Cincinnati Bengals @ Buffalo Bills
In their Week #11 matchup, these teams played in a regular season classic that saw the Bills come out victorious 28-25 over the Bengals in overtime. Dan Carpenter's heroics kept Buffalo's #1 seed in the AFC dreams alive with an end-of-regulation field goal and the eventual game-winner in the extra frame.
"Let's home it doesn't come down to kicks again," Carpenter said. "But if it does, I'll be ready."
The Bengals have finally broken through during the Marvin Lewis era with this their best chance at Super Bowl glory since the 1980's.
Vontaze Burfict and Adam "Pacman" Jones, never strangers to making great soundbites, have been unabashed in their trash talk leading up to Sunday's AFC Championship Game.
"We got the film on (these) jokers," Jones said. "We comin' to kill 'em all."
Burfict, who missed the first three games of this season after a late hit on Miami's Thomas Rawls a season ago in the Wild Card Round will most certainly face a fine for his comments leading up to his team's showdown with the Bills.
"If I gotta break Aaron Rodgers' legs, then so be it," Burfict said. "Fine me man. I'm going to put him out of the game - him or that lame Gurley man."
Bills players have been noticeably quiet under Anthony Lynn.
When asked to comment on the injury prediction, Rodgers simply gave a thumbs up and asked for further questions.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Emotions versus confidence. Cincinnati has lived all season on 'swagger' and trash talk. Buffalo has won with guts and intelligence. Advantage Bills.
PREDICTION: Bills win 30-20
