Steelers are prob gonna beat the bears, so they’ll be 5-3

If browns win, they’re 5-4

Ravens will beat the Vikings so that makes them 6-2

So would you still be confident that cincy can make the playoffs?

My expectation this year was that the Bengals would be around .500.
It's rare to go from 4.5 wins to playoffs the very next season.
Playoffs should probably be more of an expectation next year, not this year.

Look at the Cardinals for a good sign of what to expect:
2018: 3-13
2019: 5-10-1
2020: 8-8
2021: currently 7-1

Bengals' 2019 and 2020 basically follows the Cardinals' 2018 and 2019 minus 1 win each season.
