I am ready to go be the only Bengals fan in a sea of Texans tonight! Sunday had some great games. NE vs NYG anyone? Crazy game. Palmer put the shine on the Seahawks too. Can't wait for that game.
Here's some information you may not have been aware of concerning this game tonight.
One of the tie breakers for the #1 Seed is common opponents (minimum of 4) and that tie breaker comes before the strength of schedule tie breaker. Cincinnati and New England do have 4 common opponents this season:
1. Pittsburgh
2. Buffalo
3. Denver
4. Houston
Since Houston is one of the 4 Common opponents we share with New England, if we're concerned about winning that #1 Seed from New England in the playoffs - this game tonight matters more than just the win/loss column - it's one of the tie breakers - so tonight's game could technically count as a game and a half in playoff seeding.

But if they have the same number of common opponents, and they win them all, it's a wash and goes to the next tie-breaker.
It's going to dump about 20 inches of snow and we have a blizzard warning in effect (as of 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time) and I couldn't care less because the Bengals are on!
I like how on this pre-game piece, they said no current Bengals have a TV show. Guess they forgot about AJ Hawk's podcasts, which are exactly like Chad and TO's little talk show. Btw, it kinda irks me that they still bring up the 90's. Most of that stuff happened 20 years ago. The Bengals have been respectable since 2003.
