The Bengals and the Chiefs meet for the 35th time this weekend, and the pressure seems to be all on the Bengals.
With injuries and contract holdouts in the WR Corps and a brand new backfield, the Bengals struggled mightily against the New England Patriots last weekend. Not only did the offense fail to find a rhythm in the game, but the defense could also not hold up enough to find a way for the Bengals to win.
Going into this week, if the Bengals cannot find a spark to their offense, they could be staring down the barrel of a 0-2 start.
As for the defending Super Bowl Champions, they handled business to kick off the season against the Baltimore Ravens. Their defensive line gave the new look offensive line of the Ravens fits all night.
Rookie WR Xavier Worthy was another bright spot for the Chiefs. Worthy recorded a rushing and receiving touchdown.
It will be interesting to see which Bengals team we get this week. They have beat the Chiefs three of the last five meetings.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) thinks the Chiefs cover the 5.5 pointspread.
“Tough choice given how well Joe Burrow has played against the Chiefs. However, right now is the best time to fade the Bengals. Their WR Cops needs Chase to be the man. He can’t do that in a limited capacity.
The Bengals offensive line held up well, but I don’t see that being replicated with Chris Jones on the other side of the ball.”
