It's fairly likely neither of them hit.

If I bet flop and turn, I'm probably spewing chips. If I bet the flop and then check the turn, I could easily be pushed off the hand. Suggestions on how to play this hand?

You seem to contradict yourself here. If neither of them hit, then you are value betting your pair. If they will call you with a naked ace then you want to bet. You aren't spewing chips, they are.

Neither of these opponents will bet at me on the flop or the turn when I'm behind. But if I bet the turn and get called, I'm definitely behind. So you think I should just bet the flop and turn anyways?

Sometimes you just have to play poker. You said in you OP that neither of them probably hit. If that is your read then go with it. If you recieve new information that you are behind then react accordingly.

That's just my point... Against reasonable opponents, I'd definitely bet. But against these players, they'll call with or without a pair of kings or queens regardless, so I can gain no information from their play. Against two random hands, my equity is almost exactly 50%.
