have a chance to wrap up the AFC North this week with a win over the Kansas City Chiefs (-4.5). That seems like a tall task because it is. The Chiefs are back to their old ways as one of the hottest teams in the NFL after a slow start to the season where their offense and defense struggled to find their explosive consistency. That is good, though. Because if the Bengals are able to knock them off it not only secures their spot in the playoffs, but it shows they belong there as well.
Cincinnati’s season has been filled with the kinds of up and downs you would expect from a team that relies on a very young core of talented players to go out and win games.
