Joe Burrow is finally back to his best self and is fresh off a massive performance against the 49ers in Week 8. Up against a suspect Bills secondary on Sunday Night Football, our SNF prop picks expect him to keep it up.In a rematch of last year’s AFC Divisional Round, the Cincinnati Bengals are going toe-to-toe with the Buffalo Bills in a game with major playoff implications.give the edge to the Bengals as a 2-point favorite now that Joe Burrow appears to be his healthy old self.
From Week 1 to 4, Burrow was as bad as it gets, sitting 27th in EPA + CPOE composite, which was last among all qualifying quarterbacks. He was 23rd in EPA per play, 24th in success rate, 26th in air yards, and 27th in CPOE over that span. There wasn't a quarterback playing worse football. He’s playing like the quarterback who led the cursed Bengals to the Super Bowl and has thrown for 785 yards with eight touchdowns while completing 78% of his passes over his last three games.
The situation is so dire in the secondary for Sean McDermott’s team that the former Green Bay corner walks into Buffalo as their top cover man and is expected to start against the Bengals after being with the team for less than a week. Even Bills All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer knows that Buffalo is going to need a big day to slow Burrow now that he’s found his stuff again.
Just like at LSU, Burrow’s at his best when he’s on the same page with Ja’Marr Chase, and the two former Tigers have been making magic in recent weeks.
