So I thought this would be kind of cool.  I'm going to list out a bunch of different things for people to give their predictions on.  At the end of the season I will do my best to come back to this thread and tally up all of the results.  

I was thinking at that time I could come back and either list out rankings for each category, closest to furthest away, or simply list the winners.  Maybe we could even all agree to rep the "winners" as some sort of prize or something. I'm open to any suggestions.  Also, please list any additional categories you would like to add to this list.

Hopefully this will be cool to have everything all in one place, and to able to come back to. Also, these are not Price Is Right rules. You can go over, it's just whoever is closest.

Here are the categories...

Will add Mixon gets 575 yards Receiving depending on how much Gio is used in the passing game. I edited BTW.

Left out Tate so he could be in here somewhere affecting numbers.

I'm sorry but is anyone adding up their receiving yardage? Unless the backup QB is coming in and adding to Burrow's yardage, the numbers aren't right.

I am going to go back and add it up later and edit...

Actually mine isn't too far off what with Tate, Gio, and others taking some REC yards, I'm keeping it.

I edited mine to be close.

There was no Auden Tate in the OP or Mixon's receiving yardage so I just tried to get it as close to realistic as I could.

Haha, happens every time.  There simply won't be as many balls to go around.  Or maybe Mixon throws for 1000 yard as halfback passes :)

I giggled, then really laughed when I saw "two games".

While I completely understand the logical trepidation with assigning the Bengals 6, 7, or 8 wins, I strongly believe that if Burrow throws for close to 4,000 yards with a healthy Green, Ross, HIggins, Mixon, etc. producing as we have indicated....

The Bengals will win at least 9 games and will be in the playoffs.

A much more productive offense, a better defense (especially against the run which killed them slowly last year), and the coaching staff figuring out their team in year 2 is going to make this team a contender. Yes, Burrow and Green on offense, the additions made to the defense, and the improved coaching we saw down the stretch make this team a contender.
