    Who do you think will win?

    Rooting for Bengals to be honest. Don't think Chiefs deserved to have home field advantage. Also my dear friend at work is an old woman who loves Bengals. Want to see her happy.

    Who is it the Chiefs didn't / don't deserve to have home field against? The Bengals still would have had a worse record even if they had won the canceled game. Why should Buffalo have gotten the #1 seed? Not only can't you assume they would have won the canceled game, they proved last week that they were pretenders anyway. KC was the only possible choice for the #1 seed in the AFC, and also the most deserving choice.

    I think this is a real toss-up game given the home field advantage, but Mahomes' injury makes me give Cincy the slight edge.

    Yes, last week was the game where it was an undeserved home game. The league gave Buffalo that home game against a Cincy team that would've beaten them had Hamlin not gotten hurt and hosted Buffalo. But even then they would've finished a game behind KC and had to travel sunday so its cool now

    I like Cincy and I hope they win, I love Burrow. But I get the feeling that Mahomes is gonna have a Michael Jordan moment where he hobbles all game and lights it up for the victory

    If you want to see her happy, stop referring to her as “an old woman”

    Had to put that disclaimer because sharks on this board love to mess with me. Remind me to tell you the McDonalds story one day :)

    I don't see Reid losing to them in back to back Championship games. He'll be ready this time.

    Bengals win here then lose to the 49ers in the Super Bowl.

    Everyone keeps thinking about the impressive Bengals win in Buffalo, but forgets them being outplayed the week before at home against a Lamar-less Ravens team.

    I think the Chiefs defend home turf and Mahomes finally beats Burrow. 38-31 Chiefs.

    I agree with Ouchy. I can't see the Chiefs losing back to back AFC Championship games at home. Mahomes is 100% and the Chiefs have a better football team then last year..

    Burrows is kind of special. I think the Bengals beat the Chiefs and go back to the Super Bowl.

    Hats off to Generald. What a great job on the National Anthem. I really want the Bengals to win, mostly because I don't want to see Patrick Mahome's attention whoring wife and his attention whoring younger brother.

    Not looking good for Cincy. They can't protect Burrow and so far the running game hasn't backed KC off.

    It was one of those calls that was not going to get overturned by a challenge. Only way that was getting overturned is if the replay came from the league officials.

    Amazing that it was called holding on that miniscule grab...when I think of our guys being tackled and wrapped up with 2 arms and NOTHING called.

    He adjusted. The dude is so accurate and so quick on his throws with pressure in his face. It’s hard to watch.
