@ Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals have been good this season, leading the AFC North with an 8-6 record. Rookie WR Ja’Marr Chase has been an absolute standout this season, hauling in 61 passes for 1038 yards and ten touchdowns as of Week 15. Burrow has had a solid year slinging the football around, and the Bengals’ defense has also been solid. The defense’s performance has been primarily aided by LB Logan Wilson, who has totaled 92 tackles this season, and DE Trey Hendrickson, who has had 13 sacks this season.

Now, this is a game I could see going either-or way. This Bengals team has been strong, and it will come down to the wire as both teams look to be in the playoffs later in the season. However, I feel this Chiefs’ defense will make a motherlode of key plays to keep the game in their favor. Furthermore, the Chiefs’ offense can easily do some damage; the Bengals allow over 249 passing yards per game (26th in the league) and allow 1.4 passing touchdowns per game (T-10th).

As I said earlier, the Chiefs can get them through the air, but this will come down to the wire. I see the Chiefs winning here with how they’ve been playing.
