NFL 5* Golden Total-Bengals/Chiefs
(NFL) Cincinnati vs. Kansas City, 01/29/2023 6:30 PM, Score: 20 - 23
Total: 48.50 | -111.00 Under
Result: Win
Bengals @ Chiefs 6:30 PM ET
Game# 323-324
Play On: Under 48.5 (5*)

It will be extremely cold in Kansas City on Sunday night with temperatures in the low 20’s and winds of 11 MPH which will make it feel approximately 10 degrees colder. Even with these 2 great offenses and star quarterbacks, the weather isn’t ideal for either passing attack. Add in the uncertainty of how much Patrick Mahomes will be affected by the high ankle sprain, and we may witness a lower scoring game relative to the total than most would expect. As a matter of fact, you may be surprised to know that the Chiefs played 6-0 to the under at home this season in non-division home games with a combined average of 40.3 points scored per game.

The Bengals defense has allowed 18 points or fewer in their last 4 and 6 of its previous 8 games. They have given up their fair share of yards during that stretch but bailed themselves out on many occasions by forcing 14 turnovers, and with 12 of those occurring over their past 5 games. Cincinnati has played 4-0 to the under this season whenever the total was 48.0 or greater with a combined average of 41.5 points scored per game.

Give me this game to go under the total.
