bills weather report calls for some tough conditions for teams that struggled a little in the last round. But based on what each team does best, the Bills should have the edge.

Per DraftKings, the Bills are currently a 5-point favorite over the Bengals at Highmark Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
