Cincinnati Bengals vs Kansas City Chiefs Prediction
I'm going to assume the Bengals are better than what they showed in their opener against the Patriots. With that said, the Bengals still lost to the Patriots. The Bengals are also still dealing with the Chase drama, and Higgins remains questionable. The Kansas City Chiefs have far fewer questions, and they've had extra time to prepare for this game. The Chiefs have also covered each of their last 7 games, going back to last year's playoffs. The Bengals have some showing and proving to do. I'll believe it when I see it. I'll lay the 6 points with the Chiefs at home.
