We all pretty much know what we are getting with the Browns, Ravens and Stealers. I haven't watched much of the other games this year, but from what I can tell from listening to NFL radio several hours a day:
Raiders are a tough team.
Chargers have Murray, but are horrible at stopping the run.
9ers suck
Broncos have lost to every team they've played with a winning record
Chiefs Offensive line is suspect, their defensive line gets no penetration and they lead the league in turnovers.

For those who have watched these teams, does this match what you see? Because theoretically, if we handle the Browns and this is true I could see us win out.

The Raiders seem tailor (taylor?) made for the Bengals.  Their strength on defense is their edge rushers who aren't overly speedy, but relentless (sound familiar?).  Their passing game relies on a lot of deep shots off play action that were jump balls that Waller won many times and that had some really bad CB play against guys like Ruggs that I don't see our guys giving up.  

They have a solid roster and a good offensive line, too, though, so they won't be a cupcake (especially on the road) but they won't be impossible, either.  

Good thing the Bengals have them coming off a bye.  

Pretty much agree with everything else you have said here.  Early in the season, it was said the Bengals might be favored in one or two games.  Right now, I can only see them NOT being favored against the Raiders (possibly) and the Chiefs (but they will have to start showing something). 

This three game road trip has allowed for a lot more home games down the stretch with only Vegas, Cleveland, and Denver for remaining road games after this weekend.
