Who is Favored to Win?
The Chiefs are favored over the Bengals to win the AFC and the Super Bowl. Cincinnati has played Kansas City in two AFC Championships in the last five years. The Bengals went on to win the 2021-22 AFC Championship but lost in the 2022-23 Championship.
The exact line differs slightly from sportsbook to sportsbook, but the Chiefs have better odds at all Ohio betting apps. Below, we go over and explain the odds from the Bengals vs Chiefs 2024 Week 2 matchup.
What is the Spread?
The point spread for Bengals vs Chiefs was 5.5 points, meaning the oddsmakers expected KC to win by at least 5.5 points. Home-field advantage is generally worth about three points in the regular season. The Chiefs ended up beating the Bengals by only one point.
Breaking Down Moneylines
The moneyline for Chiefs vs Bengals was set at KC -250 and CIN +200, according to BetMGM. With KC nearly being an over 2-to-1 favorite, the value here was to bet on Joe Burrow to pull off the upset against Patrick Mahomes & Co, which ultimately failed to do, losing 26-25.
Game Total: Over/Under
The game total for Bengals vs Chiefs was set at over/under 47.5 points, with -115 on the over and -105 on the under. This was the second-highest total of the week, so it looked like oddsmakers were projecting a shootout. And they were right with the total being over 47.5 points at 51 points.
Bengals vs Chiefs Prediction
The Bengals are one of the few teams that have been competitive against the Mahomes-led Chiefs. Burrow is the only quarterback in the AFC not named Tom Brady who has beaten Mahomes in the playoffs.
Joe Burrow is 2-3 against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. The two have already met twice in the playoffs, with one win going to Burrow and the other to Mahomes. Even though the Bengals do not play the Chiefs during the 2025-26 regular season, it is very possible that they will play each other in the postseason. If that does happen, with Burrow's playoff record against the Chiefs 1-1, it could be anyone's game.
