Coming into the year, the major differences were the Bengals improved their o line and the Chiefs offensive weapons took a hit when they lost Hill. I’d take last years offense from KC over this one despite their record. The Bengals o line was vastly improved, but with the injuries I’d say we will not get the full benefit of that. Even with the injuries I’d still take this o line with Karras directing it over last years.
Burrow is playing even better down the stretch. Mahomes is still Mahomes, but the injury could slow him down a bit.
Defenses are both probably a little better than last year but the Bengals seems to have improved more than the Chiefs based on the eye test without really changing personnel much.
Overall I’d say the Bengals are better this year than last, and despite the better record, I’d say the chiefs were better last year (although still pretty close). They are still more than capable of winning a SB with this group. It will likely be another very close game either way.
