I feel like in the pre-season if we would have known that going into the Cleveland game the team was going to have 5 wins people would have been stoked (of course a lot would have said you were crazy as well) but the most promising thing about the season is that even when they have lost, they've been in the game. Not once have they been just blown out or embarrassed like years past.

Even if they miss the playoffs this season, the team is trending the right direction for the first time in several years and that is something to be excited about.

Gotta love the parity in the NFL. No other sport can provide this, MLB you know the players and the duds before the season starts (1 or 2 teams might surprise every few seasons), NBA is the same stars and the same bad teams, but in the NFL ever game counts and a team can just pop off and surprise.

Hell, a few weeks ago Tennessee looked like a broked and lost team and now... #1 seed. Love it, and it's nice to see the home team in the middle of it all.

Overall - 6-8 wins
JAX
DET
NYJ
Maybe CHI
LV and/or DEN
1 win against CLE and/or PIT (not sweeping either team)

So by this point, I had assumed the Bengals would have about 3-5 wins (NYJ, DET, JAX, maybe CHI, maybe 1 win against PIT).
Given the Bengals have already gotten to 5, I think they could get to 9 or maybe 10, but I don't see them getting more than 10.

House money at this point. I bet the under, I really thought 6 wins was the cap maybe they'd hit 7 but now there is certainly a case for 10 wins. It's just a nice turn around from the early years of Zac.
