If the line situation doesn't get resolved this is what I fear...
Jets - L
Dolphins - L
Ravens - L
Saints - L
Falcons - W
Browns - L
Panthers - W
Steelers - W
Titans - L
Chiefs - L
Browns - W
Buccaneers - L
Patriots - L
Bills - L
Ravens - W
Final record: 5-12
We aren't beating the Browns or Ravens... Hard to see that possible.
I think they have a shot against the Panthers and Falcons but those will be the battle for the 1OA pick.
edit: The Panthers do have Mayfield who we can't beat.
It's Falcons or 0-17.
somewhere between 0-17 and 15-2. Based off first 2 weeks and quality of opponents i'm leaning towards 0-17.
9-8 at best
Bank on it
Who wants to bet ?

Where do you see 9 wins?
Realistic best bets are Panthers, Saints, Falcons, and Titans.
and with Mayfield you can all but count Panthers out as a opportunity to get a W.
My money is on 3-14 at best.
Heart says 10-7 more realistically 8-9

It's definitely not looking good
I think we beat the Jets.

I hope you're right, but history is not on our side there. In 14 games played at New York, the Bengals are 2-12 all time. Including an embarrassing loss there last year.
Oh we could lose to anyone.
i got them losing first 5 an the beating no an atl, then losing to browns. so 2-6 at bye. then beat car an pitt so 4-6, then lose tenn an kc 4-8. the w cleve, l tb, w ne, l buff, w bal. so 7-10. i think thats realistic

That should be enough for Zac to get another year added to his contract.
9-7 and that’s if we turn it on

I never make predictions but the Bengals will win in NY because they played like dogshit for 2 weeks and the Jets had an improbable comeback in the last 2 minutes in Cleveland. Because that's the way the NFL works.
We lost 2 games we should have won, so now to make things right we just have to win all the games we should win in addition to winning 2 games we should lose. But really, we just need to win our division. Bad start to that with week 1, but it's very doable.
5 wins if they're lucky.
I also dont think Burrow is going to make it through the season. Getting hit like crazy after 2 games, is asking for another bad injury.

The line isn't the problem, it's the play calling and Joe holding onto the ball too long. They aren't giving Burrow any easy passes and are relying on him making a play rather than scheming guys open by exploiting the defense's weaknesses.
With that said, I've put my predictions above in
Bold.
0-17 and anything other is just gravy
The Bengals are basically an average team this year. I say 9-8 will be the final record. We have a lot of issues this season.
