ESPN's NFL Nation reporters put out their early power ratings for next season.

Baltimore is #1.
KC is #2
Bills #5
Dolphins #6
Cleveland is # 11
Bengals #13

Guess they think the window is part-of-the-way closed.

Who cares about ESPN?

The Bengals currently have the 6th best odds to win the Super Bowl.

ESPN's a joke.

I remember when I used to rely on them for all my sports information and fantasy ratings.

As long as we have Burrow and Chase, our window is wide open.

Burrow didn't have a line and took us to the Super Bowl and AFCCG.

Seems like about same odds as they had the Bengals at last year. I remember it as either 1100 or 1200. I guess the 49ers odds are so good because they still  have their QB on a rookie contract -- a last-pick-in-the-draft rookie contract.

Still good enough for the playoffs. Oh, and ESPN can eat a big fat...

Tribute to The Rattler

As others said, espn sucks. But anyways, I like our chances this year as long as Burrow stays healthy and we get more efficient
running the ball and stopping the run on Defense. This FA seems set up pretty well for us to add just what we need to improve
in these areas. Cannot wait to see us start beating the Chiefs and our AFC North rivals again.

We won't go 1-5 in the Division next year, bet on it.

Sure hope we do better than that as well.

4-2 is good in our Division, I think we get back to that next season.

Still propping the Bills up I see.

13 feels a lil disrespectful. I know we lightweight sucked for half of 2023, but still...

Fandom is a funny thing. It's amusing seeing people rag on ESPN as some sort of den of dumbassery when they had us at #2 going into the 2023 season. Just win a bit and we'll be back in their good graces, geez.

ESPN hasn’t been relevant in years. They laid off most of their best people.

Well, a year ago they thought the top 2 teams were KC and us.

Yep and watch them draft another top WR in the 1st this year and keep firing.

Define “top”

They are drafting 32nd. They might land another Rashee Rice caliber receiver, but hopefully they end up with another Sky Moore.

Based on what we put on the field in 2023 13 is probly just right

But really hard to predict which teams with Gain or Lose over FA/Draft atm

We're #13 because of our O-line and Pollack.
