The Bills are sitting on top of the AFC East through four weeks of the season, but the Bengals have turned it on and provide some solid competition for Sunday.

If Week 4 is any indication for this game, the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals are ready to put on a show on Sunday in what could become one of the marquee matchups to watch in the Week 5 lineup.

Somehow, someway, the Bills are the AFC East leader through the first quarter of the 2017 season, with two big wins over the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons over the last two weeks to put on their resume.

Meanwhile, the Bengals only have a 31-7 win over the Cleveland Browns on their schedule so far, but Andy Dalton’s impressive performance against the Browns defense could be the start of something strong for the Bengals offense heading into a pivotal game with the Bills.

Odds: Bengals -2.5, according to Sportsbook Review

This one should be an incredibly close game with how well these two played last week, and the odds obviously match that mindset going into Sunday. The Bills are clicking on all cylinders at the moment, the Bengals are getting their momentum rolling at the moment, and the two teams are on a collision course towards each other for Week 5.

This one should be a fun one to tune into on Sunday in the early slate of games, and I see it staying as close as Sportsbook Review thinks it will. It’ll likely come down to the final few minutes of the fourth quarter, and don’t be surprised if the last possession of the game determines the winner of this one.

However, I think the Bills will pull out the win in a close one on the road, and keep their spot atop the AFC East with another impressive win to add to their list of victories over the last few weeks.

Prediction: Bills 24, Bengals 21
