Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals head to Kansas City to meet Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs for a Week 2 NFL matchup. After a putrid showing last week, the Bengals are 5.5-point underdogs for Sunday afternoon's Arrowhead Stadium clash. Sportsbooks have set the Bengals vs Chiefs total at 47.5.

Bengals vs Chiefs Picks Week 2

Bengals +7.5 -154

I'm buying the Bengals spread up to 7.5 here. I feel like Cincy is being underrated after putting up a stinker last week.

Ja'Marr Chase is reportedly back at practice, and this Bengals offense has to be better in Week 2. It's hard to be any worse than their showing against the Patriots. Chase and the Bengals are reportedly very close to finally agreeing on a new contract.

Joe Burrow is 3-1 all-time versus the Chiefs and will have no problem going into Arrowhead and quieting the crowd. He's completed nearly 70% of passes, for 313 yards with 2.3 touchdowns per game against Kansas City. 

Be sure to shop around on this alternate spread line at our best NFL sites. 

Bengals vs Chiefs Prop Pick

Xavier Worthy Under 47.5 Receiving Yards -114

Xavier Worthy had a fantastic NFL debut against the Ravens, scoring two touchdowns and racking up 68 total yards. 

However, he doesn't profile to be a particularly high volume pass-catcher in the Chiefs offense. Rashee Rice hoovered targets against Baltimore and will likely do so all season. On top of that, Travis Kelce is sure to see more than the three targets he received last week. 

As of publishing time the odds on Worthy's receiving yards have yet to be released, but I'm willing to bet against him repeating his fantastic debut.
