Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals pounce into this Week 7 matchup sporting a 4-2 record that pegs them as the best team in the AFC North. Since the 4-2 Ravens are currently sitting at No. 2 in the division, it’s clear that Cincy needs a rebound this weekend if they are to maintain the status quo atop the AFC North. Fortunately for the Bengals, they just happen to be 6-2 against the Chiefs in their last 8 run ins. However, Cincinnati has yet to face the Mahomes-led Chiefs, which are undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with. Looking over the numbers, it’s clear that this matchup will end up being a shootout. Right now the Bengals are scoring 29.0 per game which isn’t too far from the 35.8 figure that Kansas City puts up. Defensively both sides are flawed with the Bengals giving up 26.3 per match and Kansas City giving up 28.7. It’s looking like this matchup will in fact be going over this Sunday.
Players to Watch: Andy Dalton (1,674 passing yards, 14 TD, 7 INT), Joe Mixon (336 rushing yards, 2 TD, 0 F), and AJ Green (494 receiving yards, 5 TD, 33 REC).
Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs are looking like one of the most explosive teams in the NFL. In fact, as we approach the mid-season mark, most online NFL wagering players are pegging Kansas City as Super Bowl bound. However, the Chiefs are notorious for starting strong and losing steam as the end of the season approaches. Nevertheless, Kansas City fans are confident that Mahomes will be able to put a cork in this trend. All in all there’s no question that Mahomes is playing like a Top 5 quarterback at the moment. We’ll have to see if he’s able to maintain this high level of play as the season progresses. He is surrounded by great talent so it seems that Mahomes should be able to pull through.
Players to Watch: Patrick Mahomes (1,865 passing yards, 18 TD, 4 INT), Kareem Hunt (456 rushing yards, 4 TD, 0 F), and Tyreek Hill (567 receiving yards, 6 TD, 34 REC).
