The Cincinnati Bengals will take exception to any label that they are lesser-than opponents following the incredible Divisional Round showdown between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs. After all, they took out the top-seeded Tennessee Titans on the road and they’ve already beaten the Chiefs just a few weeks ago. If anything, they’re likely feeling ready for a repeat round.
As for the Chiefs, they have to be elated and exhausted after taking every punch from the Bills on Sunday night and coming away with a thrilling last-second victory in overtime. For the fourth consecutive year, the Chiefs will host the AFC Championship Game and Joe Burrow and the Bengals are the opponents this time around.
How will the Chiefs fare after such a grueling previous game? How will both teams look on the injury report? Can Cincinnati put together another game plan to overcome the Chiefs? What about the environment at Arrowhead? There are a lot of factors going into Sunday which means we’re likely in for another great game in the AFC Championship.
Chiefs vs Bengals Odds in Divisional Round
The Wild Card round betting odds on WynnBET have the Chiefs as 7-point favorites over the visiting Bengals which feels like a disrespectful toward toward a team already 1-0 against K.C. on the season. Joe Burrow and this Bengals offense is loaded and might be the league’s best collection of skill position players with Tee Higgins, Ja’Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd, and Joe Mixon—not to mention tight end C.J. Uzomah.
The Chiefs have -330 money line odds, while the Steelers are the underdog at +265. The total for the game is set at an over/under of 54 points.
Chiefs vs Bengals Prediction in AFC Championship
Dare anyone pick against Patrick Mahomes at this point? After watching the 13-second miracle in which he brought back the Chiefs from a devastating touchdown to tie the game with a field goal (and a subsequent touchdown in overtime), it would be silly to do so. The Chiefs didn’t make it this far only to fall again to Cincinnati, the past be damned.
Prediction: Chiefs 33, Bengals 24
