#2 Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) at Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) (SNF)
These two teams lost close games this past week. This game will be more important to the Bengals, a win against the Chiefs will give them a potential tie-breaker advantage over Steelers who lost to Chiefs earlier in the season. But, it is easier said than done to defeat this high flying Chiefs offence at Arrowhead stadium in prime-time.
Bengals Primetime Woes, Wounded Chiefs
Since 2011, Bengals are 0-6 in Sunday Night games and 2-5 in Monday night games. But they did win earlier this year on a Thursday night game against the division rival Baltimore Ravens. But, this time the Bengals will be facing a wounded Chiefs team that is coming back home after a close loss in Foxborough against the New England Patriots.
There aren't any glaring issues with the Chiefs offence, except that they play too quickly, but it's the defence that remains a big issue for this team. The defence needs to step up in all segments of the game. They rank dead last in total yards and Pass yards and 27th in Rush. It doesn't matter how good your offence is if your defence is leaking points and yards like the Chiefs are.
The Chiefs will be facing another high scoring offence in Cincinnati Bengals who went toe to toe With The Steelers in week 6, which they lost in the last minute touchdown by Antonio Brown. The Bengals defence also ranks at the bottom of the league just two spots above the Chiefs. The Bengals defence hasn't been able to stop the opposing quarterbacks.
If Bengals have any chance of stopping the Chiefs at Arrowhead they need to contain Mahomes and this dynamic offence. They will come back with all guns blazing.
Fantasy Outlook
Must Start:
All skill position Players from both the teams are must start from this matchup. It will be a high scoring game much like last Sunday night game.
Under the Radar:
C.J. Uzomah, TE Bengals: The Bengals TE had season-high 6 catches for 54 yards that's a good amount of points in PPR format for TE position because of the scarcity of the position. He should see his targets increased especially against a weak Chiefs defence.
Chiefs Defense: Prime Time Dalton is historically bad. He could put up numbers in Blake Bortles and Nathan Peterman range. This is a risk/reward play.
Caution:
Bengals Defense: No defence is safe when Mahomes and Chiefs are Playing.
Prediction:
There are a potential shootout and a close game with this matchup. I will go with the Home team and a wounded Chiefs who will look for a prey after their first defeat and Bengals will be the sacrificial goats.
Chiefs 33, Bengals 27
