Bengals@Chiefs Prediction
#8
Bengals 34 Chiefs 20

I feel like KC is going to try to use a run-heavy offense to protect Mahomes and his possibly diminished mobility. I don't think they will push the ball as we normally expect them to, but I do think they will have success, just not enough to keep up.

My confidence in Burrow is higher than it's ever been, and he has to be smelling blood in the water. If they can run the ball like they did in Buffalo, I don't know who stops them. If a team commits to stopping the run with loaded boxes, it's game over with a qb like 9. The only defenses I fear in the AFC are the ones in the North that we see twice a year. Outside of that, even the more highly rated ones have had no real answer for this offense. KC has a nice d-line, but that secondary is still extremely vulnerable.

I respect KC. They rarely lose games. That said, they were in some real nail-biters vs some really bad teams late in the year. Denver took them to the wire twice. Even the lowly Texans gave them a fight.

While they do have an impressive run game, I still think it's hard to suddenly be something you're not in a game this huge. Mahomes may still be better than most of the qbs in the league with limited mobility, but this will essentially be a team that's forced to change it's personality to a large extent. This is not the game for that, nor the team to do it against. Baltimore's run game gave the Bengals fits, but that's what the Ravens live and die by. They weren't just improvising. KC is an Andy Reid pass-oriented offense that gets bored when they go run heavy. If an offense puts pressure on them by scoring, they'l try to revert to what they are out of necessity, and if that happens we'll really see what kind of limitations the quarterback has.
