![]() I think that’s a large factor in the team’s success. John Dixon ( of the things that I love about Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid is that he works so hard to get his players to treat every game on the schedule as the most important of the season. Here’s the message they are preparing to send in Cincinnati: “You guys got us last year. I expect the Chiefs to come out firing - but this time, finish the game. The Bengals are better - but Kansas City arguably has more motivation. We saw what a locked-in Chiefs team did to the Buccaneers in Week 4. All of that work to get back leads to this game. They’ve all had all offseason to stew on that - and we’ve seen each of them in peak form this season. In the biggest moment of the season, Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones all failed. Nate Christensen ( no other way to say this: last year, the Chiefs failed. With so much pride riding on this game, I don’t see the Chiefs making the same mistakes that allowed Cincinnati to get two wins over them last season. Now it’s time for the Bengals to get their comeuppance. Then he got revenge on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Super Bowl LV. First, he got revenge on the New England Patriots for the 2018 AFC Championship. Tom Childs ( is something Patrick Mahomes normally gets if he wants it. The Bengals are going to get their points on offense - they’re too talented not to - but I don’t think they can score with Kansas City. The Bengals rank 29th in sacks, so quarterback Patrick Mahomes should leave the field with a clean jersey after getting lots of offensive opportunities.

The Chiefs need to be able to move the ball as effectively as they have all year. What will matter are the strengths of these two teams. ![]() Price Carter ( games as big as this one, it’s hard to avoid narratives like, “the Bengals own the Chiefs” or “Mahomes is going to be locked in and motivated.” Ultimately, all of that stuff sounds great at the microphone on Thursday - but when the players hit the turf on Sunday, none of that matters. Let’s see what the staff - and our readers - think about the matchup. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Kansas City is favored by 2.5 points. Will we do as well for the next game? In Week 13, the Chiefs are on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals. Nine of 10 thought it would be an easy win - and of those, half predicted a blowout. Our readers also thought the Chiefs would win comfortably. Our aggregate prediction of a 34-16 Chiefs victory was 16 points removed from the 26-10 final. Three of the four best game predictions that Arrowhead Pride contributors have made for Kansas City Chiefs games this season have all come in the last three weeks - most recently, the ones we made for the Week 12 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
