I think Allen would keep the Bengals about the same or slightly worse since he's not as accurate and would try making plays with his feet more because the Bengals OL is not good.
I think the Bills would be better if they had Burrow.
Allen, IMO, has a higher ceiling than Burrow given his ability to run but is more volatile.

It's hard to say. Allen has a throwing elbow injury right now that might even need surgery in the offseason, so I am not sure how much we can truly judge his performance in the 2nd half of this season.
Generally speaking, Allen turns the ball over too much and Burrow is the more accurate passer. But that Buffalo defense is pretty damn bad in the playoffs even if the QB plays well. Take a look at their 42-36 loss to KC in the playoffs last year. Allen essentially played perfect football, while his defense got torched.
Burrow has yet to deal with a scenario like the one above. You should know this as well as anyone. Your explosive Rams offense was only able to score 23 on that Cincy defense in the Super Bowl. The Bengals defense has held KC to 23-24 points in 3 straight games as well. That type of defense is massively helpful to all QB's.
