CINCINNATI +2 Kansas City

KC has gone from one of the best head coaches in the league to one of the worst.  Hiring Herman Edwards makes no sense at all the Chiefs will pay. Larry Johnson says the Bengals have bitter memories from last year. KC held a 30-3 lead in the final three minutes but still chucking passes into the end zone, and hitting one.

“It left a bad taste in our mouth,” said Johnson. “Nobody’s forgotten that game.” Now eight months later and buoyed by Carson Palmer’s remarkable recovery from reconstructive knee surgery, the Bengals will open the season Sunday in the very stadium and against the very team that mauled them 37-3 in last year’s regular-season finale.

The Chiefs had already been shut out of the playoffs because of Pittsburgh’s victory that day over Detroit. But in Dick Vermeil’s final game as head coach, they wanted to see Trent Green get 4,000 yards passing and Larry Johnson erase the team rushing record. So they kept pouring on the fire and, at the Bengals’ expense, both did. Green’s 4,014 yards made him the fourth quarterback in NFL history to post three consecutive 4,000-yard seasons. Johnson had 201 yards and three TDs and a team-record 1,750 yards.

“We’ve had this game marked on our calendar for a year,” said Johnson. “We’re looking forward to going out there and putting on a great show.” The Bengals, for the third straight year, also return every offensive starter. Acquisitions of massive defensive tackle Sam Adams and safety Dexter Jackson could strengthen a defense that gave up almost 400 yards a game.

Our research shows there is little correlation between how a team does in the preseason and how they do during the regular season, though it has some benefit to seeing how teams will do on opening day.  Hence the fact Cincinnati won all four preseason games is a good sign. Let everyone tell you how great KC is at home.  The fact is they’ve lost four of their last six home openers SU.
