Can you really call any team and underdog this week?

Can you really call any team and underdog this week?

After last week, probably not. On paper, Bengals....

 

[jeb6294]

I am from Cincinnati and even I would say the Bengals. I think they've shown they can be a relevant team again and could be a great team if they can get a decent O-line to protect Burrow. They've got a big hill to climb this week though: 1, they're playing in KC which is a notoriously tough place to play, and 2, KC could come in with a serious chip on their shoulder after they lost in Cincy a few weeks ago.

 

[redneck joe]

A) as a lifer Chiefs fan I'm always scared

B) if we have to lose I'd be more happy to lose to Burrows. Great story

 

[RGrew176]

Go Rams.

Go Bengals.
