The Bengals are a balanced team, with a metric ton of offensive talent, a good secondary, and tough in the trenches.
The Chiefs are capable of handling all this, but they have to get to Burrow, and they have to keep Mahomes clean.
I do agree with everyone that Mahomes and Reid want to absolutely murder the Bengals, and I bet both of them will be at the top of their game. But there's a reason the Bengals swept us last year in the exact same way: they are very talented and their coaching staff had a great feel for our tendencies.
I have this game as a true tossup, maybe even a very slight lean to the Bengals.

Our change in personnel wont be the reason we don’t get stifled. Mahomes is just better than he was last year. He’s been the key to this explosive offense, and he’ll be the key to us winning on Sunday
Mahomes sucked in the AFCCG and it had nothing to do with personnel. The key is for him to do what he’s done all year, play at an elite level and give no ****s
