KC should coast by Jags, but as long as Jacksonville can avoid the TOs they had against LAC they could make it competitive. I think and I really hope Cincy loses to Buffalo. Cincy is quickly becoming worse than Pittsburgh.Dallas/SF should be a good game. Yep. Pittsburgh fans = Yankee fans Cincy fans = Redsox fans. I think you should try to have a winning culture for a few years before you get all full of yourselves. Pittsburgh, as much as I hate to say it, has earned it. Cincy has a ways to go to do that but it isn't stopping them from acting the part.

I kinda feel for Cincy fans. They've gone through some down years to get here and they haven't spread to every end of the globe like a plague. It's more the team and players I am talking about. A bunch of entitled cry-babies who've earned nothing...yet.

I think and I really hope Cincy loses to Buffalo. Really depends on Buffalo playing decent defense, and Allen not giving the ball away. The Ravens were the better team on Sunday despite not having their starting QB or top 2 receivers, and they showed the defensive blueprint for keeping the Bengals stifled in 3 games this year. Buffalo needs to be taking notes. You're 100% correct about Cincy being worse than Pissburg. They chirp and crow and do those godawful celebrations (btw, the NFL needs to ditch that ridiculous garbage like it used to), but haven't earned it. It's interesting that all of that was tempered down up until the unfortunate play that changed the game. Getting your butt kicked in the trenches will do that to you I guess.

Cincy OL is mincemeat at this point hopefully Buffalo can exploit that.

Yeah the group celebrations are ridiculous and super lame. They're literally doing the stuff from the movie BASEketball but they're serious.

Remember when everyone was bored with the "No Fun League" that disallowed all of it? I don't mind the players expressing themselves a bit. I just wish they had better situational awareness. Celebrating a hard tackle when your defense is in the middle of giving up a 90 yard drive annoys the heck out of me. Act "like you have been there" but still celebrate the truly great moments. A balance is needed.

He should but I think he goes to Miami or back to NE for one more year. He tanked his family and marriage by coming back this year...I think he'll want to justify that for one more year. Chant is the Raiders are interested and motivated.

Cincy has a ways to go to do that but it isn't stopping them from acting the part. I agree. Cincinnati back when Lewis coached it, would have a single good year like a diamond in the middle of a midden pile every once in awhile. They look better positioned for long term success than that, now. But we will see.

They look better positioned for long term success than that, now. But we will see. Burrow is the real deal, and he's got a lot of solid weapons to work with in the passing game. Their run game is "ok". Defense is "ok". They should have lost to a Ravens team with a backup QB and missing top two receivers. I'm not ready to crown them just yet.

They have holes but they still look like they are positioned to be a thorn in our side for a longer period than they have when they occasionally bubbled up to the surface with a decent team in the past.

Well, the Bengals looked the part yesterday in totally dominating the Bills. Just manhandled them on both sides of the line. Given last week, kinda makes me wonder "what if" the Ravens had Lamar.
Chiefs had their hands full with the Jags. Mahomes is hurt. Door is wide open for the Bengals. Never easy at Arrowhead, but I think they get it done and return to the Super Bowl.
Niners and Boys in a great game, Purdy still steady despite a few rookie moments taking sacks he shouldn't have, and nearly blowing a chance to kick a FG before halftime. However, they looked like a team that would give anyone fits. The defense is deserving of their top ranking.
The Eagles looked like a machine. After wondering at 11-0 if they weren't another version of the 2020 Steelers, they've won some big games since, and Saturday they showed that they are the best team in the league. They'll win a slugfest with the Niners.

Bengals will beat KC even with a healthy Mahomes.
Niners/Eagles will be a good game. I think Philly wins but they've never faced an opponent like the Niners, a team that can bring it on defense.

Buffalo might want to consider developing some semblance of running game. Making Allen do everything clearly isn't the answer.

Bengals were unimpressive against Baltimore and impressive against Buffalo. Hopefully they stick with unimpressive against KC.

I think KC's is better although the rest of their defense is pretty suspect.

Was rooting for SF, but pretty tough to beat a very good Philly team when your QBs keep getting injured.
Very happy to see KC prevail and Cincy gets to shut their mouths. Such a Bengals way to lose with a blatant late hit on the second to last play of the game.

"Know your role and shut your mouth, you jabroni!" "Burrowhead my ass, this is Mahomes house!". Kelce said what the rest of the nation outside of Cincy wanted to. Bengals team and fans have quickly become the most disliked in the league. Bunch of cocky, arrogant, mouthy LOSERS. I'll add in my own jab: "Who dey" is lame. You culturally appropriated it from the Saints "Who dat". Try to be more original, and less obnoxious and classless. Team and players alike.

It was pleasant to see all this burrow hype shut down, I got sick of the ESPN guys creaming themselves for burrow. Im actually sick of maholmes to same deal.

I really need to stop betting on football. I got both games right. Although to be fair I managed to lock in the Chiefs at +1.5 early in the week before it swung around to -1.5. I did consider taking the cash out option in the third quarter though. If they would have offered even money, I'd have taken it.

Typical Cincinnati every year, Play at high level and flounder at the end, every time. They just don't have it .
