This.
I feel the Bengals can beat the Chiefs. No doubt about it. But "on paper" it is pretty clear why the Chiefs are a 6 point favorite.
Chiefs had almost twice as many wins against winning teams than Bengals (7 to 4) and a much higher winning percentage against winning teams (.636 to .571). Chiefs had more wins against playoff teams (6) than any team in the league.
Chiefs had the #4 scoring offense and #8 scoring defense. Bengals had the #7 scoring offense and #17 scoring defense.
