I thought 10-6 and wildcard spot at the start of the season.
I think 8-8 now....i think the Redskins game is critical on the schedule
If they win that in London then they go into the bye week at 4-4 (they surely will beat the Browns) and will have some momentum going into a run of winnable games.
If they lose that, they get to stew on a loss for two weeks and the cracks might start to appear. I also think that if they're 3-5 at the bye they struggle to get to break even the rest of the way

I believe I said 11-5
There's little chance without a huge turn around in so many areas for this team to break .500 8-8 is best case and 7-9 is more likely.

Too early prediction is that we beat the Bills and Ravens head to head so we can get the 2nd wildcard spot.

God, regardless of our record, please no more ties.

And a 1st round trip to Pittsburgh!

When the schedule first came out, I was thinking 10-6. Now, I'm thinking 7-9 at best. So far, the team has been underwhelming.

I say the Bengals can pull 10-6....realistically.....really.
Here's how...
Wins: CLE, @CLE, WAS, NYG, @HOU, BAL
Losses: @NE, PIT, @BAL
Toss Ups: BUF, PHI
Take the two toss up games and they are 10-6, back into the playoffs, have no expectations, and pull off the upset to break the streak.
They only have to win 2 road games @CLE and @HOU to do that (very realistic), and could surprise PIT or @BAL to get to 11-5.
People bail too easily when things get tough.
