NFL Week 2 best bet: Bengals vs Chiefs Over 48 (-110)
My Bengals vs Chiefs best bet that there will be plenty of points at Arrowhead Stadium this Sunday. I believe there are plenty of questions surrounding Kansas City's secondary, and I was not overly impressed with the Bengals' defense in Week 1, specifically their defensive line. Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson totaled 120 yards on the ground, and even though Cincinnati generated some pressure, QB Jacoby Brissett had just a 7.7% pressure-to-sack rate. This means Brissett got the ball out quickly and evaded any pressure Cincy sent. Do you know who is elite at evading pressure? Patrick Mahomes. The KC signal-caller ranked second in the NFL in pressure-to-sack rate in 2023 at 11.2% and posted a 10.8% rate in 2022 and 12% in 2021. So, even if the Bengals can generate pressure, Mahomes should be able to get the ball out quick enough and pick apart a Bengals secondary that faced a below-average QB in Week 1.
