Once again, it'll be the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs as the last two teams standing in the AFC with the hopes of representing the conference in the Super Bowl.

Just because things have gone Cincinnati's way the past three matchups does not mean it'll be that way here. The Chiefs are playing in their fifth straight AFC title game so clearly they're a good team and know how to win in these big moments.

That being said, it's hard not to look at the Bengals' recent success both against the Chiefs and overall and not feel confident.

AFC Championship Game odds and prediction

As of this writing, the Bengals are favored by 1.5 points and now they'll have to find another source of motivation other than "Nobody believes in us" because that isn't the case anymore. The Chiefs are underdogs at home because of the injury to Patrick Mahomes and the only thing that makes KC a scary team in this situation is that it'll force Andy Reid to run the ball more.

There's no reason why the Bengals should lose this game, however. If a major injury happens, that's one thing, but losing to a one-legged Mahomes would be a new low. I do think this will be a competitive game until about the third quarter where the Bengals will break away.

Bengals win 28-20 to advance to the Super Bowl.
