The way the Bengals lost it ,is so bengals though. The Titans had bot wrs out.. The Bengals are Healthy and let some Mike Wgite torch them... It's just the way they lost it. Being up 11 with under 5 minutes, teams were 59-0 , at least until the Bengals. So ya , the Bengals would be the only 1 to lose lile that...

They may not end up being a playoff team, but a 7-9 win team is a decent improvement compared to the 4-11-1 record last year.
No one should expect going from 4-11-1 to "must be a playoff team." That's unrealistic.
It's happened, obviously, but it shouldn't be expected.

Here are the wins I predict for the remaining schedule:
CLE (home)
PIT (home)
@ DEN

That would put the Bengals at 8 wins.

I could see them winning up to 2 more than that.

I know some will say SF, but I think Shanahan's offensive style is the kryptonite to Anarumo's defense. He knows how to take advantage of it like he did back in 2019. We just saw the Jets deploy that same type of offense and it worked well.
Depending if the Raiders pick up any more pass catchers, I could see the Bengals beating the Raiders too. But it sounds like OBJ is going to be released and DeSean Jackson is out there still, so if I'm the Raiders, I'm going after one/both.
They could have a good offense with OBJ and Jackson on the outside with Renfrow in the slot and Waller at TE.
Bengals definitely have the ability to sweep the division.
