- The Chiefs are home favorites in the AFC Championship Game against the Bengals.
- Cincinnati has three straight wins over Kansas City dating back to the 2021 regular season.
- Stuckey previews the game and reveals his favorite picks below.
Well, this feels familiar, seeing Bengals vs. Chiefs odds on the board again in late January.
We’re looking for a Bengals vs. Chiefs pick as the two teams meet in Kansas City with a spot in the Super Bowl on the line for the second straight season. Cincinnati, of course, pulled off the upset in the AFC Championship game last season.
That was one of three meetings between these teams, with the other two coming in the regular season in the Queen City. The Bengals swept all three straight-up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) with each victory coming by exactly three points.
What wasn't familiar this week when looking for Bengals vs. Chiefs picks was seeing Patrick Mahomes listed as a playoff underdog, which was the case earlier this week (that has since changed). He has been favored in each of his first 12 career playoff games — a record for the Super Bowl era.
