The favored team each of the past four years, Kansas City opened as the favorite again this season, but the line flipped early in the week as K.C.

As the line continues to bounce around, it's worth noting that there are tangible reasons behind the Bengals briefly being a rare title-game favorite.

Cincinnati overcame a 21-3 deficit and won the game in overtime after Bengals safety Vonn Bell picked off Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes to set up Evan McPherson's game-winning field goal in Kansas City.

Linebacker Germaine Pratt's forced fumble of Travis Kelce early in the fourth quarter set up Burrow's game-winning touchdown pass to Chris Evans.

Mahomes, who will likely win his second league MVP next month, was asked about his team's struggles against Cincinnati after the Week 13 loss.

Speaking of quarterbacks, the high ankle sprain Mahomes suffered during Saturday's divisional round win over the Jacksonville Jaguars is surely another reason why the Bengals are favored.
