Schule's NFL Very Early GRIM REAPER B-L-O-W-O-U-T - KC@CIN
(NFL) Kansas City vs. Cincinnati, 10/04/2015 9:00 AM, Score: 21 - 36
Money Line: -192.00 Cincinnati (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Chiefs looked terrible in a loss to Green Bay on Monday night, and they are in a tough spot heading into Cincinnati to play the 3-0 Bengals on short rest. The Packers exposed the inexperienced Kansas City secondary, and the Bengals are certainly a team that can pile up the yards with their passing game. Andy Dalton threw for 383 yards and three TDs on the road at Baltimore last week.

The Bengals are 13-2-1 in their last 16 home games, and they have won three straight against Kansas City dating back to 2008. The Chiefs have allowed an NFL worst 10 TDs on 861 passing yards, and it won't get any easier this Sunday. The return of suspended corner Sean Smith will help, but they lost another starter with Phillip Gaines tearing his ACL last week in Green Bay.

Alex Smith has not played well, but his offensive line hasn't done him any favors. He's been sacked 11 times so far this season. The strength of the Kansas City offense is the running game with Jamaal Charles, but Cincinnati's defense has been tough against the run, allowing opponents to average 76 rushing yards per game so far.

Take CIN.
