The Chiefs (11-4) are where most people expected them to be at this point in the season, they just took a much different route to get there. Kansas City started the season just 3-4, worst start since Patrick Mahomes has been their full-time starter. However, they brushed aside that slow start and now not only own the top spot in the AFC, but also are in the midst of a season-long eight-game winning streak.
Kansas City’s defense has really taken over as the more dominant force during their season turnaround, but Mahomes has finally regained his MVP form. Over his last three games, Mahomes has thrown eight touchdown passes to just one interception. He’s also managed to post a passer rating of at least 105 in three straight games, compared just four such games through the team’s first 12 games.
The Bengals (9-6) got exactly what they needed last week; a blowout win over a divisional opponent that gave them some breathing room atop the AFC North. Joe Burrow threw for a franchise record 525 yards and four touchdowns while completing 37-of-his-46 passes. His performance was just the 24th 500-plus-yard game in NFL history. Not bad for the 25-year-old.
As part of Cincinnati’s offensive onslaught, wide receivers Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase both had huge games as did running back Joe Mixon. Higgins caught 12 passes for 194 yards and two scores, while Chase caught seven passes for 125 yards. Mixon piled up 135 yards of total offense with a rushing and receiving touchdown.
The Chiefs are currently 5.5-point favorites against the Bengals. The over under is 51.5.

The NFL game broadcast rights have stayed similar season over season. CBS gets AFC games on Sunday afternoons, FOX has the NFC games, NBC has Sunday Night Football and some Thursday night football, while ESPN has Monday Night Football. Amazon Prime Video has some Thursday Night Football games, while the NFL Network will continue to offer a bunch of games throughout the year.
So, that makes it really easy to recommend where cord-cutters should turn to watch the NFL season: Fubo TV. Built for all things sports, Fubo has all three of those local broadcasters, plus ESPN and NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
Sling TV doesn't have CBS (not without AirTV at least), so while that's one of our favorite services, it's not ideal for football fans.
