I am just giving myself some caution. I see us winning this game and winning it handily myself, I am a long time Bengal fan though.

Hard not to be a bit jaded going into any Playoff game after all these years, but this isn't the Marv coached Bengals either.

But otherwise yes the defense is winning the games for LV recently. At least they are much improved and playing better. The D ran out of gas last time they played the Bengals. The Raiders offense stunk up that game.

Burrow and the boys are taking that to a much higher level and have the chance to grow the fan base on a national, hell...global level.  No one was a Pats fan outside of a few drunk Bostonians a few decades ago now they have a massive following.  Not saying the Bengals are the next Pats (although CJ would correct me and say "why not"), but you get what I am saying.

The fan base of the Cincinnati Bengals is going to expand exponentially when the entire nation sees this team in action in The Jungle with the best fans in all of the NFL in attendance.

With the exception of the Thursday Night game against Jacksonville the Bengals have not had the singular focus of the nation this season.  

On Saturday all that changes and, win or lose, the Bengals will entice a whole new generation of fans.  This will be the beginning of the Bengals becoming one of the few teams in the NFL with national fanbases like Dallas, Pittsburgh, or New England.  Soon you’re going to see kids wearing Joe Burrow or Ja’Marr Chase jerseys from Boston to Bakersfield.

This message board will soon gain new members as well.

Cincinnati is fun to watch.  Fans love that.  On offense and defense the Bengals feature playmakers at every level and on special teams Evan McPherson is a freak.  One bomb from Burrow to Chase, one pounding run by Joe Mixon, one crushing sack by Trey Hendrickson, and maybe an interception from Chidobe Awuzie will be all it takes.  

New fans will fall for this exciting young team.
