AFC Championship| Chiefs vs Bengals Prediction & Pick

The AFC Championship weekend is set, and if we get anything close to what we got in the divisional finals then we are in for barn burner of a game.

Kansas City Chiefs will welcome the Cincinnati Bengals GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri for a rematch of Week 17 when these teams met at Paul Brown Stadium where Cincinnati prevailed 34-31.

America’s Bookie open this game with the following betting numbers.

The Chiefs are shooting for a third straight AFC championship under coach Andy Reid. This is also the fourth consecutive season, the Chiefs will host the AFC Championship Game. 
On the other side of the line how about them Bengals? The Bengals endured a 31-year drought without a playoff victory and now have back to back playoff wins to boast about.

It’s not a surprise that the Chiefs are favored to win, especially at home.

The 7-points in favor of Kansas City feels tight IMHO and garners no respect for the Bengals who have shown they belong in the AFC championship game.
