Bengals at Chiefs

MDS’s take: Cincinnati’s big win over the Giants could be the first step toward a surprise late-season run back to the playoffs, and there’s no way the Bengals will stumble against a terrible Chiefs team.

MDS’s pick: Bengals 34, Chiefs 10.

Florio’s take: Logic tells us that the winless-at-home Chiefs should fall to a Bengals team that found a way to knock off the defending NFL champions. But the Chiefs are due to finally get that second pickle. It won’t do much to make things better in Kansas City, but things won’t get worse — at least not this week.

Florio’s pick: Chiefs 23, Bengals 20.
