Bet on the Bengals losing in the first round of said playoffs.

Pretty much locks, right?

Not this year, grasshopper 

With a healthy Hill, Geno returning to form, MJ back to compliment Dunlap and the other DEs, young corners coming of age, etc., we're going to crush whoever we play in the playoffs (assuming we stay healthy)

49ers are at 7.5 for the over/under right now, which is amazing, so I might bet that big because there's no way they get there.

I think we can easily get to 9, but I think a lot of the games will be close and hard-fought.

But it will also explode for lots of yards in a few games.

Also, with the amount of weapons that we have, it's going to be tough for a coordinator to sell-out to stop the run.

Have to hedge bets.

For one, it protects against the unexpected, like our entire starting offense getting sick the day of the Super Bowl

Secondly, it also makes it more fun.  Making money is good, but the thrill of having more things going on is great.

Give him 20 to 25 a game and he could lead the league in rushing.

20 a game at his current 5 yards a pop gives him 1,600, which is still 200 below Murray's from last season, but I don't see Murray repeating those numbers, and I think Hill putting up big numbers from the get-go gives the offensive line confidence to open up bigger holes and gives him the continued swagger to dominate defenses.
