00:00And the City Chiefs hosting the Cincinnati Bengals. It's the

00:06marquee matchup of Sunday in the afternoon window. On in-game

00:11live on Sunday, Joe Ranieri and Mike Fluitt will be previewing

00:15that game as the early window wraps up. Before we dive into

00:19the numbers for this specific Sunday showdown, let's look at

00:23the history between this budding rivalry in the AFC. The

00:27narrative Joe around the first three meetings between Borough

00:30and Mahomes was that Joe had Patrick's number and Cincinnati

00:34was ahead. Two regular season matchups late in both 2021 and

00:392022 went the way of the Bengals, but most notably, it was

00:432021, the Bengals winning the AFC Championship in Arrowhead

00:49in overtime. But as of late, Kansas City has had the answer.

00:53They edge out Cincinnati the following year in the AFC

00:57Championship game. They go on to Super Bowl 57 and win their

01:01first of now two consecutive Lombardi trophies over

01:04Philadelphia. And then last year, Joe Borough did not play

01:07in the week 17 game, but still very important for KC because if

01:12you remember at the time, the Chiefs were slumping. There was

01:15a thought that they could lose the AFC West, a division they

01:19had won seven consecutive seasons, and they picked up a

01:222517 win over Jake Browning and the Bengals. But it's been a

01:27good series between these two organizations, which is

01:31interesting when you look at the numbers for Sunday.

01:35Yeah, and the problem is, and this is a just a huge value play

01:39for me, Ben, because I was all over Cincinnati when this line

01:42opened up at six and a half, then it was six. Now it's down

01:46to five and a half here. It wouldn't shock me if it even

01:48gets to five. Listen, this is total overreaction to what we

01:52saw from Kansas City against Baltimore, keeping in mind that

01:57Patrick Mahomes in that game had six, count them, six plays of

02:02at least 20 yards or more last week. I can assure you, Joe

02:07Anarumo there and the Trey Henderson are not going to

02:11allow Patrick Mahomes to sit back there and throw the ball

02:15all over the field and beat them deep here. Joe Burrow,

02:20always Zach Taylor, always terrible out of the gate in

02:23game one. But then what happens is as the season progresses,

02:27they get better, better and better. Turnovers killed the

02:30offense last week against New England. I promise you that will

02:33not be the case here. I am fully anticipating a night and day

02:38turnaround with what we're going to get from the Bengals in this

02:41one.
