Bengals-Falcons Madrid Pick, Plus Chiefs-Jets Preview

Man, I hate these international games. It's on the NFL network. But I'll tell you what, man. The Bengals are sitting in a pretty grooved spot right now with an opportunity to really make some noise and improve this record of theirs and maybe make some noise in the AFC. I can't figure out this Atlanta team, Kyle. One week they look like world beaters. The next week they flop around a little bit. I think maybe that's some of the inconsistency of the quarterback. I don't know. What do you see in this game? It's in Madrid. Yeah, you're 100% right there on Atlanta here. It's a product of what they've got at the quarterback position. I understand that Michael Penix is their best quarterback. It doesn't make him a good quarterback. I mean, what we saw in a monsoon last week against Tampa Bay, that's not what you're going to see every week. 16-0, obviously, they get shut down. But you're talking about an offense that functions almost exclusively through two dudes. And a lot of these NFL defenses these days can scheme up to stop two guys. That's not what you're ever going to completely take Bijan Robinson. or Drake London out of things. But if you stop them from ruining the game, I kind of think a lot more bad than good is to come for this Falcons team that's dropped three out of four. And you get a Bengals team that's just cruising. I get that they don't really put together impressive wins. You just kind of barely get there against Tennessee. They beat Miami by a touchdown. Like it doesn't look great, but they're scoring 30 a game during this, or over 30 a game during this win streak. And I think that's here to stay. Jamar Chase, T. Higgins. Joe Burrow, Chase Brown, you can't slow them down. So I don't think it wins in the postseason, but I think it wins this week, and I think they probably end up with 10-11 wins. You know, this is probably, you know, I have to do this because, you know, New York Jet fans, you know, we like to see these guys suffer. They've got Kansas City. Do they cover in this football game, you think, the Jets? I mean. If you had to compare that game to what we're going to see tonight, I will say they have a better chance to cover than the Ravens do. Both games are the same spread. They're both catching 10 points. But I don't really feel good about that. Don't feel good about that at all. They ranked 20th in rush rate success on the defensive end. And all Kansas City wants to do is run the ball down your throat. This could be one of those Kenneth Walker 20 carries for 175 yards kind of games where we just forget what New York's offense even looks like. They're on the field for like 19 minutes or something like that. And it's three and out, three and out, three and out. This game's not going to be fun to watch. I'm sorry to your producer who's a Jets fan. It ain't going to be good here. I'll say they got a better chance to cover than Baltimore, but that doesn't mean that they do.
