The Kansas City Chiefs square of against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Chiefs have won 8 straight games with Patrick Mahomes and the offense finding their rhythm and the defense playing very well. If Kansas City wins this game they clinch the number one seed in the AFC giving them a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Chiefs defeated the Steelers last week 36-10 in dominating fashion and are widely considered by most NFL fans to be the best or second-best team in the league behind the Packers. However, the Cincinnati Bengals are looking to continue their push for the playoffs and cannot only clinch their playoff spot but also can win the AFC North with a win in this game. Cincinnati has one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL led by QB Joe Burrow who torched the Ravens last week, Pro Bowl RB Joe Mixon, and one of the most talented WR groups in the NFL which could pose a problem for the Chiefs CBs which have been inconsistent all year. The Colts take on the Raiders in what could be a playoff elimination game for Las Vegas. For The Raiders they enter this game currently 8-7 coming off a 17-13 win against the Broncos. Las Vegas has been resilient all season despite everything that has happened off the field it’s surprising that they still have a shot to make the playoffs but they’ll need to win this game and also get some help if they hope to make the postseason. The Indianapolis Colts have been one of the most talented teams this year boasting several pro bowl players, a great defense and led my MVP candidate Jonathan Taylor. The Indianapolis Colts could be without starting QB Carson Wentz in this leading rookie QB Sam Ehlinger to get his first NFL start if Wentz can’t get out the NFL’s COVID protocols. The Las Vegas Raiders offense has struggled over the last month and they have failed to score 20 points in their last four games. Will the Raiders defense be able to slow down Jonathan Taylor and the Indianapolis run game? Or will the Colts prevail even without their starting QB? The Tennessee Titans take on the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are on a 7 game winning streak making them one of the hottest teams in the NFL. Miami’s defense has been stellar getting a lot of pressure sending a lot of exotic blitzes, they have Saints rookie QB Ian Book fits in their 20-3 win on Monday Night. The Titans defeated the 49ers last week but their defense bailed them out forcing two critical interceptions on 49ers QB Jimmy G as the Tennessee offense failed to move the ball effectively all night. Will the Titans offense continue to struggle against the Dolphins elite defense? Will the Dolphins extend their win streak to 8 games and continue their late-season playoff push? Dallas host the Arizona Cardinals in one of the biggest NFL Week 17 matchups. The Dallas Cowboys are one of the hottest teams in the league right now currently on a 4 game win streak and coming off a dominating 56-14 win against Washington. Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals have gone ice cold dropping their last three games and even though they’ve clinched a playoff berth they still have a lot to play for as they currently are one game behind the Los Angeles Rams for the NFC West. With both teams already having their spot in the playoffs secured, the winner of this game will remain in the running for the number one seed in the NFC playoffs behind the Green Bay Packers. Can the Arizona Cardinals solve there offensive struggles? Or will the Cowboys prove to once again be one of the best teams in the NFL? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jtsports/support
