Prediction
The Kansas City Chiefs club is appearing in the AFC championship game for the fourth time in a row and have won the previous two as well as Super Bowl LIV back in 2020. The Chiefs became the first club in NFL history to play five consecutive conference championship games at home. Mahomes will join Tom Brady and Ken Stabler as the only quarterbacks to start five straight conference championship games. To become the first team since seeding started in 1975 to win back-to-back Super Bowls without receiving a top-two seed, the Bengals are attempting to make it to the championship game. They enter this matchup having faced difficult opposition in their previous games. The Bengals have beaten the Chiefs in regular-season games, which is a benefit for the Bengals club. The most successful offense in the league, led by Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, has a chance to succeed once again. But Kansas City will still have the benefit of playing at home this time. Therefore, the Kansas City Chiefs have a better chance of winning this game and moving on to the Super Bowl. Due to their injuries, Kansas City listed Darrel Williams and Clyde Edwards-Helaire as doubtful. Meantime, Josh Tupou, Stanley Morgan, and Cameron Sample are still questionable for the Bengals team.
