Bengals vs Broncos Game Predictions

[kevin]

Bengals 31
Broncos 28

Joe Burrow, Chase, Higgins, Brown and others put up enough points.  Bengals climb to 8-8 on the season.  Then they slap down Steelers like Chiefs did and Bengals finish with a winning record of 9-8.   Play-Offs or Not, beat Broncos and Steelers anyway, as opposed to speculating what Mike Brown and Family are going to do this off season. JUST WIN BABY the rest of This Season.

I wonder if we will waffle between barely make the playoffs or root to get a higher pick in the draft under the rest of Zac Taylor's tenure. The latter we will continually wonder if Duke Tobin can do his job.

The NFL would love for us to win this week, so I would expect it, and then I expect the chiefs to lose to the Broncos with nothing on the line - and keeping the Bengals out of the playoffs.

If we don't win, the last week is less exciting to those who believe everything they're seeing lol.

I expect the Ravens to win today so they take the north over the steelers, but then again a loss will keep the division close. A win-win for the NFL, as always.

I would never root for Bengals to lose to Denver this week or to lose to Steelers next week.  The heck with the NFL Draft.  It's not like Bengals have a shot at Picks 1 through 5 at top of draft.  I'm rooting for Bengals to beat Denver and I always root for Bengals to beat Steelers.

It is hard to root for the Bengals to lose, what I'm saying is the Bengals have looked like trash this year and it's almost all on the defense. Being 9-8 is covering up that Lou Anarumo should be fired and Mike Brown should make changes. This is exactly where that dude lives, barely miss the playoffs, make the playoffs but don't win the superbowl, get all the fans giving money.

Even the best QB and WR in the league isn't able to beat that out of this team.Someone has to be let go, you choose:
Zac Taylor
Lou Anarumo
Duke Tobin

Pick at least 1.

I would be 100% surprised if the bengals lose against the Broncos because that makes the NFL less exciting and that is all they care about. Now since the Chiefs have little to play for, they might factor that in and just end the Bengals season early

[PCB Bengal Fan]

Being that we're not making the playoffs, I predict Joe and company try to light up the stats the last 2 weeks. We lose the last 2 games because the D does'nt generate any turnovers. They give up 35 to the Broncos and 41 to the Steelers if they don't rest starters.

Again..you conveniently forget about the atomic bomb number of inuries that this team had this year.....but...we need more scouts and a real GM

Sunday Ticket after 27 years

I'm giving up Sunday Ticket after 27 years, I can at least control that. Tobin is like family for whatever reason, Zac will be here as long as Mike Brown is alive, Lou should be gone as soon as the season is over but won't be because we want him gone. My fandom is on the borderline being completey over. All because of the Brown family, thanks Paul for giving us inepitude (MIKE) for 28 outta the last 33 years.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Broncos 31, Bengals 27.

We still cannot beat a good team.

All teams have injuries. The Chiefs have lost one game despite missing a majority of their offensive weapons for a majority of the season. Trouble is when you have poor depth, draft poorly, and are unwilling to make free agency moves to bolster your roster it gets exposed, quickly. Hence the Bengals’ 2024 campaign…

All teams do nut have the number of injuries that plagued the bengals the last two years..just the loss of even one starting tackle can ruin a teams season...we had burrow missing half a year last year..this year burrow was maybe 50% the first 5-6 games..we lost two starting offensive tackles...starting running back and had a boatload of injuries to our defensive line and backfield to boot...and a number of players like hubbarb ...whle not on IR most of the year..played with some serious injuries...the chiefs have not lost the majority of their offensive starters the majority of the season.

[*Awful Llama*]

To be honest, I have no idea what will happen this coming Saturday. We should win, but then again, we should have won a few more and didn't.

Bengals lucked out in the SB run in more ways than one, main one is their injury count was very low. Nick Foles won the SB, you're going to have injuries making it to the SB. It sounds like excuses, which is what it is, since that's what us losers do. 

I don't know if I agree with "Burrow 50% the first 5-6 games". I do recall our offense looking worse than it is right now, we barely see our punter anymore lol. Burrow is hitting elite status if he wasn't there, probably remains there now for the rest of his career.

12 TD - 2 INT, 392 yards (5 TD/1 INT) in the 5th game. 232 (2 TD/0 INT) and 324 (3 TD/0 int) in games 4 and 3. 258 (2 TD/0 int) in the 2nd game.

Those are all winnable games if you're the Chiefs who haven't scored over 30 all year long.

I think half of our fanbase wouldn't agree with "lost our starting RB" when Chase Brown should have been #1 even when Mixon was here.

Joey Mixon, 8 carries 18 yards today.

This is an interesting matchup. It's at home but we only have two wins there, and that was against crappy teams.

The Broncos are a middle of the road and below offense but they do manage to score some points. Their defense is stout vs. the run and they don't surrender many points.

We on the other hand have one of the worst D's in the NFL but have shown some life lately, will that continue? Of course we had the best passing O in the league and that of course will be our path to victory.

They're still fully in the playoff hunt with a lot to play for. I'd say it's going to come down to can our D get some stops?

We'll see

That life you speak of is turnovers & bad QBs on the other teams.

it's a meaningless matchup now. chiefs will let the broncos in. since they locked up the #1 seed. it's going to be funny watching them lose another AFC championship game in arrowhead.

I think we can pull it off, but should be close.

27-25 Bengals.

The Broncos aren't some world beater... They have a nice defense, Sutton is a really good player, and Bo Nix is certainly on his way to being an above average QB... But Carson Wentz is as capable a backup as there is, and I could see the Chiefs still beating Denver at home.

[FormerlyBengalRugby]

If the Bengals can get up early, I like their chances. Hoping the d-line can step it up again and have an impact game.

Bengals offense can walk down any defense out there, so they always have a puncher's chance.

Completely agree. The Broncos are a good team, but Wentz is a good backup for sure. Rivalry games always mean something to the teams.

The Chiefs want to sweep the Broncos there is no question about that. We just need to take care of ourselves and beat the Broncos.
