I agree with your analysis otherwise. Gives me some hope.

The Bengals, on paper, may very well be the better team. But the Chiefs have everything you need: a team rallying around their beloved QB, a GOAT caliber QB willing to die on the field if it gets them the win, good counter-punch options on offense across the board, a defensive line playing very loose, the best linebacker corps we've had in the 21st century, and a ton of young, hungry talent in the secondary.

This isn't the best Chiefs team of all time, but it's probably Top 8. And with Mahomes out for blood, they're going to punch above their weight.

I trust Burrow and the Bengals to roll with the punches and deliver their own haymakers, but I don't think this is going to be a route either way unless Mahomes goes ham.

Top 8? Just by the fact Mahomes plays on on it makes it top 5 by default.
