The wide open AFC

[PatsFan1283]

Not to be a curmudgeon as I will intently watch both games, even if I don’t bet sides or totals I’ll have some props I’m sure but I can’t say either 1 of these games excites me that much for a conference championship game.

Thats not that rare or an occurrence either, a lot of years you just don’t get the best matchups at the end in a sport like football. Or 1 team in conference is superior to the rest.

But Bengals didn’t show me much last few weeks (or all year) that they’re gonna beat the chiefs @Arrowhead. Rams/9ers feels like more of a wildcard round game honestly. I dunno, just kinda blah after such a wild weekend.

I’ll be rooting for both dogs, although if chiefs win probably rather see them play the rams.

Chiefs are extremely vulnerable on defense, coming off a very emotional win

Bengals offensive line has to play better, obviously

I don’t see how cinnci wins at arrowhead. There a good young team with a great rising quarterback. Kc lost that game in cinnci I believe they return to Super Bowl . A Mobil M and company gonna be too much to overcome . Maybe they cover the 7 but Kc should return to the show for 3rd year in a row and maybe there last run. Buffalo had them and couldn’t ,healthy maholmes and company the difference in winning and losing. In another shootout you have to take the chiefs experience over the over performing bengals . They were gifted last week and I’m sure all the money will pour in on the chiefs so I will play bengals and over but I give them about a 15% chance of winning waiting to see if line moves above 7 I think it might

Bengals have a decent chance to win outright

Chiefs are probably going to blitz like crazy, which is not a good strategy at all in my opinion. As bad as Cincy's O-line looked, I don't think it will be as bad this week

If Chiefs blitz, then Burrow is probably going to eat them alive. Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Uzomah, Mixon all getting 1v1 match-ups.....yeah good luck with that.


Bengals defense is a little inconsistent but overall a pretty decent unit. They played awful in the first half against the Chiefs, but then great in the second half. We'll see which defense shows up Sunday.

Chiefs better hope the Honey Badger is back on Sunday. That secondary seemed to really struggle without him.

Yep. Part of reason they struggled at the end, no doubt

I think they are the second-best team based on their entire body of work.

Doesn't really matter anyway. It just matters whose best in January

I was wrong

Bengals were the best team in the AFC all along , not second
