Here is the remaining schedule:

Browns - W
Redskins - W
@Giants - L
Bills - W
@Ravens - W
Eagles - W
@Browns - W
Steelers - L
@Texans - L
Ravens - W

The margin for error is non existent now. There is none. So, we have to win the games we are supposed to win. Honestly, I see 7 more possible wins on that schedule. It really softens up after this week. That would put us at 9-6. Good enough to make the playoffs?

This team has some issues obviously (offensive line, defense) so this is all probably just wishful thinking. Like I said in another thread, I dont think you can just "fix" the problems this team is having.

That's confident there, Weezy.

I had the Bengals going 10-6 coming into this season. If anything, the schedule looks harder than it did before the season started.

I had them with losses against the Broncos, Cowboys, Patriots, Steelers (here), Redskins, and one of the two Browns games.

The Bengals already lost @Steelers, which I had them winning. So that'd sit them at 9-7.

Now....
The Ravens look like a decent team again, so sweeping them will be tough.
Eagles look like a good team.


Even if you figure they sweep the Browns, but lose one to the Ravens, that evens out in my predictions. Add in a loss to the Eagles, and all of a sudden the Bengals are an 8-8 team. Unless something seriously changes, that is where my predictions currently reside. 8-8


(9-7 doesn't get them into the playoffs, either. Losses to the Broncos, Patriots, Steelers x2, and Texans in your scenario gives them a 5-5 record in the AFC, which is terrible for tiebreakers.)
