NFL Week 5, Bills at Bengals: Game time, TV schedule, online stream, odds and more

The Cincinnati Bengals are coming home after getting their first win of the season. They will have a chance at winning their first game at home this year after losing the first two in Cincinnati this year. The Bengals will be hosting the Buffalo Bills who are somehow 3-1 this season.

Injuries are likely to impact this game as the Bengals are without Tyler Eifert, John Ross, Ryan Hewitt and Derron Smith due to injuries. Meanwhile, the Bills are without EJ Gaines, Jordan Matthews and Ramon Humber.

The Bengals’ 31-7 win over the Browns last week was just what the team needed as far as a confidence boost. The team still has plenty of areas to improve upon though. The running backs struggled outside of Giovani Bernard’s 61-yard touchdown catch before halftime. Also the Bengals need a receiver not named A.J. Green to step up.

Still, Andy Dalton had his best day of the season throwing four touchdowns and completing 25 of his 30 pass attempts. Tyler Kroft also broke out and caught two touchdowns

The Bills shipped off Sammy Watkins and Stephon Gilmore before the season. They were star players on both sides of the ball for the Bills, so naturally the move made people think this team was on the route to tank during the 2017 season. They now sit at an impressive 3-1 with wins over the Broncos and Falcons in the past two weeks. They now sit atop the AFC East with the Patriots and Jets both sitting at 2-2.

This game is huge for both teams. The Bills need this game to keep a lead against the Patriots. They also are still looking for some respect as they opened the game as a three-point underdog to the Bengals.

If the Bengals win this game they will enter their bye week at 2-3. They will have plenty of time to prepare for the Steelers in Week 7, which could end up being a huge momentum swing if the Bengals could get to 3-3.

It is time to see if the Bengals have turned a corner after their poor start.
