2024 FTN NFL Power Rankings Through Week 15: Who Takes Over the Top Spot?
Daniel Kelley
The Buffalo Bills will travel to Ohio to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in a game which has huge playoff implications. This may be the game of the year for Monday Night Football. The Bills led by MVP candidate Josh Allen are rolling through the season looking to get to their first Super Bowl in over 20 years.
The Bengals are led by another MVP candidate, Joe Burrow, who is attempting to get the Bengals back to the Super Bowl with a different result this time.
Joe Burrow Over 280.5 Passing Yards
(-120, PointsBet)
Joe Burrow is having another fantastic season for the Cincinnati Bengals. He already has over 4,200 passing yards on the season and will most likely need to add another 300 passing yards to beat a great Bills team. Burrow continuously produces in big games, and I expect this Monday Night Football Game to be no different. Burrow threw for over 350 yards last week against the New England Patriots on the road. That is an incredibly impressive feat especially against a Bill Belichick defense. Burrow does a great job at spreading the wealth among a very talented receiving core led by Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, both of whom are healthy right now. The Bills pass defense is in the top 10 in most statistics. However, those may be skewed slightly due to playing horrible quarterbacks so far this year especially in the AFC East division. The best comparison to Burrow would be Patrick Mahomes, who threw for 338 yards on the Bills earlier this year.
Josh Allen Over 45.5 Rushing Yards
(-120, DraftKings)
Josh Allen is having a monster year through the air and on the ground. Allen is typically averaging between 7-11 carries per game running the ball between designed runs and scramble runs. Throughout his career, in big games Allen has typically leaned on running the ball especially late when things get tight. This year against the Minnesota Vikings, in a game which many would say was the best of the year, Allen ran for 84 yards while trying to will his team to victory. He is already over the 700-yard mark as a runner while averaging 6.5 yards per carry. I would expect Allen to see at least eight carries between scrambles and designed runs which should have him well over the 45.5 rushing yard mark.
