Only reason Cincinnati moved to Prime Time. Otherwise Cincinnati almost never gets moved to Prime Time. Here you have First Place team in AFC North at First Place team in AFC West. That's a good Prime Time Game. Plus they want to get Chiefs on in Prime Time while their quarterback is on MVP pace. It also has promise of 2 high powered offenses against 2 not so good defenses. National TV probably hoping for a 50 to 50 type basketball score.
Now some will say for Bengals the night life ain't no good life. Prime Time and Play-Offs kill them in National TV spotlight.
I'm now thinking, as good as Chiefs offense looks, are they better than Steelers ? Look, Big Ben, Antonio Brown, Smith, Connors, those tight ends, that tough O Line. Plus Steelers defense is better. Bengals just played Steelers close. One of those games last team with ball wins. Big Ben to Antonio Brown was two future Hall of Famers getting us in last seconds like Joe Montana to Jerry Rice. Now are the Chiefs better. No, they aren't. The Chiefs are good, but not better. Bengals proved they can take this game into last seconds of game. Probably last team with the ball wins again.
First Place in AFC North meets First Place in AFC West. I go as far back as 1968 Bengals because I'm old. This old AFL West of Bengals vs Chiefs moving from 1968 to 2018 NFL Prime Time. Paul Brown vs Hank Strahm. Bengals always played Chiefs tough those first years. So for an old AFL Fan like me, I'm looking forward to this. Old trivia is Bengals in need of a kicker got Horst because Chiefs already had Hall of Fame Jan Stenerud. Good pick up for Bengals. I don't remember them ever playing Chiefs on National TV Prime Time or Play-Offs, both in First Place. Bengals in the Halloween Pumpkin uniforms, Chiefs in the Santa Clause uniforms. Very Festive.
Now these defenses may decide they want to look good in Prime Time also, but this does look like it could be both teams putting up basketball scores. I don't gamble, but I see Los Wages has 58 points as the over and under. That's pretty high, but these teams in 2018 show they can put up more points than that. As Always GO BENGALS.
