31-16 Bengals

All gloom and doom right up to the point we're winning by 30 in the 4th quarter with 30 seconds left on the clock, 1st down and Burrow has the ball in his hand..  Typical Bengals fan mentality.. Seems legit to me.. It's at that point everyone says, "I knew it all along!"

20-17 Bengals in a cold, bone jarring defensive slugfest.

Bengals 31
Patriots 16

Burrow ties his personal best by yet again throwing 4 TDs.

27-20 Bengals. Burrow with 2 TDs.

27-17 good guys. I think it will be close most of the game and a late TD seals it.

30-10. I think the New England offense matches up very poorly against our defense, especially if the Bengals can stop the run. I also suspect the Patriots are liable to phone it in after what just happened to them.

If Mac Jones plays:
Bengals 28
Patriots 13

If, for some reason, Mac Jones doesn't play (gets benched for Zappe or injured from getting stiff armed into the dirt on the final play of regulation vs the Raiders):
Bengals 28
Patriots 23

Forecast says temps in the 20's and pretty windy. I don't think there'll be a lot of points scored and noodle arm Mac Jones won't be allowed to throw the ball. If we can stop the run we'll win a low scoring affair, say 23-13.

Bengals: 26
Patriots: 13

In all seriousness though, I think we need a healthy mix of Mixon and Perine and especially get Perine trucking down the field if the weather is as bad as expected.

Agreed.  NE is pretty stout against the run.  Need to impose the will on them and take some shots when they sell out to stop the run.  If Belichek does what he usually does, he will focus on stopping Chase.  That should open up Tee and the rushing attack.  

Bengals - 20
Patriots - 10

Bengals run well. Bengals 27 Pats 10

Bengals keep it going and win 24-20

24-10 Bengals. Our D will be a force!

I'd be concerned with the cold weather and Tee and his hammy.
