Their strength on defense is their edge rushers who aren't overly speedy, but relentless (sound familiar?). Their passing game relies on a lot of deep shots off play action that were jump balls that Waller won many times and that had some really bad CB play against guys like Ruggs that I don't see our guys giving up.
They have a solid roster and a good offensive line, too, though, so they won't be a cupcake (especially on the road) but they won't be impossible, either.
Good thing the Bengals have them coming off a bye.
Pretty much agree with everything else you have said here. Early in the season, it was said the Bengals might be favored in one or two games. Right now, I can only see them NOT being favored against the Raiders (possibly) and the Chiefs (but they will have to start showing something).
This three game road trip has allowed for a lot more home games down the stretch with only Vegas, Cleveland, and Denver for remaining road games after this weekend.
The Chief's are an easier win this year than in the past. They have a suspect O line, their Defensive line gets little push, and they lead the league in turnovers. The thing is though, they put up points on offense, scoring 30 most games. Our offense is going to have to come out hot and keep up. I think our Oline can give Burrow plenty of time, and if we can get the lead, Mahommes will continue to try to force the ball. The consensus on Sirius is the Chief's have relied on Patrick too long and have not kept the rest of the team up to par.
