The Bengals beat the Chiefs
twice last year regular season and postseason this time around,
the Chiefs are two and a half Point. Favorites
at what used to be Paul Brown Stadium. I can't remember, what
they,
it shows, you how these naming rights, really remember. If you
don't have his money, well, spent when you can't remember
what the place is called, whatever the place is called
in, Cincinnati is where they'll be playing 52 and a half, is
the over under Chris to the Bengals. Get to three in a row
over Patrick Mahomes in the Chiefs
Gosh. It's just like I can't imagine anybody winning three
in a row against the Chiefs now, that's where it's amazing
to think about it.
They do match up, well, with the Chiefs
and a lot of ways,
but I do think there's some differences from last year,
all right? So the first thing I would say is
I think the Chiefs offense is
a notch better than it was last year.
I think they make you defend more things this year
than they have.
They have compared to last year. Won their run game is
real this year. Like you can't just go. Well yeah they might
run it every now and then, and we're just going to play know.
It's real
pacheco's, a real Force, he adds an attitude to their game,
their screen game in their short, passing game is improved.
So, I don't think the Bangles are going to just sit back and,
oh, wait, we just wait for Tyree kill cross this way. And
another guy crime will be all over it. They're just more to
defend their
so and then of course Mahomes is the best quarterback in
the game right now.
And then I think on the other side of the ball, I think
the same thing Rings true to me a little bit is that I don't
think
the Bangles have as much to do offend as they did. Last year,
they're coming along, they're better on that side of
the ball, but it is going to be Jamar Chase's first game back.
And, you know, they are past protecting better,
but they're still not really a run game.
And last year there was a run game that the Chiefs had
a worry about. And I do think the Chiefs defense is just better
than last year. David.
So I'm going to take the Chiefs to win this one. 2824, I think
they're just a different team right now
and kind of plan on
a very elite level
and and know when to step on the gas and when they got to
and I think they're going to be pissed off that they lost two
games in a row of this team. Last year, they're going to
prove a point. I'm going to take the Chiefs
Well, going into this game, we disagreed on five straight up
and five against the spread. Let's run that number 26.
I got the Bangles
boat 11:23. I look up.
The Chiefs are unlikely to run the table. They've been very
good but you know they kind of screwed around with the Rams
last weekend. They barely covered the spread. It it felt
like for a
long time. They weren't going to,
they've been down in some of these games have had to work
their magic. To come back. I there's just something about
the Bengals
and they've got the number of the Kansas City Chiefs and they
have extra Swagger when they play the Chiefs. Plenty of
teams out. There are intimidated by the Chiefs,
the Bengals, for whatever reason
are not there. Now they have a level of confidence against
the Chiefs, at the Chiefs usually have against everyone else.
That's what stunning to me. Your bring back Jamar, Chase.
And you look at how they've been winning without Chase.
All of a sudden. Chase is back if they get Joe Mixon back as
well. And and we don't know whether or not he's going to be
good to go. We had the concussion that knocked him out
last week, they get both of those guys back. It's
a different ball game
and again, they're very confident. They're very loose,
everyone expects them to lose their home underdogs and
I guarantee you, they're going to be hearing about that in
the locker room. They've just got
They've got that edge to them.
That I think makes a difference
and, and they're the
one team in the AFC
that should have had a bull's-eye on their back all
year long. It's worked out perfectly for them. No one's
really taken them seriously. And even if they win this one,
I don't think people are going to take them. Seriously. I got
27-23
Bengals win and I hear you. My goes. I like a lot what you
said, and I think a lot of it is very true. You're
right. Maybe it's fascinating that this team is,
you know, to know against the Chiefs and 2 and 0 against
the Titans. Times they play them. Nobody's can really say that
against those teams
and there is a toughness about them in a grit. There's one of
the things I wrote in my notes this week watching that game
back against the Titans, is there like a ball control
passing football team? It's unreal
and borough has just found the right way to play to protect
that offensive line and do all the right things and of course,
he just phenomenal.
We're definitely seeing a matchup of
what I would say. Is the
best quarterback and Football verse the number.
Three best quarterback in football and I'm excited to see
that that's for sure.
So do you want to do you want to change your pick? Is that
what you're saying last chance? No, I do not. I do not want to
change and
change in. There's only one game that I've wanted to change
our. I've been risky with it. The Jets Vikings. The only.
Wow.
Yeah, I know, that's the only one but I'm,
I'm feeling good. I'm alright. I'm going to make some ground
up against you this week. I know I can feel it. We'll see.
