BENGALS PLAY NFC NORTH, AFC SOUTH. WHICH TEAMS ARE TOUGH ?

[Fan_in_Kettering]

This is the best of both worlds. The Bengals often have some of their best seasons playing against the NFC North as well as against the AFC South. Either way, it's all about defense because if the secondary plays well and the pass rush is aggressive, Cincinnati can win all eight of these games. The games against Buffalo and Denver should be winnable too.

Baltimore is improving, Cleveland is sewage on a stick, so that leaves Pittsburgh. It's mental. Deep down, Cincinnnati believes they cannot beat the Steelers and until the Bengals play smart for sixty minutes and blow Pittsburgh away, that mental block will remain.

I'm still going with 13-3, the best Bengals' record in team history.
