This game has the makings of a defensive battle. Both defenses are stout and can lay the wood. For Cincinnati, they are still waiting for quarterback Andy Dalton to win a playoff game as he has came up short twice in his young career.

For Kansas City, Andy Reid has to hope that his team does not get in an offensive shootout because they will not be able to win. Alex Smith will not be able to put the necessary points if this game gets in the high 20’s or 30’s. But I don’t think this will be a high scoring game.

It has the makings to be the second best wild card game in the playoffs and a defensive battle with a 17-14 score.
