From what I've seen in 5 weeks, I don't think they have a realistic chance.
I do think they'll have more wins than last year though.

As the PFF article about Taylor needing to evolve said, the Bengals have had the second-easiest schedule so far, but they have the second-hardest schedule the rest of the way.
The 3-1 start might turn into a losing record rather soon.

The AFCN is honestly wide open at this point.  Everyone is jock riding the Browns, but they haven't beaten anybody.  The Steelers have fallen off.  The Ravens have a ton of guys on IR, but people are geeked because they beat a 2-3 KC squad that looks more like your traditional SB loser hangover team than AFC title material.  The Colts destroyed them last night until all their CB's went down, and even then they would have won if their K wasn't also injured.

I see that the Bengals have ~$11 mill in cap space remaining for this season, and I thought all of that could be rolled over.
