Kansas City Chiefs vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals should be able to get back on track this Sunday against the pitiful Chiefs.  Cedric Benson should really take advantage of the very soft run defense of the Chiefs which is allowing 162.6 yards rushing and 4.8 yards per carry.  When Benson needs a rest or the Bengals are winning by a comfortable margin look for Larry Johnson to thrash his old team.  The Chiefs only have 19 sacks this season so Carson Palmer should have enough time to slice up the secondary like a surgeon.  Look for Chad Ocho Cinco to be dancing in the end zone a couple of time this weekend.

The Chiefs have been running the ball well lately with Jamaal Charles so the defense will likely focus on stopping him.  They should be able to handle Charles as they are only allowing 85.2 yards rushing per game and 3.8 yards per carry.  The Bengals are not a team that blitzes too much but they might change that for this game as Chiefs’ QBs have been sacked 44 times this season.  Matt Cassel has proven this year that he will throw into coverage when he has a pass rush in his face so look for Leon Hall and Jonathan Joseph to make some big plays on Sunday.

PREDICTION:  BENGALS 27, CHIEFS 13
