Even when the NFL is in the offseason, there is always something going on to keep fans engaged. One of the biggest dates in the offseason calendar is the release of the regular season schedule. Every fan goes through that and circles the games that seem to jump off the page. Those circled games are often matchups between potential Super Bowl favorites, as well as rivalry games that always seem to deliver the goods. Given how things played out last season, this is almost definitely a matchup that a lot of people have been looking forward to. The Bengals were the surprise of last season, taking out the Chiefs on their way to the Super Bowl. You can bet that Kansas City will be looking to exact some revenge this weekend, and they are in as a slight 2-point road favorite for this one. The point total is set at 53. Let’s take a closer look at this game between Chiefs and Bengals, so you can bet against the NFL Lines.

Why bet on the Kansas City Chiefs
Earlier this week, we saw the Kansas City Chiefs overtake the Buffalo Bills as the favorite to win the Super Bowl in the eyes of the bookies. If they are to make it all the way to the championship game, the Bengals may be one of the teams they need to beat along the way. That alone makes this one a must watch and wager matchup. The Chiefs are at 9-3 on the season, which has them in as the #1 seed in the AFC right now, and are on a run of 5 straight wins. The Bengals, though, are a team that they have had issues with of late, winning 3 of the last 10 meetings. The Chiefs have yet to beat the Bengals with Joe Burrow under center. They are also 0-6 SU in their last 6 visits to Cincinnati. While KC is making a habit of winning, they are just 1-7 ATS in their last 8 conference games. The UNDER has hit in 4 of their last 6 overall.
Why bet on the Cincinnati Bengals
It’s never easy to make it to the Super Bowl in back-to-back seasons, which is something that we are seeing with the defending champion LA Rams, who won’t even be making it to the playoffs this time around. The Bengals looked to be in a spot of bother in the early going, but they have now won 5 of their last 6 games and are tied with the Ravens at the top of the AFC North. They have been a particularly good bet in their own building, covering 7 of their last 8 homes games, as well as going 12-2 ATS in their last 14 games against conference opponents. The Bengals are also a very good UNDER bet, with 11 of their last 16 games going that route.
Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction
This is one of those matchups that looks to be just a little too close to call. This one really could go either way, but it is the point total that I am looking at here. I think this will be a tight affair that falls UNDER the point total.
