AFC Championship Game Predictions.

It’s nearly impossible to pick against either of these quarterbacks, but one will indeed be heading home after Sunday. We think the offensive line injuries may finally catch up with the Bengals, limiting Joe Burrow’s effectiveness against the KC defense. Conversely, the Bengals pass rush should have a tough time against a Chiefs O-line with a very high pass rush win rate this season.
