The Bills and the Bengals are still in the hunt for the AFC’s No.1 seed, and they go head-to-head tonight in the last Monday Night Football of the season. Cincinnati, the current No.3 seed, also needs one more victory to wrap up the AFC North title, and the matchup between Joe Burrow and Josh Allen promises to be unpredictable and wildly entertaining.

Monday Night Football schedule
If Allen vs Burrow is the headline show, then Stefon Diggs vs Ja’Marr Chase is one heck of a support act, and better still, both teams are at their very best right now. The Bills have won six in a row, while the Bengals have gone one better, winning seven straight games, a run that started at the beginning of November.
The Bills are the AFC’s current No.2 seed and their fate is in Allen’s hands. Win their final two regular season fixtures and the conference’s top spot, bye and home-field advantage will be theirs. Lose tonight, however, and they’ll drop behind both the Bengals and the Chiefs in the pecking order.
In almost all aspects, the Bills appear to have the edge on the Bengals. They’re statistically a more potent passing and rushing team, and the Cincinnati defense has had issues all season long… and yet. That Burrow-Chase combination is irresistible, plus Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd have come to the fore too.
